Modelling Dissolved Oxygen Depression in an Urban River in China

Abstract: Dissolved oxygen (DO) depression in urban rivers appears to be increasing in developing countries, which causes severe aquatic ecosystem stresses. One urban river which suffers DO depression under low flow conditions and requires systematic research for effective mitigation strategies is the Nanfei River (Hefei, China). We investigated its longitudinal profiles of DO and other related water constituents with high spatial resolution monitoring at low flow. A mechanistic DO model for the reach was customized and… Show more

“…In Figure 9, average DO content of river water in March, May, July, September, and November was 7.99 ± 2.07 mg/L, 5.64 ± 2.79 mg/L,7.90 ± 0.85 mg/L, 6.21 ± 1.66 mg/L, and 3.27 ± 1.41 mg/L, respectively. The saturated oxygen content of water was about 10 mg/L at normal temperature and atmospheric pressure [48,77]. DO content was more than 5 mg/L except the one in November.…”

“…Since values lower than 5 mg/L generate an adverse effect on fish and other aquatic organisms, the same applies to them [42,43]. According to Huang et al [44], the dissolved oxygen decrease in urban rivers is rising in developing countries, which causes strong stresses in aquatic ecosystems. This decrease is due to the bacterial decomposition process in the presence of a large number of organic compounds [39,42,45].…”

“…This underlies the selection of DO as the targeted variable in the monitoring design optimization of sampling stations and the number of station in the observed zone. Oxygen solubility is already known as an important water quality variable, which is linked to various biogeochemical cycles, both biotic and abiotic environments (Harris et al, 2015;Huang et al, 2017).…”
