Variation of Water Quality and Nutrient Load Limits in Lake Baiyangdian, North China

چکیده
We used Vollenweider mass balance model that can predict maximum allowable nutrient loading rates or load limits (LM) for prediction of trophic status in Lake Baiyangdian’s fresh waters. The average annual hydraulic inflow rate (Qi) and nutrient input concentration (CPi) explained most of the variation in LM for guiding the lake management. We found such a single model for total phosphorus (TP) could provide a reasonable fit to trophic status in Lake Baiyangdian. The total phosphorus tolerance input value should not exceed 1.0×10 g/year, and the tolerance range CPi could be limited in less than 0.108 g/m. The research results can facilitate the development of total maximum loads for water diversion from reservoirs and may have broader regional utility. They may also aid the development of nutrient concentration criteria.

متن کاملA shallow lake remediation regime with Phragmites australis: Incorporating nutrient removal and water evapotranspiration.
Shallow lake eutrophication has been an important issue of global water environment. Based on the simulation and field sampling experiments in Baiyangdian Lake, the largest shallow lake in North China, this study proposed a shallow lake remediation regime with Phragmites australis (reed) incorporating its opposite effects of nutrient removal and water evapotranspiration on water quality. The re...
متن کاملDetritus Quality Controls Macrophyte Decomposition under Different Nutrient Concentrations in a Eutrophic Shallow Lake, North China
Macrophyte decomposition is important for carbon and nutrient cycling in lake ecosystems. Currently, little is known about how this process responds to detritus quality and water nutrient conditions in eutrophic shallow lakes in which incomplete decomposition of detritus accelerates the lake terrestrialization process. In this study, we investigated the effects of detritus quality and water nut...
متن کاملSpatial identification of critical nutrient loads of large shallow lakes: Implications for Lake Taihu (China).
Ongoing eutrophication frequently causes toxic phytoplankton blooms. This induces huge worldwide challenges for drinking water quality, food security and public health. Of crucial importance in avoiding and reducing blooms is to determine the maximum nutrient load ecosystems can absorb, while remaining in a good ecological state. These so called critical nutrient loads for lakes depend on the s...

This study investigated the presence and distribution of 22 antibiotics, including eight quinolones, nine sulfonamides and five macrolides, in the water, sediments, and biota samples from Baiyangdian Lake, China. A total of 132 samples were collected in 2008 and 2010, and laboratory analyses revealed that antibiotics were widely distributed in the lake. Sulfonamides were the dominant antibiotic...
