Abstract

The sediment in reservoirs is mainly derived from the sedimentation of suspended grains, such as organic particles and inorganic minerals, carried by runoff scouring from vegetation. There are three parts in this chapter: (1) Effects of pollutants released from sediment on water quality; (2) Effects of metals released from sediment on water quality; (3) Algal blooms and their impact on water quality. The decrease of the oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) in a multiphase interface under anaerobic conditions resulted in the increase of soluble ferrous hydroxide. Phosphate combining with iron hydroxide in sediment is released to interstitial water and then diffused into the overlying water. In addition, the metabolism of microbes resulted in the decrease of the ORP in anaerobic conditions, promoting the release of soluble iron in sediment and then causing the huge release of phosphorus. The release of endogenous phosphorus from sediment under anaerobic conditions resulted in the significant increase of PO₄ ³⁻ in the overlying water. The release of phosphorus from sediment depends on the conditions of the ORP.
