[Pilot-scale study on riparian Scirpus yagara Ohw zone improving water quality of river].
In one year polluted water was treated with Scirpus yagara Ohw to investigate its impact on river water quality in pilot scale test, and COD, NH4(+) -N, TP, turbidity and water temperature were tested. The results show that the Scirpus yagara Ohw gives better water quality in summer and autumn than in winter and spring. In summer, the Scirpus yagara Ohw zone removes 44.10% of the COD, 78.66% of the ammonia, 69.44% of the phosphorous, and 99.53% of the turbidity. It also can improve water quality to some extent in winter. The Scirpus yagara Ohw can reduce effluent temperature and effluent temperature difference between evening and morning and then improve water microenvironment locally. Comparisons between the Scirpus yagara Ohw riparian zone and control zone showed that the Scirpus yagara Ohw affects importantly on removing pollutants, improving local microenvironment of water.
