Sediment and Its Interaction with Water

  • Conference paper
Modeling and Managing Shallow Lake Eutrophication

Abstract

Lakes act as the dustbins of their watersheds. Major fractions of materials washed out of the soil or discharged to the rivers feeding a lake accumulate in the sediments, including undesirable substances, such as insecticides used in agriculture, lead from gasoline and washed off the streets, and nutrients discharged in agricultural, domestic, and industrial wastewater. Together with natural substances, such as organic decay products, silt, clay, sand, and salts, these substances form a complex mixture that settles on the lake bottom. During their transport in the watershed and residence in the lake and its sediment many physical, chemical, and biological transformations may change the amount and physicochemical nature of these compounds over varying time scales. Hence the lake sediments reflect the history of the watershed and the natural and cultural events over long periods of time.
