Research Abstract |
(1) Present condition of water temperature, water quality and aquatic life of Okawa, Tosaborigawa and Dojimagawa water system in Osaka city was clarified by field and literature surveys to determine the environmental carrying capacity of the water system. (2) The authors verified that two-dimensional stream tube model was available to predict water temperature and quality of natural river only where buoyant force caused by temperature difference is small. MIM and SIMPLE algorithms were useful to predict thermally polluted domain by thermal effluents from domestic heating and cooling plant. The high accuracy of SIMPLE computation code was verified by comparison between simulation results and measurement data of water temperature and DO near the junction of Okawa and Neya river. To determine the environmental carrying capacity of water system, it is important to predict three dimensional thermally polluted domain. (3) The authors determined the environmental carrying capacity of Okawa, Tosaborigawa and Dojimagawa water system in consideration of the damage to the local aquatic life. The degree of the damage to the aquatic life was classified to three categories.that is, the level of negligible damage, of slight damage and of severe damage to aquatic life. The available amount of river water as cooling water for domestic heating and cooling plant was discussed for each category.
