What does Inland Water means?
Viscosity
Surface film
Surface tension
Surface radiation
Turbidity
Density
The density of water depends on the quantity of dissolved substances, the
temperature and the pressure.
With increasing amounts of dissolved solids the density increases in a
roughly linear fashion
The quantity of dissolved solids for inland waters is usually below 1 g / l,
except, for mineral waters (springs) inland salt water bodies, and water
bodies subjected to marine influence
The density difference due to chemical factors is not more than 0.85 g /l
and the density differences occurring in different zones of the same water
body are usually an order of magnitude less than this
At normal pressure, water reaches its maximum density at 4ºC when 1
cm3 of water has the mass of 1 gram. Water becomes less dense below
4ºC, so ice floats to the surface
