Enrichment of a water body by the input of organic material, nitrates and phosphates.
This may happen naturally but is often a from of pollution.
Eutrophication leads to an increase in the growth of aquatic plants and often to algal blooms.
The algal growth produce toxins which kill fishes, or cause deoxygenation of the water In extreme causes this results in the death of most of the aquatic animals and higher plants.
In this paper, the field survey was carried out to study in the Shin Hung reservoir once a month in the period of three months from March till May, 1990 the results could be summarized as follows.
1. The Shin Hung reservoir influent water was very polluted, during the survey period
The average water temperature is 15.3℃
The average pH is 7.41
The average DO is 8.96㎎/l
The average transparency is 1.31m
The average T-P is 0.139㎎/l
The average T-N is 4.41㎎/l
The average Chl-a is 14.4㎎/㎥
2. A simulation of the eutrophication of Shin Hung reservoir based on total phosphate load by carlson trophic state index in 1990; TSI(Chl)54.28, TSI(Sec) 50.46, TSI(T-P) 70.15, in 1995: TSI(Chl) 55.86, TSI(Sec) 51.71 TSI(T-P) 72.43
3. Preventing the eutrophication by aluminum sulfate and hypolimnetic aeration were reasonable method to restore the entrophic state of Shin Hung reservoir.
