Abstract
Chlorophyll-a is crucial to characterize the eutrophication status. Return period of Chlorophyll-a is very helpful to the treatment of lakes and reservoirs eutrophication. In this study, the Gumbel-Hougaard Copula method is applied to discern the inherent relationship between chlorophyll-a and environmental variables of Chaohu Lake, China. The result shows that Weibull probability distribution is the preferred marginal distribution for Chl-a, Gamma for TP and TN, Log-normal for SD and CODmn. The sequence of correlation between chlorophyll-a and environmental factors is CODmn, SD, TP and TN. The method proposed here presents an effective tool to analyze the interaction of eutrophic variables in complex water environment system, also could provide reference for integrated management and treatment of lakes and reservoirs.
