Regression equations between algae propagation and physico-chemical factors under microcosm environment

In order to investigate the correlation between algae propagation and physico-chemical factors for reservoir water, the algae propagation was modeled and the factors were monitored under the microcosm environment for building regression equations. The linear matrix based on the biomass of anabaena(ACD), microcystis(ACM) and algae(AC) in moderate eutrophic situation was built. Results showed that the reservoir is phosphorous-limited and relative to total phosphorous (TP) and temperature. The prediction equations based on TP and temperature can predict algae concentration variations. The prediction equations built under microcosm conditions can help water plants predict algae concentrations and adjust water treatment processes according to the equations' results.
