Abstract

Annual variations in concentrations of Fe forms in the bottom water (0–70 cm from the bottom, by layers), pore water, and in solid phase of silts (25 cm, by layers) of the Krasnovidovo Pool channel area of the Mozhaisk Reservoir are studied. A drastic increase in the concentration and ratio of Fesusp/Fedis in the water layer 0–20 cm from the bottom is detected. Fe(II) dominates in dissolved and suspended forms. The concentrations of Fe(III) reaching 2–3 mg/l were for the fist time revealed in the pore water of silts (Eh ∼ −120 mV). The factors responsible for this phenomenon are discussed. Fe flux from sediments is tentatively assessed as 0.2–0.6 mg Fe m2/day.
