Abstract

Eutrophication has become a major environmental water issue in many parts of the world. Emission of excessive nutrient loads generated from point and non-point pollution sources into water bodies such as lakes, reservoirs and rivers leads to high phytoplankton biomass growth. An overabundance of algal biomass causes water quality problems, like variation in the diurnal oxygen level, oxygen depletion in deep water, unpleasant tastes and odors in the water supply, clogging of filters in water treatment plants, and adverse effects on water-contact sports and recreation. With the rapid development of agriculture and industry, eutrophication has recently been observed in a variety of water bodies in China, including Chaohu Lake (Yin and Hang, 2003), Dianchi Lake (Sun and Guo, 2002), Taihu Lake (Liu and Chen, 2006) and the Miyun Reservoir (Li et al., 2007).
