Abstract: The water flow and associated pollutant transport pathways in many lakes strongly influence the fate of various pollutants, and may thus affect the spatiotemporal variations in the general water quality of the lake. Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, are thought to have important implications for the steadily deteriorating water quality and the associated rapid environmental changes during the flood period. This study used a hydrodynamic model MIKE 21 in conjunction with a particle-tracking model to provide a comprehensive investigation of transport behaviors in a large floodplain Poyang Lake. For the pollutant inputs both directly to the lake and catchment rivers, model simulations indicate that the lake's prevailing water flow patterns cause a unique transport pathway that primarily develops from the catchment river mouths to the downstream area along the lake's main flow channels, similar to a river-transport behavior during the dry period of the lake. Particle-tracking experiment also shows that the pollutant transport pathways appear to exhibit random pathways along with the complex water flow patterns. That is, the released particles are trapped in the eastern bay of the lake, mainly due to influence of the clock-wise gyre. While the particles adjacent to the Kangshan station are more likely to be constrained in the lake's main flow channels and further move northward during this flood period. In addition, simulation results indicate that although the average residence time of the lake is 89 days, substantially longer residence time may occur at some bays, depending on the topographically controlled flow patterns related to the gyres for local lake areas. These results demonstrate that the water flow patterns play an important role in controlling the pollutant transport pathway across the lake. The current study represents a first attempt to use a coupled model approach to provide insights into the transport behaviors for a large river-lake system, given proposals to manage the pollutant within the lake and its catchment rivers.
