| Abstract: |
| Lake Taihu is an important source of local drinking water. Release of phosphorus from the sediments has a significant impact on water quality. A Y-shape apparatus was adopted to examine the effects of resuspension-sedimentation process on phosphorus release from the sediments in Jinshu water source in Lake Taihu. Under the wind speed of 5.1 m·s-1, obvious spatial heterogeneity of total phosphorus（ＴＰ） and orthophosphate（PO3-4-P） was observed in the overlying water, and TP concentration was positively correlated with suspended solids concentration（ＳＳ）. The vertical distribution of TP in water showed higher concentrations at closer to water-sediment interface, whereas no obvious vertical difference was observed in PO3-4-P. More TP was released under wind speed of 8.7 m·s-1. These results suggested that reducing wind speed and dissipating wave might improve water quality in Lake Taihu. |
