An eutrophication model for a lowland river-lake system
نویسنده
چکیده
Natural and man induced nutrient loads affect the functioning of freshwater ecosystems and restrict various water uses. In particular, internal pollution by nutrient remobilisation from sediment plays an important role in shallow water bodies. A sustainable management of such freshwater ecosystems can be achieved by using simulation models. To forecast the eutrophication process of a shallow river-lake system a modelling and simulation framework was developed including phosphorus remobilisation from sediment. Data are taken from the Lower Havel River. For water quality management decision control strategies based on the limiting nutrient concept and threshold values of LAWA are discussed.

Analysis and simulation of nutrient retention and management for a lowland river-lake system
In the context of the European Water Framework Directive, we studied the possible impact of reduced emissions on phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations in a lowland river-lake system (Havel River, Germany). As a prerequisite, we quantified the retention of nutrients in the river from mass balances and deduced its seasonal variation. We detected that about 30% of the total nitrogen input is reta...
متن کاملRelationship between nutrients and phytoplankton biomass based on chlorophyll prediction model in Zribar Lake of Kurdestan, a case study
Zaribar Lake is a little shallow lake in Kurdistan province of Iran and it is faced to eutrophication.The study of phytoplankton biomass-nutrient relations is important in eutrophication management and there are many empirical models to predict phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) based on nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorous) amounts in the lake. Evaluation of these empirical models and compar...
متن کاملModelling phosphorus dynamics in multi-branch river systems: a study of the Black River, Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada.
High rates of nutrient loading from agricultural and urban development have resulted in surface water eutrophication and groundwater contamination in regions of Ontario. In Lake Simcoe (Ontario, Canada), anthropogenic nutrient contributions have contributed to increased algal growth, low hypolimnetic oxygen concentrations, and impaired fish reproduction. An ambitious programme has been initiate...
متن کاملChanges in Water Chemistry Along the Course of Two Rivers with Different Hydrological Regimes
Chemical composition of water and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels were investigated over three years, along two large rivers in NE Poland, with different hydrological regimes. One river was from lakeland and the second a typical lowland river with forests and high contributions of peatlands in the catchment. The study involved hydrological (specific runoff, river discharge) effects on the...

Lake of the Martyrs of the Persian Gulf (also known as the Chitgar Lake) is located in the north-western of Tehran. The construction of this artificial lake was done by Tehran Municipality was filled water of the Kan River in 2012. TN, TP, SD and Chl-a was used to determine trophic levels. Water sampling was performed by Rotner sampler and the water quality was investigated on 5 stations site d...
