Abstract

Nitrogen and P interchange between the sediments and the overlying water of a simulated retention pond used for wastewater treatment were evaluated under conditions of seasonal temperature fluctuations and varying physico-chemical conditions (exposing floodwater surface to daylight vs. dark and turbulent vs. quiscent floodwater). Natural sediment columns obtained from two types of field retention ponds were used. One type of retention pond consisted of calcareous clay loam sediment while the sediment of second retention pond contained organic soil. Nutrient interchange between sediments and the overlying water was measured once a month over a period of one year.
