Abstract

Taihu Lake, the third largest freshwater lake in China, is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and serves as an important water source for the surrounding areas. The waters of Taihu Lake have experienced eutrophication for four decades, with frequent cyanobacteria blooms that have caused serious water use problems in the surrounding areas. The most recent was in 2007. This paper analyzed the management of cyanobacteria in the past decade based on the situation of cyanobacteria management since the 2007 outbreak, summarized the past experience and future development direction of cyanobacteria management in Taihu Lake, and analyzed the effects of different measures. Results show that the causes of cyanobacteria outbreak were analyzed, and the corresponding management suggestions were put forward. The governance of the past decade has mainly included physical, chemical and ecological approaches. Physical and chemical methods can kill algae quickly and effectively, but there are problems of high cost and secondary pollution. Ecological approaches are more promising, such as deep water purification by establishing ecosystems dominated by aquatic plants. In addition, emerging algae treatment technologies also show high potential, such as algae AIO recovery technology and resource disposal technology, which can effectively alleviate the problem of cyanobacteria and realize resource utilization.
