Tonolli 50, 28922 Verbania-Pallanza, Italy *e-mail corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The paper describes a numerical study for estimating the spatial distribution of the hydraulic residence time in Lago Maggiore. A 3D eulerian time-dependent CFD code has been applied under real conditions, taking into account the effects of the monthly mean values of the mass flow rates and temperatures of all the tributaries, mass flow rate of the Ticino effluent and meteorological, hydrogeological and limnological parameters available from the rich data-base of CNR-ISE (Pallanza). The velocity distributions from these simulations were used to compute the paths of a number of massless markers with different initial positions and so evaluate their residence times within the lake. The results presented here follow a two-year simulation and show encouraging agreement with the mechanisms of mixing and of deep water oxygenation revealed by recent limnological studies carried out at CNR-ISE. Further studies are in progress to improve the results and extend the research over a time period of at least four years. Key words: residence time, hydro-meteorological parameters, eulerian mathematical model, CFD, lagrangian markers These difficulties can be particularly severe for large 1.

  • Twenty-Year Sediment Contamination Trends in Some Tributaries of Lake Maggiore (Northern Italy): Relation with Anthropogenic Factors
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-021-13388-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Twenty-year sediment contamination trends in some tributaries of Lake Maggiore (Northern Italy): relation with anthropogenic factors Laura Marziali1 & Licia Guzzella1 & Franco Salerno1 & Aldo Marchetto2 & Lucia Valsecchi 1 & Stefano Tasselli1,3 & Claudio Roscioli1 & Alfredo Schiavon1,4 Received: 3 November 2020 /Accepted: 8 March 2021 # The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract Lake tributaries collect contaminants from the watershed, which may accumulate in lake sediments over time and may be removed through the outlets. DDx, PCB, PAH, PBDE, and trace element (Hg, As, Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb) contamination was analyzed over 2001– 2018 period in sediments of the 5 main tributaries and of the outlet of Lake Maggiore (Northern Italy). Sediment cores were collected in two points of the lake, covering 1995–2017 period. Concentrations were compared to Sediment Quality Guidelines (PECs), potential sources and drivers (land use, population numbers, industrial activities, hydrology) were analyzed, and temporal trends were calculated (Mann-Kendall test). PCB, PBDE, Pb, Cd, and Hg contamination derives mainly from heavy urbanization and industry. Cu and Pb show a temporal decreasing trend in the basin, likely as result of improved wastewater treatments and change in use. A recent PAH increase in the whole lake may derive from a single point source. A legacy DDx and Hg industrial pollution is still present, due to high persistence in sediments. Values of DDx, Hg, Pb, and Cu above the PECs in lake sediments and/or in the outlet show potential risk for aquatic organisms.
