Alton Water, Suffolk, UK is a pumped storage reservoir that has a history of cyanobacterial blooms. Dosing of the input water with ferric sulphate to control external phosphorus loading has occurred since 1983. A detailed study of the sediment chemistry of the site was carried out between May 1995 and July 1997. Sequential phosphorus fraction analysis indicated a decrease along the length of the reservoir in sediment labile phosphorus content from 0.62 to 0.08 mg P g(-1) dw and iron-bound phosphorus content from 3.22 to 0.46 mg P g(-1) dw. These gradients positively correlated with water column chlorophyll rr concentrations reported in a parallel study. Labile and iron-bound sediment phosphorus contents were in a dynamic equilibrium due to diffusional release, contributing to internal loading to the water column. Equilibrium phosphorus concentrations (EPC) determined from phosphorus adsorption capacity (PAC) experiments were lower inside the bunded region (0.01-0.03 mg P-PO4 l(-1)) where iron content was greatest compared to outside the bund (0.15-0.20 mg P-PO4 l(-1)) suggesting greater potential for diffusional release of phosphorus at the latter site. PAC experiments indicated that anaerobic and pH-mediated loadings were of less importance than diffusional release, although the latter map have contributed to internal loading in the main reservoir. Sulphate concentrations may act to increase the potential for anaerobic internal loading near to the pumped input in microstratified sediment. Sediment iron content decreased from 250 +/- 13.1 to 51 +/- 4.0 mg Fe g(-1) dw across the line of a constructed bund at the north-west end near to the pumped input, which indicated successful control of dispersal of the fine ferric floc. The management implications with regard to phosphorus loadings indicated by these results are discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
