Question
5. (Phosphorus cycle,
.Julana Lake has a surface area of 4.1 x 106 m². The
2.02 m³ s¹ and a phosphorus concentration of 0.023 mg L. A wastewater
average depth of the lake is 15 m. The lake is fed by a stream having a flow rate of
treatment plant discharge into the lake at a rate of 0.2 m³ s¹ and a phosphorus
concentration of 1.1 mg L-1. Runoff from the homes along the bank of the lake
adds phosphorus at an average rate of 1.35 g s¹. The settling rate of phosphorus
from the lake averages 0.94 year¹. The river flows from the lake at a flow rate of
2.42 m³ s¹. Assume evaporation and precipitation to negate each other.
5.1.
What is the concentration of phosphorus in the river flowing from the lake?
From the Table below, determine the trophic category of the lake.
5.2.
Table 1. Total phosphorus, chlorophyll a and Secchi Disk depth boundary values for
determining a lake's trophic state (Vollenweider and Kerekes 1982).
