High concentration of PO4 and zero DO concentration

I've modeled river-reservoir system. 5 tributaries are entered to river and the reservoir contains three branches. In Water quality simulation model, All inflow concentration of PO4 is correct. I've checked in "snp.opt" file but when the mathematical calculations have been done, the "Spatially integrated mass " of PO4 is about "0.41169542E+17 g" which is very large compared with previous period abou "0.41169542E+6 g ". The mass error value is in "E+6 g" scale. Furthermore the DO concentration become zero. It should be noticed that there is less changes in inflow and concentration. What should I do to fix the problem? I've presented the mass balance results in missing day in below.

Two things come to my mind. 1- Maybe the large PO4 concentrations are coming from the mineralization (decay) of organic matter(LDOM, RDOM, LPOM, RPOM) within the reservoir. 2- Are you using a value larger than zero for the "PARTP" coefficient?
