Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focused on the aquatic environment restoration technique with the water surface cooling and cool water mass downwelling process in an organically polluted closed water body. Firstly, water quality experiments in water tank scale showed that algae growth was suppressed due to limited photosynthesis caused by low water temperature and that poor oxygenation was inhibited at the bottom of water due to the destruction of the thermal stratification even under the condition of high nutrients. Secondly, the effectiveness of this technique at the actual waterbody level was estimated by scenario analyses using the vertical one-dimensional diffusion model of water quality dynamics that considered the effects of the convection of water surface cooling, resulting in the suppressing effect on the volume of algae propagation at the water surface and the swift elimination of anoxia at the bottom of water. These findings showed the effectiveness of the artificial water surface cooling.
