Physicochemical Characteristics of River Water Downstream of a Large Tropical Hydroelectric Dam by Teck-Yee Ling, Chen-Lin Soo, Teresa Lee-Eng Heng, Lee Nyanti, Siong-Fong Sim, Jongkar Grinang

“…When the spillway was opened, the water quality improved in terms of oxygen content (>8.0 mg/L), total sulphide (TS), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) but deteriorated in terms of five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), and total phosphorus (TP). Additionally, the intensity of the impacts, particularly BOD5, COD, and TAN, shows a declining trend as distance from the dam increases. …”

Variability of nutrient transport and associated upper ocean primary production induced by Kuroshio meanders in the Enshu-nada Sea, Japan by Namazue Gaku, Uchiyama Yusuke, Zhang Xu, Masunaga Eiji

“…Towards the desirable preservation of the marine environment under a changing global climate, this study aims to investigate the coastal biological response to varying oceanic conditions, namely the Kuroshio meander, and associated nitrate transport on the Pacific coast of Japan around the Enshu-nada Sea, using a coupled three-dimensional regional ocean circulation model with a nitrogen-based ecosystem model. A prominent difference was found in nitrate transport processes between for a period when the Kuroshio took a meandering path and for a non-meandering period, leading to about 1.5 times higher surface primary production measured by chlorophyl-a concentration during the non-meandering period than during the meandering period. …”
