To better understand the nutrient distributions in the hyporheic zone of a large shallow eutrophic lake (Lake Taihu) and the potential drivers, the total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) were investigated in March and December 2016. Spatial differences in the TN and TP contents existed in the hyporheic zone, particularly between the eastern and southern zones and the western and northern zones. The TOC/TN ratios in the western, northern, and central zones were mostly <8 and even reached 4, indicating that organic matter originated from aquatic organisms and algae, whereas those in the southern and eastern zones exhibited wide ranges, indicating complex pollution sources. The chloride depth profiles suggested that upwelling hyporheic flow potentially occurred in the southern, western, and northern zones, while alternating flow directions occurred in the eastern zone and no flow or weak flow occurred in the central zone. Compared to the 1st investigation, the TOC, TN, and TP in sediments in the 2nd investigation increased by 13%, 41%, and 87%, respectively, and these changes were mostly due to large hyporheic fluxes with high nutrient concentrations from shallow groundwater. The behavior of the hyporheic zone as an active pollution source/sink due to hyporheic flow should be con- sidered in the comprehensive management of Lake Taihu. (C) 2019 Water Environment Federation
