Abstract The effect of DOC and nitrate river inputs on summer hypolimnetic oxygen and nutrient dynamics in the advective-dominated, canyon-shaped Sau Reservoir (Spain) was investigated using 11 years of monitoring data. River water entering the reservoir during summer was the main driver defining hypolimnetic oxygen and nutrient concentration. Thus, volume-normalized hypolimnetic oxygen concentration was highly correlated with the river DOC, but not significantly correlated with surrogates of the epilimnetic primary production or with in-lake features. Also, the areal extent of anoxia and nitrate concentration controlled total phosphorus content in the hypolimnion, suggesting that the river DOC and nitrate inputs control internal load of phosphorus. Because improvement of the river water quality was the consequence of implementation of advanced wastewater treatment plants in the reservoir watershed, we advocate these solutions to manage reservoir eutrophication problems. Our results should prompt reservoir limnologists to always take into account the probable, direct effect of allochthonous sources in the hypolimnetic oxygen content and nutrient dynamics, especially in human-impacted systems.
