A preliminary modeling analysis of water quality in Lake Okeechobee, Florida: Diagnostic and sensitivity analyses

A deterministic mass balance model for nutrient and phytoplankton dynamics was previously developed and calibrated to a comprehensive set of field data for Lake Okeechobee. In the present study, diagnostic and sensitivity analyses were conducted with the calibrated model to better understand factors controlling phytoplankton and load-response dynamics in the lake. Phytoplankton growth rate limitation due to underwater light attenuation appears to be substantially greater than growth rate limitation due to non-optimal phosphorus concentrations. Phytoplankton biomass appears strongly controlled by the supply rate of dissolved available phosphorus to the water column. The dynamics of total phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentrations in the lake are strongly influenced by sediment-water phosphorus fluxes. There is a wide range of uncertainty in responses of total phosphorus and cholorophyll a concentrations to changes in tributary phosphorus loadings. Much of this uncertainty is due to a lack of quantitative understanding of sediment responses to changes in tributary loadings. Other important factors are inter-annual variability in hydrometeorological conditions and the potential influence of wind-induced resuspension of particulate phosphorus. Responses of total phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentrations for a given change in tributary loading depend not only on the magnitide of the loading change, but also on the time frame after the loading change due to a lag in sediment response. Load-response predictions for Lake Okeechobee must take into account changes in available phosphorus loadings to the water column, and must be premised on assumptions for changes in internal phosphorus loadings from the sediments. Results from this preliminary modeling analysis are provisional in that they do not include potential nitrogen limitation, potential interactions between phosphorus and nitrogen, or phytoplankton responses to potential nitrogen fixation.     

三峡电站日调度驱动的支流振荡对支流水温垂向结构的影响

三峡电站日调度驱动的重力波对其支流动力过程造成显著影响,其中的高频水流波动会显著影响支流库湾的物质、能量等垂向扩散和输运过程,进而影响水华暴发等环境问题。基于三峡水库香溪河支流2021年蓄水期末的水动力及水温垂向结构监测数据,分析了三峡电站日调度驱动的支流库湾高频振荡对水温结构的影响。研究发现,三峡出库流量日波动驱动支流水位也呈日波动和高频波动特征,其中水位日波动振幅约0.3~0.5 m,高频水位波幅约0.04 m。库湾底层水温高频波动比中上层更加明显,与香溪河库湾水深从河口向上游逐渐变浅有关系。支流近底水温波动功率谱分析显示,香溪河湍流耗散速率(6.5×10^-7 W/kg)明显高出一般水库的近底耗散率,表明水库调度驱动的水体高频波动导致较强的湍流发育和耗散。     

三峡库区支流库湾水体富营养化演变特征研究

支流库湾水体富营养化是三峡水库蓄水带来的主要水环境影响特征之一。根据对不同历史蓄水期间三峡库区各支流库湾的水质变化特征及富营养化状态分析表明:三峡水库从试验性蓄水阶段进入常态调度运行后,支流库湾的水动力条件被进一步削弱,入河污染物扩散能力大幅度降低,库湾水质逐渐变差,各支流库湾普遍表现为中、富营养级水平,年内整体表现为春季高于秋季。从三峡库区支流库湾水体富营养化演变特征来看,库湾水动力条件由河流态改变为湖库态是其发生水体富营养化的主驱动力因素,陆域营养盐输入是库湾水体富营养化演变的物质基础     

水库潮汐式调度对支流水动力影响研究——以三峡库区支流小江为例

三峡水库蓄水运行后,库区支流在春夏季时有水华暴发,对水质造成了一定影响。大量研究表明,通过水库调度改变库区支流水动力条件,抑制水华发生是可行的。采用Delft3D模型对三峡库区支流小江渠马-双江大桥段进行模拟研究,以探明潮汐式调度对库区支流水动力的影响,为抑制库区支流水华发生进行生态调度提供理论支撑。研究结果表明：三峡水库开展潮汐式调度对小江的水流具有扰动作用,整体趋势表现为水位抬升期回水区中、下游段流速值均有所减小,水位下降时流速值有所增加,基本与河口水位变化的步调保持一致;调度期水位变幅越大,流速的扰动越大;水位抬升期表现为流速减小幅度随调度水位变幅的增加而增加,水位下降期表现为流速增加幅度随调度水位变幅的增加而增加。
