SINOTROPIA WP5: Nutrient management plan for Yuqiao reservoir

In charge: TAES (Dr. Lu) in cooperation with Dr. Orderud (NIBR), IUES-CASS (Dr. Li) and local county officials.

  • Apply the Circular Economy approach with nutrient at its cores, taking into account fluxes and reservoirs of their hydro-biogeochemical cycle.

 

  • Consideration synergistic and/or antagonistic effect on greenhouse gas sequestration of abatement action for reducing eutrophication.

 

  • Develop a suitable nutrient management plan for Yuqiao Reservoir including a conceptual model for pre-warning of algal blooms and technical guidelines for health risk assessment and pollution control for MC in Yuqiao Reservoir .

 

  • Suggest adaptive measures to reduce the negative effects of climate change

 

  • A technical guideline of health risk assessment and pollution control for microcystins (MC) will be developed by physico-chemical and biochemical methods

 

  • Improve public awareness for nutrient pollution by means of a citizen training brochure for “What you can do to prevent nutrient pollution” to inform individuals/organizations about causes of and actions against eutrophication locally. This will be complemented by education and training courses for preventing eutrophication

 

  • Give comprehensive and targeted presentations about the process of eutrophication, and governance/management issues for government officials at different levels.
