For several years, taste and smell problems of tap water occurred during the summer season in metropolitan cities of Korea. Taste and odor(T&O) compounds such as geosmin and 2-MIB, is produced by some species of cyanobacteria(blue-green algae) and can be detected by consumers at concentration as low as 5~10 ng/L. In this study, 2-D hydrodynamic and water quality model, CE-QUAL-W2, is applied to predicting the algal-derived T&O compounds occurrence. Model divided into five serial impoundment waterbodies in the North Han River - 3 reservoirs(Uiam, Cheongpyeong, Paldang) and 2 streams between the reservoirs, and simulation period was 2009~2011. Computing constituents were 14 items including diatom, cyanobacteria, other algae groups. The model results showed a good agreement with field measurements from upper reservoirs to Paldang reservoir and it can efficiently predict the occurrence of blue-green algae bloom. Blue-green algae was simulated growth rapidly especially sensitive to physical conditions such as water temperature and residence time, actual odor event and the simulation results were consistent. |
