Abstract. The construction of large reservoirs results in the formation of tributary bays, and tributary bays are inevitably influenced by the backwater jacking and intrusion of the main reservoir. The hydrodynamic conditions and the environmental factors of tributary bays exhibit complex distribution characteristics and eutrophication occur frequently. Thus, exploring the distribution and evolution of the hydrodynamic and water environment characteristics of tributary bays in response to backwater jacking and intrusion is the key to solving eutrophication and other problems relevant to water environment. In this paper, a typical tributary bay (Tangxi River) of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) was selected to study the hydrodynamic and environmental characteristics of the tributary bay influenced by the jacking and intrusion of the main reservoir. The flow field, water temperature and water quality of the Tangxi River were simulated using the hydrodynamic and quality model CE-QUAL-W2, and the eutrophication status of the tributary bay was also evaluated. The results showed that the main reservoir had different effects on its tributary bay in each month. The tributary bay was mainly affected by backwater jacking of the main reservoir when the water level dropped and by intrusion of the main reservoir when the water level rose. An obvious quality concentration boundary existed in the tributary bay, which was basically consistent with the regional boundary in the flow field. The flow field and water quality on both sides of the boundary were quite different. The results of this study can help us figure out how the backwater jacking and intrusion of the main reservoir influence the hydrodynamic and water environment characteristics of the tributary bay and provide guidance for water environment protection in the tributary bays.

The flow field, water temperature, and water quality of Tangxi River were simulated using the hydrodynamic and water quality model CE-QUAL-W2 (thomas and Scott, 2008), and the eutrophication status of the tributary bay was also evaluated. The results showed that the main reservoir had different effects on its tributary bay in each month. The tributary bay was mainly affected by backwater jacking from the main reservoir when the water level of the main reservoir dropped and by intrusions from the main reservoir when the water level of the main reservoir rose.

The flow field and water quality on both sides of the boundary were quite different. The results of this study can help us figure out how the backwater jacking and intrusions from the main reservoir influence the hydrodynamic and water environment characteristics of the tributary bay and provide guidance for water environment protection in tributary bays.

The aim of the present study was to determine the environmental characteristics and water quality of a drainage basin impacted by human activities in order to obtain quantitative information for helping the development of environmental management politics of soils, lakes, rivers and water resources. Physicochemical properties and concentrations of metals were determined in different water samples. Dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, color, ammonia, phosphorus, phenol, copper, silver, lead, cadmium and iron differed from levels considered acceptable by international regulations, indicating potential environmental pollution due to land occupation and the improper disposal of domestic, industrial and agricultural waste. The leaching of pollutants from the soil to bodies of water was also found. Total dissolved solids, salinity, suspended solids, nitrate, nitrite and zinc levels were lower than the limits imposed by international regulations, but have been increasing over time. Urbanization, industrialization and agricultural processes in drainage basins significantly affect the natural characteristics of the environment, leading to an increase in the concentrations of pollutants and a reduction in the quality of water, plants and soils. As pollutants in drainage basins generally enter into soils, rivers, lakes and ocean, it is necessary to obtain quantitative information about the human impacts in the water quality for developing environmental management politics aiming to preserve the water resources.
