Microsystem sediment-water simulation: a practical technique for predicting reservoir water quality
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6975913
Water quality at the bottom of a lake or reservoir may be conveniently simulated in a controlled laboratory environment using the technique of microsystem sediment-water simulation. The technique provides predictive data on planned or existing reservoirs and lakes by duplicating conditions expected at the sediment-water interface including anaerobic (chemically reducing) conditions which may occur in the hypolimnion during summer and winter stratification. Using many small sediment-water 'microsystems' allows for replication and the estimation of experimental error, as well as application of a variety of analytical chemical techniques for characterizing the simulation water.
