The present disclosure relates to a method and a
system to increase the dissolved
oxygen content in a
water body having a dissolved
oxygen content of between 0 mg / l and 4 mg / l, or to anticipate a future drop of a dissolved
oxygen content of a
water body to between 0 mg / l and 4 mg / l, wherein the
water body is non-stratified, or is stratified and comprises at least an epilimnion, wherein the method comprises a step a, wherein a
stream of diluted aqueous
nitrate containing liquid droplets of which at least part are diluted oxygenated aqueous
nitrate containing liquid droplets are formed, and a subsequent step b, wherein the diluted aqueous
nitrate containing liquid droplets of which at least part are oxygenated diluted aqueous nitrate containing liquid droplets are further spread, in case of a non-stratified water body, in a part of the water body or in the whole water body, and in case of a stratified water body, in a part of the epilimnion of the water body or in the whole epilimnion of the water body.
