“…Wittmann et al (2010) also found the highest quagga mussel densities on muddy and sandy substrates at depths from 12-42 m in Lake Mead. In a reservoir in Spain, Navarro et al (2006) found the highest densities of zebra mussels in the hypolimnion, but the biomass of the individuals was much less than mussels found in the epilimnion. This study and Wacker and von Elert (2003) both found the lowest densities of mussels in the hypolimnion and the highest densities in the epilimnion.…”

“…Integrated surface water samples (INAG IP 2009) were collected at each sampling site using a one-inch diameter garden hose (Navarro et al 2006;Becker et al 2010), with modifications. Garden hoses 5, 3, and 2 m in length were used when the depths of the sampling sites were greater than 10 m, between 10 and 5 m, and less than 5 m, respectively ( Table 2).…”

Abstract:The aim of this research was to analyze the horizontal spatial heterogeneity of both water and superficial sediment quality among and within the reservoirs of the Cantareira System (CS), focusing on concentrations of N and P, attributed to the dumping of raw domestic sewage into water bodies, which is the main cause of water pollution in São Paulo State (Brazil). The CS is a multi-system complex composed of five interconnected reservoirs, with water transported by gravity through 48 km of tunnels and channels. From the last reservoir of the CS, with an output of 33 m 3 s -1, the water is conducted to a water treatment plant, producing half of the water consumed by 19 million people inhabiting São Paulo city. The upstream reservoirs are more eutrophic than the downstream ones. Data also suggest that the low phytoplankton biomass (ranging from 0.9 to 14.4 µg dm ). For water, the DIN/TP ratios values range from 19 to 380. The upstream reservoirs function as nutrient accumulators and the sediment is the main compartment in which P and N are stored. Although the reservoirs are located in different river basins and are not in sequence along the same river, the results suggest a marked gradient between the reservoirs, with features similar to those of cascade reservoirs. The large volumes flowing through the canals and tunnels could explain the observed pattern. The CS reservoirs can therefore be considered multi-system reservoirs in cascade, constituting a particular case of multi-system reservoirs.

“…It receives water from the Ebro, Segre and Matarraña rivers, although the latter provides only a small quantity of water and has not been taken into account in the model, although it is sufficient to transport larvae. As a preliminary approach, this reservoir presents a hydrodynamic organization (Navarro et al, 2006) with a stratification of the water column due to the interaction between colder and more mineralized water from the Ebro River located at the bottom, and less mineralized, warmer water, with a greater concentration of nutrients, coming from the Segre River, flowing near or through the surface. This arrangement allows the distinction of two clearly different layers in the water column in the reservoir throughout the year (upper, U, and lower, L), especially in summer, when the incoming waters from Segre are warmer.…”

A B S T R A C TThe potential and adaptive flexibility of population dynamic P-systems (PDP) to study population dynamics suggests that they may be suitable for modelling complex fluvial ecosystems, characterized by a composition of dynamic habitats with many variables that interact simultaneously. Using as a model a reservoir occupied by the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha, we designed a computational model based on P systems to study the population dynamics of larvae, in order to evaluate management actions to control or eradicate this invasive species. The population dynamics of this species was simulated under different scenarios ranging from the absence of water flow change to a weekly variation with different flow rates, to the actual hydrodynamic situation of an intermediate flow rate. Our results show that PDP models can be very useful tools to model complex, partially desynchronized, processes that work in parallel. This allows the study of complex hydroecological processes such as the one presented, where reproductive cycles, temperature and water dynamics are involved in the desynchronization of the population dynamics both, within areas and among them.The results obtained may be useful in the management of other reservoirs with similar hydrodynamic situations in which the presence of this invasive species has been documented.2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
