Modeling Phosphorus Loading to Lake Allatoona: Implications for Water Quality Trading
Lake Allatoona, a large reservoir north of Atlanta Georgia that drains an area of about 2870 km, is threatened by excessive algal growth and scheduled for a phosphorus (P) TMDL. In this paper, we use the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) computer model to estimate the total P load to Lake Allatoona during the periods 1992-1996 and 2001-2004. We also use the model to estimate the contribution fr...
متن کاملDistribution Characteristics of Phosphorus in the Sediments and Overlying Water of Poyang Lake
Phosphorus (P) is a key indicator of the aquatic organism growth and eutrophication in lakes. The distribution and speciation of P and its release characteristics from sediments were investigated by analyzing sediment and water samples collected during high flow and low flow periods. Results showed that the average concentrations (ranges) of total phosphorus (TP) in the surface and deep water w...
متن کاملSand capping for controlling phosphorus release from lake sediments.
In this research, the use of the sand capping technique for controlling phosphorus release from lake sediment was evaluated experimentally. Multiple acrylic columns were prepared to measure the dissolved oxygen, oxidation reduction potential, total phosphorus, and phosphate concentrations of the overlying water on the capping layer with thicknesses of 0, 40, and 80 mm. Sand capping effectively ...
متن کاملCharacterizing Point Source Phosphorus for the lower Boise River Total Maximum Daily Load and Aquatox Water Quality Modeling
Accurately characterizing point source phosphorus and communicating that description is a critically important step in the development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) and the supporting water quality modeling. This is particularly critical for low phosphorus targets, which result in small wasteload allocations. Small wasteload allocations mean point sources must spend millions of dollars i...
متن کاملPhosphorus flux from bottom sediments in Lake Eucha, Oklahoma.
Phosphorus inputs into reservoirs include external sources from the watershed and internal sources from the reservoir bottom sediments. This study quantified sediment P flux in Lake Eucha, northeastern Oklahoma, USA, and evaluated the effectiveness of chemical treatment to reduce sediment P flux. Six intact sediment-water columns were collected from three sites in Lake Eucha near the reservoir ...
