Abstract:
Typical pollutants in Chaohu Lake are nutritious salts and cause extreme algae growth.The water quality in the lake has been in a heavy eutrophication state.According to the monitoring results over the past 10 years,51% of total N came from point sources and 49% from non-point sources.60% of total P was from point sources and 40% from non-point sources.The spatial distribution of COD,total N and total P concentrations within the lake and the remediation measures were also studied and discussed.
