Impact of Global Major Reservoirs and Lakes on Plastic Dynamics Using a Process‐Based Eco‐Hydrology Model
Tadanobu Nakayama
Abstract:Environmental contamination by plastics has been receiving considerable attention from scientists, policymakers and the public. In this study, the process‐based model NICE‐BGC was extended to couple with LAKE2K in a stratified water quality model to evaluate the global plastic dynamics in both lotic and lentic waters. The new model could simulate riverine plastic transport in inland waters with and without the presence of global major reservoirs and lakes. The result showed the simulated plastic transport with… Show more
