Book Description
Although not problematic within this reservoir, unacceptably low dissolved oxygen concentrations farther downstream in the system of reservoirs in the Cumberland River Basin have caused concern. This model study was undertaken to evaluate the water quality (specifically temperature and dissolved oxygen) impacts of operational changes at individual reservoir outlet structures. The study was also designed to reveal the interactions between hydrodynamics and stratification within the reservoir. Unstable stratification is thought to be responsible for additional problems in the reservoir: absence of an anticipated substantial fishery and a less than desirable amount of contact recreation. The concept of installing submerged weirs at the mouths of two of the reservoir's embayments within an established recreational site was proposed to help alleviate these 2 problems. As Cordell Hull Lock and Dam operates as a run-of-the-river navigation project on the main-stem Cumberland River, no significant operational changes at this site are possible. The reservoir is characterized by high flows, intermittent moderate to weak thermal stratification, and a relatively shallow pool. These factors combine, as was demonstrated by the model testing results, to preclude significant control over the release quality characteristics. However, the advective nature of the reservoir presents an advantage. Any changes to the quality of incoming water of Cordell Hull Reservoir will be propagated downstream, largely intact. (EDC).

Plankton Ecology
Author: Ulrich Sommer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642748902
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
All relevant ecological aspects of plankton, especially seasonal changes in the species composition, the role of competition for limiting resources in species replacements, the role of parasitism, predation and competition in seasonal succession are treated in detail considering phytoplankton, zooplankton and bacteroplankton. In addition to its use as a valid reference book for plankton ecology, this monograph may well be used as a model for other kinds of ecological communities.

A Numerical Investigation of Metabolic Reductive Dechlorination in DNAPL Source Zones
Author: John Anthony Christ
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 632
Book Description
Among the most intractable environmental remediation problems are those involving the release of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs), such as chlorinated solvents, to the subsurface. Research efforts have focused on the use of numerical models to investigate reductions in contaminant concentrations due to partial mass removal and improvements in the performance of complementary source zone remediation technologies. Previous numerical investigations, however, have been limited to two-dimensional systems. Furthermore, a lack of models capable of simulating the most promising complementary technology, metabolic reductive dechlorination, has limited its application. This work developed and applied compositional multiphase numerical simulators to examine the influence of dimensionality (two-dimensions versus three-dimensions) on DNAPL source zone simulations and to investigate the benefits of stimulating metabolic reductive dechlorination at a chlorinated ethene-DNAPL contaminated site. Results from the dimensionality investigation showed that the simulation of DNAPL migration, entrapment, and dissolution in two dimensions provided reasonable approximations to the behavior simulated in three dimensions. Commonly employed saturation distribution and mass recovery metrics were approximately equivalent. Flux- averaged concentrations simulated in two dimensions, however, tended to be three to four times higher than those simulated in three dimensions. This difference was attributed to dilution at the down gradient boundary. An alternative metric, mass flux reduction, however, yielded better agreement.
