Abstract | The study of the effect of mechanical destratifiers on water quality in Toowoomba’s reservoirs is urgently needed to understand the behaviour of the reservoirs for management purposes. In this study, a 1-D hydrodynamic model The main conclusions of this study are summarized below: (1) A strong thermal stratification occurs in the storages during the warm period. In this period, Cyanobacteria have a high concentration. (2) The water quality index (WQI) in Cooby storage will be a good or an excellent level. The WQIs of Cooby tend to decrease from an excellent level to a good level without the use of the mixers. The continuous |
