Assessing the Eutrophication of Shengzhong Reservoir Based on Grey Clustering Method

Reservoir water environment is a grey system. The grey clustering method is applied to assessing the reservoir water enviromnent to establish a relatively complete model suitable for the reservoir eutrophication evaluation and appropriately evaluate the quality of reservoir water, providing evidence for reservoir management. According to China＇s lakes and reservoir eutrophication criteria and the characteristics of China＇s eutrophication, as well as certain evaluation indices, the degree of eutrophication is classified into six categories with the utilization of grey classified whitening weight function to represent the boundaries of classification, to determine the clustering weight and clustering coefficient of each index in grey classifications, and the classification of each clustering object. The comprehensive evaluation of reservoir eutrophication is established on such a foundation, with Sichuan Shengzhong Reservoir as the survey object and the analysis of the data attained by several typical monitoring points there in 2006. It is found that eutrophication of Tiebian Power Generation Station, Guoyuanchang and Dashiqiao Bridge is the heaviest, Tielusi and Qinggangya the second, and Lijiaba the least. The eutrophication of this reservoir is closely relevant to the irrational exploitation in its surrounding areas, especially to the aggravation of the non-point source pollution and the increase of net-culture fishing. Therefore, it is feasible to use grey clustering in environment quality evaluation, and the point lies in the correct division of grey whitening function

Prevention of Reservoir Water Bloom by Bio-manipulation

Siminghu Reservoir already transformed into ＂ the algae muddy＂ type,and had nonclassical bio-manipulation practice using Hypophthalmichthys molitix and Aristichthys nobilis to feed the plankton,control water bloom and transform the organic matters into fish product. Through the analysis of the limited data,we think that water bloom of Siminghu Reservoir can be prevented to some extent by breeding H. molitix and A. nobilis,and it can slow down eutrophication of reservoir but cannot control the eutrophication tendency. We must take a variety of comprehensive management measures to control eutrophication from the angle of basin control,and guarantee safety of drinking water resources.

Efficiency of active barriers attaching biofilm as sediment capping to eliminate the internal nitrogen in eutrophic lake and canal

Three active barrier materials （zeolite, ceramicite and light porous media） were applied for preventing nitrogen （N） release from eutrophic lake sediments. Long term experiment of two different lake sediments were carded out and the effect of zeolite dose was evaluated. The results indicated that about 90%-100% of total N in overlying water was eliminated by using zeolite. While the N removal efficiency by ceramic was lower than that by zeolite, and light porous media present the lowest efficiency of 59%. Long term sediment incubation experiments indicated that two eutrophic sediments were both effective in preventing N release in spite of different release characteristics. Bio-zeolite capping technology was able to effectively inhibit the release of N from the sediment, and the zeolite dose was independently from N removal.
