Hydrological Cycle

Hydrological Cycle Water Renewal: Lake Ohrid has a slow water renewal cycle. It takes about 70 years for a complete replacement of the waters in the lake Temperature Stratification: In summer, the water warms up to about 24 °C on the surface, while at greater depths the temperature remains around 5–8 °C. In winter, the water temperature is uniform, allowing for the circulation of nutrients. Lake Ohrid is also characterized by high water transparency, reaching more than 21 meters, which allows for the maintenance of high biodiversity.
