Daecheong reservoir and Chungju reservoir are large artificial lake that capacity 14.9 billion ton and 27.5 billion ton respectively, important drinking water resources supplying water to the capital and central region of South Korea. Several artificial lakes in Korea, algal-bloom frequently occur impact of climate change, pollution increase according to urbanization and industrialization. Blue-green algal bloom have been reported in Daecheong reservoir more than 30 days every year. On the contrary, Chungju reservoir which nutrient concentrations are relatively similar doesn’t have algae problems, comparative study are needed on the occurrence mechanism of algal bloom between the two reservoirs. A three-dimensional, coupled hydrodynamic and ecological model, ELCOM-CAEDYM, was applied to the two reservoirs in order to analyze the cause of algal-bloom by comparing the spatial characteristics of algae occurrence. Simulation result shows that for the period of june to october 2007 in Daecheong and july to august 2008 in Chungju, each reservoir has the similarities and differences in the spatial algae appearance. Both the two reservoirs algal-bloom started in the highly contaminated river tributaries, So-ok stream in Deacheong reservoir, Je-cheon stream in Chungju reservoir. In Daecheong reservoir, blue-green algal bloom which started from So-ok stream have spread to the mainstream through Hoenam near front of dam after the rainfall occur. However, in Chungju reservoir has a relatively small algae occurrence, because of the high concentration of algae from the Je-chon stream did not spread to the mainstream. The result shows that the cause and spatial difference of algal bloom closely related to hydraulic characteristics of the two reservoirs. |
