Daily, seasonal, and flood-dependent dynamics of water quality in a lowland urban stream in a Mediterranean climate
Water quality in streams provides fundamental information on the stream’s ecosystem functioning and status. High-frequency measurements, taken with sensors, can reveal details about hydrological and biogeochemical processes in these streams, which are difficult to obtain through other sampling methods. Such measurements are generally lacking in streams in Mediterranean climates, and thus, their temporal water quality patterns are not entirely clear. This study aimed to quantify and characterize the daily, seasonal, and flood-dependent water quality dynamics in a lowland urban Mediterranean stream, and to compare them to water quality dynamics in streams located in temperate climates. Data of dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrate, cDOM, chlorophyll a, turbidity, electrical conductivity, pH, water level, and light intensity in the Yarkon Stream, a lowland urban stream in Israel, were measured in 15-minute intervals beginning in July 2019. It was found that water quality dynamics, under baseflow conditions, were controlled by the input from wastewater treatment plants and biogeochemical reactions and not by fluctuations in discharge. In addition, water quality variability, under baseflow conditions, was more distinctly observed through diel patterns than through comparisons of average seasonal values. This was especially true for dissolved oxygen, pH, CO2, chlorophyll a, and turbidity. Floods were dominated by dilution processes, while flushing incidents occurred only during specific events, mostly during floods that followed closely after a preceding one. The insights gained from this study are expected to provide a foundational basis for developing a conceptual model of water quality in a lowland urban Mediterranean stream. They are also expected to enhance our understanding of the similarities and differences between lowland urban Mediterranean streams and those in temperate climates, for which more data are available.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
