Water quality in wetlands plays a huge role in maintaining the health of the wetland ecosystem. Water quality should be controlled by an appropriate water allocation policy for the protection of the wetlands. In this paper, models of rainfall/runoff, non-point source pollution load, water quantity/quality, and dynamic pollutant-carrying capacity were established to simulate the water quantity/quality of Xixi-wetland river network (in the Taihu basin, China). The simulation results showed a satisfactory agreement with field observations. Furthermore, a ‘node-river-node’ algorithm that adjusts to the ‘Three Steps Method’ was adopted to improve the dynamic pollutant-carrying capacity model and simulate the pollutant-carrying capacity in benchmark years. The simulation result shows that the water quality of the river network could reach class III stably all year round if the anthropogenic pollution is reduced to one-third of the current annual amount. Further investigation estimated the minimum amount of water diversion in benchmark years under the reasonable water quantity-regulating rule to keep water quality as class III. With comparison of the designed scale, the water diversion can be reduced by 184 million m3 for a dry year, 191 million m3 for a normal year, and 198 million m3 for a wet year.

In order to evaluate the effective of the hydrodynamic control of pumps and slice gates in plain river network on the water quality improvement, an optimal mathematic model of hydrodynamic controlling on the pumps and slice gates in plain river network was established by combining the water quality objective function and the cost objective function together. The cost function has been set as the main objective function, while the water quality objective function was simplified as the restrained condition for every required water quality index, through which the multi-objective optimization was transferred into a single-objective optimization. Then, this optimal model was solved by coupling the water environmental model with the hybrid genetic algorithm. The case study of Jiaxing river network shows that the proposed hydrodynamic controlling optimal model in this paper can develop the optimal water diversion scheme for water quality improvement and cut its cost. It works better compared to the traditional water quality objective function and can be used in the engineering practice.

A framework for characteristics identification and source apportionment of water pollution in the Jinjiang River of China was proposed in this study for evaluation. A total of 114 water samples which were generated between May 2009 and September 2010 at 13 sites were collected and analysed. First, support vector machine (SVM) and water quality pollutant index (WQPI) were used for water quality comprehensive evaluation and identifying characteristic contaminants. Later, factor analysis with nonnegative constraints (FA-NNC) was employed for source apportionment. Finally, multi-linear regression of the absolute principal component score (APCS/MLR) was applied to further estimate source contributions for each characteristic contaminant. The results indicated that the water quality of the Jinjiang River was mainly at the third level (65.79%) based on national surface water quality permissible standards in China. Ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, mercury, iron and manganese were identified as characteristic contaminants. Source apportionment results showed that industrial activities (63.16%), agricultural non-point source (16.50%) and domestic sewage (12.85%) were the main anthropogenic pollution sources which were influencing the water quality of Jinjiang River. This proposed method provided a helpful framework for conducting water pollution management in aquatic environment.

Rembagan River is the main tributary of the Bedadung River in Cangkring Village, Patrang District, Jember Region. Various community activities in the Rembagan River area such as bathing, washing, defecating and urinating as well as agricultural activities will produce domestic and agricultural waste. These wast can cause river water pollution, especially water quality degradation. then the research needs to be done an analysis of the capacity of the Rembagan River in receiving pollution costs. The purpose of this study is to find out how much the ability of the Rembagan River to accept the burden of pollutants using the Streeter-Phelps method. Streeter-Phelps modeling takes into account two phenomena, namely the process of measuring dissolved oxygen (deoxygenation) and the process of increasing dissolved oxygen (reaeration). The results obtained from these calculations are oxygen drop curves determined on the basis of oxygen deficit values. The average values of deoxygenation rate and reoxygenation rate were sequentially 1.58931 mg/L/day and 10.09982 mg/L/day. So that self-purification can run well which means the water quality of the Rembagan River was still relatively good. This can be seen in the DO model pattern that goes up in each segment. The actual DO of 5.6760 mg / L was greater than the DO standard of class III quality of 3 mg / L. It can be interpreted that the Rembagan River still has a remaining DO of 2.676 mg / L and was still able to accept pollution cost of 18.8 kg/day. Keywords:  pollution load, Rembagan River, river capacity
