Book Description
This study examined rates of internal phosphorus (P) loading from sediments in Lake Pepin, a natural impoundment located on the upper Mississippi River. Laboratory determinations of rates of P release from the sediment, measured using intact sediment core systems, were very high, with mean values ranging from 3.8 to 15 mg /sq m/day under oxic and anoxic conditions, respectively. Independently determined Fickean diffusional fluxes (mean of 4.9 mg /sq m/day), measured in situ under oxic conditions using sediment peepers, were not statistically different from those rates determined in the laboratory under similar temperature, pH, and oxygen conditions. The dominant inorganic P fractions in the sediments were NaOH-extractable P followed closely by HCl-extractable P. Under both oxic and anoxic conditions, significant correlations existed between rates of P release and the NHl4Cl- and NaOH extractable P fractions, suggesting that loosely bound and iron- and aluminum-bound sediment P contributed to P release from the sediments in this lake. Correlations between total sediment P and extractable sediment P fractions indicated that loosely bound and iron- and aluminum-bound P increased, while calcium-bound P decreased, with increasing total P content of the sediment. Results suggest that internal P loading from the sediments under oxic as well as anoxic conditions can play a very important role in the P economy of this system. jg p19.

Water Quality Modeling for Wasteload Allocations and TMDLs
Author: Wu-Seng LungPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780471158837
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Complete, practical coverage of pollution control regulations and water quality modeling Water Quality Modeling for Wasteload Allocations and TMDLs provides practical guidance for engineers charged with determining the volume and character of wastewater that a body of water can receive without suffering environmental damage. Following the discussion on water pollution control regulations and their relationships to water quality modeling and wasteload allocation for determining the total maximum daily load (TMDL), the first half of the book focuses on quantifying the model coefficients to characterize physical, chemical, and biological processes of a variety of water quality problems. The remainder of the book guides engineers in the application of EPA-developed models for regulatory use. Presenting numerous case studies and a substantial amount of data, this comprehensive guide: * Covers practical applications of wasteload allocation * Provides guidance to develop technical information for obtaining National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits * Demonstrates the application of STREAM, QUAL2E, WASP, and HAR03 Water Quality Modeling for Wasteload Allocations and TMDLs is an essential resource for state and federal water quality agencies, consulting engineering firms, publicly owned treatment works, environmental biologists and chemists, and public health officials involved with pollution control.

Book Description
A derivative of the Encyclopedia of Inland Waters, Lake Ecosystem Ecology examines the workings of the lake and reservoir ecosystems of our planet. Information and perspectives crucial to the understanding and management of current environmental problems are covered, such as eutrophication, acid rain and climate change. Because the articles are drawn from an encyclopedia, the articles are easily accessible to interested members of the public, such as conservationists and environmental decision makers. - Includes an up-to-date summary of global aquatic ecosystems and issues - Covers current environmental problems and management solutions - Features full-color figures and tables to support the text and aid in understanding
