Abstract
Eutrophication caused by nutrients such as phosphorus has become a major issue over the years. Dealing with this phenomenon is a major concern in many countries, and municipalities are establishing strict rules to cope with this problem in water bodies. However, the development of cities has a cost, and supplying the food needs of people is essential. In order to optimize agricultural lands, the use of fertilizers is a basic requirement. The presence of nutrients such as phosphorus in these chemical products cannot be avoided. Then, to struggle with eutrophication, there must be options that manage the phosphorus in water bodies as a trouble that we have to live with. To deal with this situation, an accurate measurement of phosphorus in... (More)
Eutrophication caused by nutrients such as phosphorus has become a major issue over the years. Dealing with this phenomenon is a major concern in many countries, and municipalities are establishing strict rules to cope with this problem in water bodies. However, the development of cities has a cost, and supplying the food needs of people is essential. In order to optimize agricultural lands, the use of fertilizers is a basic requirement. The presence of nutrients such as phosphorus in these chemical products cannot be avoided. Then, to struggle with eutrophication, there must be options that manage the phosphorus in water bodies as a trouble that we have to live with. To deal with this situation, an accurate measurement of phosphorus in water bodies must be carried on. But not only measurements are necessary, but also an understanding of the behavior of the nutrients in the hydrological systems and water bodies. This work attempts to analyze the behavior of phosphorus in Lake Vomb from a box model approach. In order to reach that goal, a water balance of the lake is developed. Once the water balance is done, phosphorus concentrations are added to the flows, and, compared with measured concentration data, and an explanation of the behavior of this nutrient is proposed.
