Abstract:Based on the risk analysis of cynaobacteria bloom hazard in Taihu Lake, the index system for the cynaobacteria bloom risk evaluation was constructed. Combined with the concept of risk evaluation, the risk evaluation method was established. On the basis, the hazard risk, exposure risk, vulnerability risk, and comprehensive risk of the nine lake regions in Taihu Lake were evaluated taking 2008 as the base year. The largest risk regions were in northern part of Taihu Lake, especially the Gonghu Lake was the most serious as the water source area. The risk in Zhushan Lake, Meiliang Bay and western coastal was middle for the large hazard risk. In the other regions, the risk in Xuhu Lake, southern coastal and big Taihu Lake was light risk, and there were almost no cyanobacteria bloom outbreak risk for the light eutrophication and large vegetation cover in the southwest regions of Taihu Lake.
