Abstract

Anthropogenic land-derived materials in urban wastewater in semienclosed, partially stratified estuaries (Osaka Bay and Harima Nada, Japan) are investigated with a triple-nested high-resolution ocean model. The dispersal and dilution of effluent released from the subsurface nearshore outfall of Tarumi Sewage Treatment Plant near Akashi Strait is considered. The effluent dispersal in the northeastern Osaka Bay is two-layered and highly reversible in the upper and lower layers due to stratification influenced by freshwater input mainly from Yodo River. The overall effluent load is in the dominant circulation direction of Seto Inland Sea encompassing the two estuaries, substantially controlled by Kuroshio.
