Trout
Trout are species of freshwater fish belonging to the genera '' Oncorhynchus'', ''Salmo'' and ''Salvelinus'', all of the subfamily Salmoninae of the family Salmonidae. The word ''trout'' is also used as part of the name of some non-salmonid fish such as ''Cynoscion nebulosus'', the spotted seatrout or speckled trout. Trout are closely related to salmon and char (or charr): species termed salmon and char occur in the same genera as do fish called trout (''Oncorhynchus'' – Pacific salmon and trout, ''Salmo'' – Atlantic salmon and various trout, ''Salvelinus'' – char and trout). Lake trout and most other trout live in freshwater lakes and rivers exclusively, while there are others, such as the steelhead, a form of the coastal rainbow trout, that can spend two or three years at sea before returning to fresh water to spawn (a habit more typical of salmon). Arctic char and brook trout are part of the char genus. Trout are an important food source for humans and wildlife, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tallinn Water Supply System
Tallinn water supply system is a water supply system that provides potable water to Estonia's capital city Tallinn. 90% of Tallinn's potable water is produced from the surface water. The heart of the system Ülemiste Water Treatment Plant is located in the centre of the city, beside the Lake Ülemiste. Because the natural catchment of the lake is quite small (52 km²), additional water is directed to Ülemiste via canals from Pirita, Jägala, Soodla and even from the upper stream of the Pärnu River in Pandivere Heights. The system includes 6 water reservoirs and 69 km of canals and pipelines, which makes the total area of the catchment 1865 km². The remaining 10% of the water in Tallinn comes from 29 groundwater wells, mostly in the outskirts (Nõmme, Pirita, Kakumäe Kakumäe ( Estonian for ''"Owl Hill"'') is a subdistrict ( et, asum) in the district of Haabersti, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
