In this paper, we analyze the distribution of a non-reactive contaminant in Ypacarai Lake. We propose shallow-water model that considers wind-induced currents, inflow and outflow conditions tributaries, bottom effects due to lakebed. The hydrodynamic is based on depth-averaged Navier-Stokes equations considering wind stresses as force terms which are functions velocity. Bed (bottom) stress Manning's equation, lakebed characteristics, velocities. transportation modeled by 2D convection-diffusion equation taking into consideration water level. Comparisons between simulation model, analytical solutions, laboratory results confirm captures complex dynamic phenomenology lake. simulations, one can see regions with highest risk accumulation contaminants.

This approach allowed identify propagation pathway riverine suspended sediments, map erosion-accumulation zones calculate budget over 13-year-long simulation. Sampled concentration are important for understanding characteristics show that organic matter plays crucial role on coastal system. numerical experiments carried out gave satisfactory results possibility get holistic view applied model with new formula settling velocity used estimate patterns sediments seasonal spatial distribution whole river–lagoon–sea also sensitivity system strong wind events presence ice. reveal during extreme storm events, more than 11.4 × 106 kg washed Scenarios without ice cover indicate would have much higher concentrations winter season comparing present situation an long-term (13 years) simulation demonstrate average, 62% trapped inside lagoon, marked spatially varying accumulation zones.

Algal blooms (ABs), often exacerbated by excess nutrients from anthropogenic activities, can pose serious risks to public health, fisheries, and ecosystem structure functions. Lake Okeechobee is located in southcentral Florida (USA), with a surface area of 1730 km2, it the largest subtropical lake United States. This shallow, nutrient-rich, subject frequent intense cyanobacteria, some which are toxic. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) model was developed, coupling long-term monitoring data complex physical, chemical, ecological processes at fine spatial (15–1000 m horizontal mesh size) temporal (1 h) resolution. We used understand influence environmental factors nutrient management on ABs dynamics Okeechobee.

Stormwater ponds, including dry wet ponds and constructed wetlands, have been widely used for sediment removal from stormwater runoff. In this paper, mechanisms, modelling approaches optimization of design are reviewed discussed. The settling velocity discrete particles is introduced compared. Settling distribution should be characterized individual sites the most cost-effective new ponds. Different methods estimating trap efficiency then summarized, empirical models theoretical models. transport method also Optimization pond improved described, with many key factors taken into account such as residence time, vegetation, wind, turbulence, stratification, inflow outflow. A high system hydraulic can achieved through proper shape pond, length-to-width ratio, baffling, depth, location inlets, outlets vegetation.

Abstract Although surface waterbodies are water sources for socio‐economic activities and ecosystems, their functions threatened by sedimentation. Sedimentation of lakes reservoirs can result in a loss storage capacity altered quality. The present study assessed the sedimentation status Lake Naivasha, Kenya, based on sediment distribution accumulation over past 50 years, using Bathymetric Survey System (BSS). BSS uses multi‐frequency Acoustic Profiling (APS) to map recently deposited sediments. Sediment core samples were collected with vibe‐ coring device dated. layers corresponding period 20 years identified. cores acoustic images subsequently used determine thickness within lake. depth data from APS, dated processed DepthPic Surfer software. was extracted DepthPic, while volume generated results indicated that varied one part lake another years. High observed south‐west eastern parts Between 1996–2016 1966–2016 periods, maximum accumulated found be about 0.55 1.9 m, an average 0.25 0.56 respectively. mean load 1966–1996 periods 2.78 × 10 5 4.61 t/year, It into Naivasha has been increasing recent past.
