Abstract

Based on the water quality problems in three typical Chinese reservoirs, this chapter introduces the functions of water-lifting aerator (WLA) technology used in these reservoirs for water quality improvement and its engineering solutions. The main contents include: the composition of WLA systems, the layout and installation of WLAs and the compression pipeline, operation conditions, and parameters of WLA systems, and the improvement of WLA systems in order to solve the problems that occur during the operation period.
