For the purpose of determining the effect of dredging on nutrients releasing from the sediment at the bottom of Lake Suwa after some of its sediment has been dredged, an experiment was performed to find out how much ammonium and phosphate would release from different depths of the sediment. Lake Suwa's sediment contains a lot of nitrogen and phoshorus down to its lower layers. The results of the experiment were as follows: The speed at which ammonium released from was faster as the depth of sediment increased. The speed at which ammonium was generated in the sediment showed the highest of 2.58N micro g/g dry sediment d in a 0-10cm layer. However, ammonium showed a generation speed of 1.3-1.4N micro g/g dry sediment-d at the depth of 10cm and more, indicating that ammonium easy to release from is generated even in lower layers. The speed at which phosphorus released from was 1.3-1.7Pmg/square m d in a 0-20cm deep layer, and 0.14-0.31Pmg/square m d at the depth of 20cm and more. The speed of Phosphorus releasing from lower layers of the sediment decreased to 1/4-1/10 of that in upper layers, and it was indicated that very little phosphorus flows out of the sediment at the depth of 20cm and more.
