Lake Balaton

The effectiveness of nitrate addition to control sulfide has been investigated in a sewer network in the Lake Balaton catchment, Hungary (Jobbagy et al., 1994). Figure 6.6 shows the effect of nitrate addition on the H2S concentration in the headspace of a manhole located downstream of the station where nitrate was added. The importance of the anoxic removal of organic matter at the inlet...

Balatonfured is located on the north side of Lake Balaton thus the major source raw water is surface water. It is disinfected with chlorine-dioxide. Particularly in the summertime, the water supplier supplements drinking water with untreated karstic water because of higher consumption. The mixing occurs in the pipework, but near the feedstock features of one or the other type of water are dominant.

The rubidium contents of drinking water in Germany were investigated systematically, and a mean rubidium concentration of 11 pgL and a median of 8.1 pgL were established (Anke et al. 1997b). The water of Lake Balaton in Hungary accumulated much higher rubidium concentrations (94 to 1100 pgL ) (Kovacs etal. 1985).

In what follows we briefly describe the main characteristics of a deterministic and a stochastic model of the eutrophication process in Lake Balaton, using the concepts of formal reaction kinetics.
