Abstract: Headwater lakes and catchments 16 On a global scale, headwater ecosystems are strongly related to environmental security (Haigh and 17 Křeček, 2000). Water-resource recharge depends mainly on runoff generation in distant headwater 18 catchments, and headwater lakes act as vital natural regulators that maintain steady downstream 19 water supplies, stabilize base flow, and buffer against extreme hydrological changes. Lake-sourced 20 water contributions secure water availability for downstream regions. Hydrological and 21 biogeochemical processes within headwater catchments can reduce erosion and sediment load,
