Artificial reservoirs found to be significant methane emitters, worsening global warming.
The article discusses how methane emissions from artificial reservoirs contribute to global warming. Researchers studied methane fluxes in a reservoir near Moscow for 6 years and used a model called LAKE to estimate methane emissions. They found that artificial reservoirs are significant sources of methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. This research helps us better understand how human activities impact the environment and contribute to climate change.
