The impacts of the water quality of the inflow water from tea fields on irrigation reservoir ecosystems

Abstract: Authors observed that the nitrate nitrogen (NO 3 -N) concentration is approximately 30 mg/L and that the average pH value is 4.3 in a small river in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Further, when there is heavy rain, the pH value of the river water decreases to below 3.5 at times. There is a small irrigation reservoir in the watershed. The reservoir receives this water and mixed with other river water, the pH in the reservoir reaches below 5.0 at times, making it impossible for fauna to survive there. This water is… Show more

“…To obtain good tea leaf yield and good quality tea, tea fields generally accept a large amount of nitrogen (N) fertilizer in Japan [2] and the N application rate has reached a range of 450-1000 kg·N·ha −1 ·year −1 [3][4][5]. The high amount of N application rate has led to a large N loss with nitrate (NO3 − ) leaching, as well as nitrogen dioxide (N2O) emission [6,7]. Akiyama et al [8] have reported that the N2O emission from tea fields in Japan was up to 2.82%±1.80% of input N, which is four times higher than that of upland fields, at 0.62%±0.48% of input N and nine times greater than paddy fields, at 0.31%±0.31%.…”

“…To minimize the concentration of nitrates in the effluents, various processes are under development for conversion of nitrate to nitrogen. Nitrate pollution is reported from paddy as well as tea cultivation where the nitrate leaching causes acidification of soil and increases the concentration of nitrate level in ground water . Nitrate mobility or leaching is responsible for contaminating water bodies.…”
