Short summary
This study examines temperature changes in Rappbode Reservoir, Germany’s largest drinking-water reservoir, over four decades. By analyzing detailed temperature data and weather records, the research shows how factors like sunlight and air temperature impact water temperature at different depths. It also finds that late-season warming in deep waters is mainly caused by water withdrawals. These findings help improve understanding of lake ecosystems and can guide better water resource management.
