This investigation targeted the largest morphologically complex reservoir (Soyang) in South Korea during 1992–2013. It is a prominent source of domestic water supply, irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation. Therefore, this investigation focused on regional- to global-scale applications. We revealed the empirical links between chlorophyll (Chl-a) and total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP), the impact of the monsoon regime on nutrients, and flood and drought regime. Further, we investigated the trophic status dynamics, tendencies of water chemistry factors, and valuation of zonal water chemistry by the application of a modified multimetric water pollution index (WPI). The physicochemical indicators illustrated significant disparities among the Lacustrine (Lz), Transition (Tz), and Riverine (Rz) zones. The solid contents (TSS) displayed a significant increase in the lake zones in the order of Lz (4.58 ± 13.7 mg/L), Tz (6.16 ± 16.2 mg/L), and Rz (7.38 ± 18.9 mg/L). However, TP and allied chemical species revealed an inverse relationship with the TN:TP ambient ratios. Nevertheless, Chl-a displayed sharp interzonal fluctuations from the Lz (2.90 ± 3.29 µg/L) to Tz (4.61 ± 4.98 µg/L). The seasonal deviations, however, exposed divergent heterogeneities among the TSS, TN, TP, and Chl-a. The regression plot between the observed and predicted Chl-a in the Soyang reservoir displayed a very strong relationship (R2 = 0.997). The seasonal and interannual variations of trophic status displayed a higher impact of precipitation, particularly in the case of TP and Chl-a. The flood years indicated phosphorus limitations, while drought years alluded to the non-algal light limitations (biogenic turbidity). Water temperature (WT), dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), TSS, TP, and Chl-a displayed decreasing trends in the ambient water. In contrast, pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), electrical conductivity (EC), and TN displayed increasing tendencies by the application Mann–Kendall trend analysis. The WPI outcomes designated Lz with excellent water quality while Tz an Rz indicated good water quality. It also indicated impending sedimentation tendencies in the Rz. In conclusion, our findings indicated fluctuating rainfall patterns (drought and flood conditions) that significantly impacted the Soyang reservoir water quality, flood and drought severity, and trophic status of the reservoir. This study highlights the requirements of further studies to substantiate the drought and flood dynamics and their impacts on nutrients and overall water quality status.

“…The concentrations of TP and TN were higher in Rz and Tz than in Lz, IT1, and IT2 due to the external loads from the tributary streams and watersheds. Reservoir studies have shown that increased external loads of TP and TN are responsible for the higher algal production and decreased water clarity [24,43,44]. Our present study indicated that the higher algal growth and lower SD was observed in Rz.…”

The main objectives of the study were to determine the trophic response of the temperate reservoir to seasonal and interannual variabilities of monsoon inorganic solids and nutrients along the gradients of the morphologically complex Asian reservoir using long-term datasets between 2000–2018. Nutrient regime (total nitrogen—TN, total phosphorus—TP), total suspended solids (TSS), and chlorophyll-a (CHL-a) were primarily affected by an intensity of summer monsoon and the longitudinal structure of riverine (Rz), transitional (Tz), and lacustrine (Lz) zone. The reservoir is a nitrogen-rich system and the phosphorus content of the water was relatively low, and it had low mean N:P ratios (<40), implying a P-limiting system. The Lz was a highly P-limited zone in comparison to Rz and Tz zone during both drought (2015) and flood year (2011). The TP content was higher in the mainstem (S3) than the embankment (S4 and S6) of the reservoir due to the monsoon river inputs of the nutrients. Nonparametric Mann–Kendall tests indicated that TP decreased over the long-term years in the Rz, while it did not show any trend in Tz, Lz, IT1, and IT2. TN showed an increasing trend in Rz, Tz, Lz, and IT2 except for IT1. The empirical regression model for chlorophyll nutrients showed that CHL-a had a strong positive relationship with TP (R2 = 0.67, p < 0.01) than TN (R2 = 0.06, p < 0.01), supporting the view that algal growth in lentic systems responds to TP enrichment and TP may provide a reliable basis for predicting algal biomass. The seasonality of CHL-a and TP showed a monomodal pattern and indicates that summer TP influences summer algal growth in Tz, Lz, and IT2. The water clarity (SD) of the reservoir was significantly (p < 0.01) influenced by TP (R2 = 0.62), TSS (R2 = 0.67), and CHL-a (R2 = 0.68) rather than TN (R2 = 0.10). The non-algal light attenuation coefficient (Kna) was determined mainly by suspended solids and the monsoon hydrology. The trophic state was much higher when assessments were based on TSI (CHL-a) than on TSI (TP) and TSI (SD). TSI (CHL-a) indicated the eutrophic state of the reservoirs except for the zone of Lz during the premonsoon season. Analysis of trophic state index deviation (TSID) suggested that the blue-green algae dominated the algal community, and the effects of non-algal turbidity and zooplankton grazing were minor in the reservoir.

Probabilistic prediction of cyanobacteria abundance in a Korean reservoir using a Bayesian Poisson model

There have been increasing reports of harmful algal blooms (HABs) worldwide. However, the factors that influence cyanobacteria dominance and HAB formation can be site-specific and idiosyncratic, making prediction challenging. The drivers of cyanobacteria blooms in Lake Paldang, South Korea, the summer climate of which is strongly affected by the East Asian monsoon, may differ from those in wellstudied North American lakes. Using the observational data sampled during the growing season in 2007-2011, a Bayesian hurdle Poisson model was developed to predict cyanobacteria abundance in the lake. The model allowed cyanobacteria absence (zero count) and nonzero cyanobacteria counts to be modeled as functions of different environmental factors. The model predictions demonstrated that the principal factor that determines the success of cyanobacteria was temperature. Combined with high temperature, increased residence time indicated by low outflow rates appeared to increase the probability of cyanobacteria occurrence. A stable water column, represented by low suspended solids, and high temperature were the requirements for high abundance of cyanobacteria. Our model results had management implications; the model can be used to forecast cyanobacteria watch or alert levels probabilistically and develop mitigation strategies of cyanobacteria blooms.
