Abstract
From September 1978 till October 1979 limnological investigations of Lake Bled, Slovenia, were carried out at monthly intervals. Vertical profiles of physical and chemical variables and phytoplankton were determined.
The effect of artificial inflow from the River Radovna on the lake was studied. The results indicate that the lake is still very eutrophic. During summer stratification the Radovna's inflow positively affects those variables whose dynamics depend on the lake's anaerobic conditions.
