Improvement of methods of algolization and biomelioration of the Rostov NPP cooling pond and the near dam part of the Tsimlyansk reservoir

Abstract

The intensive multiplication of cyanobacteria which results in the phenomenon of «blooming of water» is one of the most complicated and urgent problems of many reservoirs. Highly eutrophic water bodies in southern regions subject to regular anthropogenic impact are in the most vulnerable position. The level of manifestation of «water bloom» in the upstream zone of the Tsimlyanskoye reservoir in the most productive areas of the open and closed coastal zone, as well as in the central zone is often quite high and requires regular implementation of a set of measures to improve water quality. At present, to combat the spectrum of negative effects caused by eutrophication processes and hyperproduction of cyanobacteria, bioremediation methods are actively applied, one of which is algolization of water bodies by planktonic strains of green microalgae Chlorella vulgaris Beijer
