Water Quality: Management, Sanitation and Investigation
Water Quality Restauration
Elimination of
nutrients by using pre dams and
dams in the upper flow of drinking water
reservoirs
The option of
removing the algae biomass is opened by operating pre damswhich guarantee a
sufficient period of stay. Pre dams are used in the overflow so that the
phytoplankton sediment. The sediment in the pre damthen has to be cleaned out
at regular intervals.
If several reservoirs are operated in a
cascade, there is the option of managing the connected reservoirs - with the
exception of the last reservoir - in such a way that material decomposition
processes are encouraged (fish stocking. circulation of shallow reservoirs). The
objective of this encouragement is the intensification of phytoplankton growth.
Microfiltration can be used to separate the nutrients transferred as dissolved
particles in the discharge of the installation so that the discharge itself
then has lower nutrients.
