Abstract

To understand the biogeochemical process of mercury (Hg) in reservoir in Wujiang River Basin, Southwest China, six cascade reservoirs including Yinzidu Reservoir (YZD), Suofengying Reservoir (SFY), Hongjiadu Reservoir (HJD), Puding Reservoir (PD), Dongfeng Reservoir (DF), and Wujiangdu Reservoir (WJD) in the mainstream of Wujiang River were selected in this study. The primary objectives of this chapter were: (1) to investigate spatial and seasonal variations of Hg species in different sectors of reservoirs (e.g., water column, sediment, sediment pore water); (2) to reveal the processes of Hg methylation and their possible controlling factors in the reservoirs in the Wujiang River Basin, Southwest China.
