Abstract

- Water reservoirs were built in the semi-arid region to mitigate the e ff ects of drought and water scarcity. However, these reservoirs are subject to variables that impact the volume and quality of the stored water, with the contribution of such nutrients as Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) being one of the main factors in intensifying the eutrophication process. The aim of this study was to quantify the principal inputs and outputs of nutrients (N and P) and calculate the nutrient balance, in order to verify the in fl uence of seasonality on the import and export of these nutrients in surface reservoirs of the semi-arid region of Brazil. Seven campaigns were carried out between 2015 and 2016, with water samples collected at fi ve points in the Pereira de Miranda reservoir and four in the General Sampaio reservoir. The in fl ow of nutrients was greater when the in fl ow rate of the water was higher. The balance showed the accumulation of 22.8 tons of TN and 2.8 tons of TP in the Pereira de Miranda reservoir, and 13 tons of TN and 1.5 tons of TP in the General Sampaio. These reservoirs are therefore retaining nutrients, acting as a storage site for nutrients transported by surface runo ff in the basin of the Curu River. This increase in storage occurred mainly during the rainy season, when nutrient retention by the reservoirs impaired water quality, resulting in eutrophication, and making it di ffi cult to meet the uses for which the reservoirs were intended.

期刊介绍: To publish technical-scientific articles and study cases (original projects) that are not submitted to other journals, involving new researches and technologies in fields related to Agrarian Sciences. Articles concerning routine analysis, preliminary studies, technical notes and those which merely report laboratorial analysis employing traditional methodology will not be accepted for publication. The Journal of Agronomical Science also has the mission to promote the exchange of experience in the referred fields.
