Balance evaluation of the role of lateral inflow in water quality formation in the reservoirs of the water divide reach of the Moscow Canal

Estimates of the chemical load of reservoirs in the water divide reach of the Moscow Canal in terms of phosphates, ammonium ion, nitrates, chlorides, organic matter (by permanganate oxidability), and BOD are given. Matter fluxes for lateral tributaries are compared with the fluxes along the canal, a...

Description
Summary:Estimates of the chemical load of reservoirs in the water divide reach of the Moscow Canal in terms of phosphates, ammonium ion, nitrates, chlorides, organic matter (by permanganate oxidability), and BOD are given. Matter fluxes for lateral tributaries are compared with the fluxes along the canal, and the obtained relationships are used to evaluate seasonal variations in the role of lateral inflow in water quality formation in the reservoirs. The role of tributaries is shown to increase with decreasing volumes of Volga water transfer.
