The Impact

The water quality of six important rivers in Haihe River Basin, including Yongding River, Luanhe River, North Canal, Daqing River, South Canal and Chaobai River, was evaluated. The influence of point source and non-point source on water quality was analyzed. The causes of water environmental pollution in the major rivers were preliminarily revealed. The results show that the water quality of Chaobai River is good, and the impact of point source and non-point source discharge on the water body is small. Other rivers are affected by different degrees of point source and non-point source pollution. Based on the analysis results, the engineering measures and management countermeasures for river regulation are put forward.

The Impact

Increasing migration of nutrients in the river water is a major factor in determining the quality of river water due to anthropogenic activities. In order to preserve the good water quality in rivers and other surface water bodies, it is necessary to take preventive measures that can be scientific water quality research and analysis. According to research carried out in kind, the article analyses the Anykščiai city as point source pollution, and the influence of it to the water quality of Šventoji river. Also, based on the statistical information a nutrient concentrations trend analysis of the meteorological and hydrological con-ditions influence was carried out. Investigations were carried out in July-September of 2016. Concentrations of ammonium (NH4-N), nitrite (NO2-N), nitrate (NO3-N), phosphate (PO4-P) and dissolved oxygen (O2) was analysed. In order to determine the impact of point source pollution on river water quality, the changes in concentration before and beyond Anykščiai city were evaluated, according to the meteorological and hydrological conditions. It was found that total nitrogen (Nb) and total phos-phorus (Pb) concentrations during the investigation period respectively, increases in 6% and 8%.

Taking the small watershed in Tanxia town as an example, the classified investigation of agricultural non-point source pollution in the tributaries of Lijiang River was carried out, the sources of local agricultural non-point source pollution were analyzed, and the surface water environmental quality standard and Nemero index method were used to evaluate the water quality of the basin. The results show that the water quality of the basin is poor and the pollution exceeds the standard all the year round, and the source of agricultural non-point source pollution mainly depends on the pollution of agricultural chemical fertilizer. Improving the use of local chemical fertilizer and rational application of chemical fertilizer are the key factors to improve local agricultural non-point source pollution.

Abstract. Under the background of climate change and human's activities, there has been presenting an increase both in the frequency of droughts and the range of their impacts. Droughts may give rise to a series of resources, environmental and ecological effects, i.e. water shortage, water quality deterioration as well as the decrease in the diversity of aquatic organisms. This paper, above all, identifies the impact mechanism of drought on the surface water quality of the basin, and then systematically studies the laws of generation, transfer, transformation and degradation of pollutants during the drought, finding out that the alternating droughts and floods stage is the critical period during which the surface water quality is affected. Secondly, through employing indoor orthogonality experiments, serving drought degree, rainfall intensity and rainfall duration as the main elements and designing various scenario models, the study inspects the effects of various factors on the nitrogen loss in soil as well as the loss of non-point sources pollution and the leaching rate of nitrogen under the different alternating scenarios of drought and flood. It comes to the conclusion that the various factors and the loss of non-point source pollution are positively correlated, and under the alternating scenarios of drought and flood, there is an exacerbation in the loss of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in soil, which generates the transfer and transformation mechanisms of non-point source pollution from a micro level. Finally, by employing the data of Nenjiang river basin, the paper assesses the impacts of drought on the surface water quality from a macro level.

Under the condition of natural rain and through the method of field runoff plots, a field experiment with 6 kinds of water and fertilizer managements in 5 years was carried out to study the effects of water and fertilizer managements on the concentration and loss of nitrogen and phosphorus by runoff from paddy field. Results showed that: Water quality of runoff under “none fertilization and routine irrigation”(CK) was the best, and which under “optimization fertilization and optimization irrigation”(OF+OI) took the second place. And the loss of nitrogen and phosphorus under CK was the least, and which under OF+OI was less. Thus, we can conclude that it is an economical and effective measure to control nitrogen and phosphorus non-point source pollution from paddy field by using the treatment of OF+OI.

Zaohe River is a main pollution and flood discharge river in Xian city. Its water quality is affected not only by the point source pollution (PSP), but also by the non-point source pollution (NSP) to some extent. Water flow and water quality of Zaohe River are monitored during the flooding and non-flooding periods from April in 2010 to October in 2011. The results indicated that: 1) The concentration of COD, TP, NH3-N, and TN are exceed the Environmental quality standard grand Ⅴ for surface water (GB3838-2002 of China). 2) The concentration of COD is increasing from upstream to downstream. The concentration of TP, NH3-N, and TN increase firstly and then decrease. The change of NO3-N is small and the concentration of Cr is the lowest in the heavy metal pollutants. 3) The variations of pollutant concentration are smaller during the non-flooding periods than the flooding periods at Caotan section. The NSP load is lower than PSP in the flood period, and the NSP load ratio of SS, COD, NH3-N, NO3-N, TN, DP and TP is 14%, 2.0%, 5.1%, 6.0%, 7.4% and 4.2% separately. 4) The PSP plays the important role in the pollution abatement of Zaohe River，but the NSP can not be ignored, too.
