Effects of hypolimnetic water aeration and iron-phosphate precipitation on the trophic level of Lake Krupunder

  • Chapter
Nutrient Dynamics and Biological Structure in Shallow Freshwater and Brackish Lakes

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 94))

Abstract

Lake Krupunder is a small, glacial, stratified lake. Before restoration it was classified as eutrophic to polytrophic. Stepwise the lake was restored to a mesotrophic status: 1. In April 1990 a deep water aeration plant was installed. Although the entire hypolimnion was sufficiently supplied with oxygen the trophic level remained high because of substochiometric natural iron concentrations. 2. In September 1991 a technical iron-phosphate precipitation was carried out, dispensing 1.8 t of iron-chloride-sulfate (‘Ferri floc’) into the hypolimnion using the aerator. Until July 1992 the chlorophyll-a concentration decreased by 90%/77% (maximum/mean value).
