Limnology - the study of inland waters - had its genesis in Europe
about the turn of the century. The studies of Fore1 on Lake Geneva
were of seminal value at this time. It prospered under the early
guidance of Thienemann, Naumann and Wesenberg-Lund in Europe and,
soon transplanted, of Birge and Juday in North America (to name
just a few early spirits). Now, liminology is a respectable
scientific discipline taught at many universities, and limnologists
are recognized as important contributors to our understanding of
how this fragile spaceship functions. All this acknowledged, it
must also be acknowledged that limnology is not yet a globally
comprehensive science. To be sure, much is known about globally
applicable processes, and the structural elements of aquatic
ecosystems worldwide, but limnological emphases, interests and
concerns remain essentially European and North American in balance.
Much is known about lakes and rivers in less than one fifth of the
world's land area (northern temperature regions); rather little is
known about inland waters elsewhere.
