PREDICTION OF CHLOROPHYLL A CONCENTRATIONS IN FLORIDA LAKES: THE IMPORTANCE OF PHOSPHORUS AND NITROGEN1

ABSTRACT: Models for the prediction of chlorophyll a concentrations were developed and tested using data on 223 Florida lakes. A statistical analysis showed that the best model was log (Chl a) =?2.49 + 0.269 log (TP) + 1.06 log (TN) or log (Chl a) =?2.49 + 1.06 log (TN/TP) + 1.33 log (TP) where Chl a is the chlorophyll a concentration (mg m^-3), TP is the total phosphorus concentration (mg m^-3) and TN is the total nitrogen concentration (mg m^-3). The model yields unbiased estimates of chlorophyll a concentrations over a wide range of lake types and has a 95 percent confidence interval of 29–319 percent of the calculated chlorophyll a concentrations. Other models, especially the published Dillon-Rigler and Jones-Bachmann phosphorus-chlorophyll models, are less precise when applied to Florida lakes. The data support the hypothesis that nitrogen is an important limiting nutrient in hypereutrophic lakes.     

EVALUATION OF CURRENT TECHNIQUES FOR NUTRIENT REMOVAL FROM WASTEWATERS1

ABSTRACT. A comprehensive evaluation of current techniques for nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus, removal from wastewaters was conducted by the author under a research project supported by the Office of Water Resources Research, Department of the Interior. The object of this study was to compile and evaluate, under one cover, the available information on current techniques for removing nutrients from wastewaters with emphasis on type of treatment (physical, chemical, biological, or any combination); economics (capital and operating costs); efficiencies, and applications. Due to space limitations, only a brief summary of this work is presented in this paper. A copy of the completion report may be obtained from the author.

AN ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE LAND DEVELOPMENT AROUND LAKES1

ABSTRACT: The objective of the study was to evaluate alternative land developments around New Hampshire lakes. Alternative development patterns, evaluated by their impacts on the lake area environment and area economy, included residential patterns, commercial patterns, and combinations of these two types. Phosphorus loading of the lake water was used as a proxy variable for changes in the lake water quality. Commercial developments yielded the highest revenues to the town and the local area. It also attracted the most lake users to the area as well as contributing the largest phosphorus loading in the lake waters. Residential developments, although contributing high revenues to the businessmen in the area, yielded less net income to the town. Phosphorus loading levels from residential developments were much lower than lake phosphorus loading by commercial developments.     

大气氮磷沉降量分析——以杭州北里湖为例

为更好地了解大气氮磷沉降量的影响因素及其对水环境的影响,采用自制采样器,对杭州北里湖2011年4月-2012年2月大气氮、磷的总、湿沉降进行采集,并通过对干、湿沉降量的计算,探讨了大气干、湿沉降中TN、TP、NH4+-N和NO3--N的变化趋势.结果表明,因秋季利于沉降而不利于扩散,夏季降水多,各物质的干沉降量表现出秋季高、夏季低的特点,湿沉降量则夏季较高.TN干沉降以NH4+-N为主,其干沉降量与气温、气压及降水量有关,而NO3--N干沉降量与风速有关;大气湿沉降量除NO3--N外,TN、TP和NH4+-N与降水量均呈现出较强的相关性,相关系数分别为0.882、0.700和0.827.在研究期间,TN、NH4+-N和NO3--N以湿沉降为主,TP以干沉降为主;北里湖大气总沉降的入湖TN量为4 503.74kg/km2,TP为100.14 kg./km2,入湖的TN/TP比值高达45,远超出正常水平,这对北里湖水体的富营养化产生了严重影响.     

基于水质与浮游生物调查的汉石桥湿地富营养化评价

基于水质与浮游生物的综合调查与评价,可准确判断湿地的富营养化状况.本文以汉石桥湿地为研究对象,设置7个采样点,开展了水质、浮游植物、浮游动物分类监测与调查,并利用营养状态指数法、浮游植物评价法和浮游动物评价法3种方法,评价了水体富营养化状态,比较了各种方法的结果差异.结果表明,3种评价方法的评价结果在时空变化上具有较高的一致性,均显示非核心区富营养化程度较低,核心区富营养化水平较高;各月份相比,10月湿地的富营养化程度较低,6—8月富营养化程度较高.浮游植物和浮游动物评价法所得湿地富营养化程度较营养状态指数法略高,主要表现在4、10月的非核心区评价中.综合水质、浮游植物与浮游动物进行富营养化评价,可得到更为准确的评价结果.     

暴雨径流对非常规水源补给城市河流水质冲击研究

选择北运河流域典型非常规水源补给城市河流(凉水河)为研究对象,阐述暴雨径流对非常规水源补给城市河流水体物理化学特征的影响.结果表明,非暴雨期间,凉水河水体p H和DO平均值分别为7.67和3.88 mg·L-1;耗氧物质COD和氨氮(NH+4-N)平均质量浓度分别为47.41 mg·L-1和8.39 mg·L-1;富营养化元素总氮(TN)和总磷(TP)平均质量浓度分别为16.34 mg·L-1和1.45 mg·L-1.暴雨期间,雨水径流汇入收纳水体后,COD、NH+4-N、TP平均质量浓度明显上升,最高值分别达到108、14.24、3.02 mg·L-1.在空间分布上,COD、NH+4-N、TN和TP质量浓度变化趋势随土地利用类型变化特征趋于一致,从城镇区至农村区,均呈逐渐上升趋势.     

寒区水体中溶藻铜绿假单胞菌的分离和性质研究

我国北方,尤其是东北地区的一些水体由于富营养化导致的水华现象呈增加趋势,成为急需解决的水环境问题.溶藻菌可从生态调控的角度来控制水华的爆发,因此,在富营养化水体治理方面逐渐得到重视.本文从寒区水华爆发水体中分离获得了一株溶藻细菌JM1,系统发育分析表明,菌株JM1与铜绿假单胞菌的同源性最高.VITEK系统鉴定表明,菌株JM1与铜绿假单胞菌的相似度为98%.菌株JM1在不同的碳源和氮源培养基中可产生不同颜色和p H值的代谢产物,而以葡萄糖和蛋白胨分别为碳源和氮源时发酵液的溶藻效果明显好于其它培养基.菌株JM1的溶藻效果随藻细胞初始密度的降低而增强,随发酵液添加量的增加而增加;当菌体细胞的密度达到1011CFU·m L-1时,可单一抑制藻细胞的生长;当菌体细胞的密度大于105CFU·m L-1时,菌体细胞可促进发酵液的溶藻作用.发酵液作用于藻细胞6 h时可明显影响其恢复能力,当暴露时间达18 h时,藻细胞彻底丧失了恢复能力.菌株JM1发酵液在中性和偏碱性的藻液中的溶藻效果最强,并且经过酸化、碱化和高温处理后,仍然保持较高的溶藻活性.本研究可为基于微生物作用过程的水华控制提供优势的土著菌种及其应用上的技术支持.

以海河流域2009年地表水水质现状数据为基础,分别运用河流水体富营养化潜势和浮游植物表征河流富营养化水平.结果显示,流域河流水体中富营养盐含量相对较高,河流水体中TN、NH3-N平均含量分别为8.13、4.34 mg·L-1,分别超过《地表水环境质量标准》(GB3838—2002)Ⅴ类限值(2 mg·L-1)4倍、2倍以上.北三河水系(北运河、潮白河、蓟运河)、子牙河水系和海河干流中TN浓度超过9 mg·L-1;海河流域河流水体中TP平均含量为0.87 mg·L-1,超过地表水Ⅴ类限值(0.4 mg·L-1)2倍以上.北三河水系、子牙河水系和黑龙港运东水系水中TP平均含量均超过1.0 mg·L-1.主要河流3%处于中或贫营养,44%处于极富营养化水平,主要分布在北三河水系、子牙河水系和漳卫河水系,表明流域河流总体呈现富营养化状态,平原段河流富营养化严重.河流治理要兼顾耗氧污染控制和营养盐控制,以改善河流水质.     

ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC DAMAGE CAUSED BY SEDIMENT FROM AGRICULTURAL NONPOINT SOURCES1

Environmental and economic damages caused by agricultural nonpoint source inputs of sediment and associated pollutants are examined. Widespread water quality problems are identified in lakes, rivers, and estuaries in agricultural areas, and billions of dollars of on-site and offsite costs result from this eroded soil every year. Some water bodies have been irretrievably damaged, and expensive rehabilitation programs are needed to remedy in-place water pollution problems if Clean Water Act goals are to be achieved. Unless effective abatement and rehabilitation programs are established, billions of dollars of benefits to future generations will not be realized as more waters become irretrievably damaged, and billions more will continue to be spent by government to treat symptoms of these sediment-related problems.
