Daecheong Reservoir (DCR) is a typical large man-made lake, located in the middle reach of the Geum River, and it is also one of the largest impounded reservoir systems in Korea. DCR currently faces the dual challenge of successfully performing the necessary tasks (flood control, hydropower generation, and water supply), while at the same time minimizing the negative water quality impacts such as the cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (CyanoHABs) (Shin, 2016). Although the reservoir mainriver currently maintains the oligo-mesotrophic level, algal bloom events occur episodically in the tributary embayments. Among them is the representative So-okcheon Bay (SOB) located not far upstream to DCR. The study is the first step towards developing effective algal bloom management strategies for DCR and SOB. We aim to examine the longitudinal hydrodynamic characteristics of reservoir tributary embayment, and analyze the effect on CyanoHABs. |
