With the rapid development of China, water pollution is still a serious problem despite implementation of control measures. Reasonable water environment management measures are very important for improving water quality and controlling eutrophication. In this study, the coupled models of hydrodynamics, water quality, and eutrophication were used to predict artificial Playground Lake water quality in the Zhenjiang, China. Recommended “unilateral” and “bilateral” river numerical models were constructed to simulate the water quality in the Playground Lake without or with water diversion by pump, sluice and push pump. Under “unilateral” and “bilateral” river layouts, total nitrogen and total phosphorus meet the landscape water requirement through water diversion. Tourist season in spring and summer and its suitable temperature result in heavier eutrophication, while winter is lighter. Under pumping condition, water quality and eutrophication of “unilateral” river is better than “bilateral” rivers. Under sluice diversion, the central landscape lake of “unilateral river” is not smooth, and water quality and eutrophication is inferior to the “bilateral”. When the water level exceeds the flood control level (4.1 m), priority 1 is launched to discharge water from the Playground Lake. During operation of playground, when water level is less than the minimum level (3.3 m), priority 2 is turned on for pumping diversion or sluice diversion to Playground Lake. After opening the Yangtze river diversion channel sluice, priority 3 is launched for sluice diversion to the Playground Lake. When the temperature is less than 15 °C, from 15 °C to 25 °C and higher than 25 °C, the water quality can be maintained for 15 days, 10 days and 7 days, respectively. Corresponding to the conditions of different priority levels, reasonable choices of scheduling measures under different conditions to improve the water quality and control eutrophication of the Playground Lake. This article is relevant for the environmental management of the artificial Playground Lake, and similar lakes elsewhere.

One of the key issues of the Source-to-Sink process is revealing the geomorphological evolutions of large rivers from the perspective of river sink areas. This study aims to reveal the provenance change near the vertex of the Yangtze delta during the late Cenozoic and provide insight into the Yangtze channelization into the sea due to regional tectonic subsidence. Heavy minerals and zircon geochronology in the Plio-Pleistocene sediments of the vertex of the modern Yangtze delta (core RGK15) reveal that a significant provenance shift occurred at ~2.6 Ma (the beginning of the Pleistocene). During the Pliocene, ultra-stable heavy minerals and pre-Mesozoic zircon grains predominated in the sediments, probably derived from contemporary outcrops of sedimentary rock that were widely distributed in the delta and its surrounding area. They are completely different from those in the Pliocene sediments of the south delta, indicating that decentralized, local, small watersheds dominated the Yangtze delta during the Pliocene. This resulted from the relatively elevated terrain of this region due to the adjacent ancient Zhejiang–Fujian Uplift (ZFU) at that time. However, diversified heavy minerals and zircon geochronology similar to those of the modern upper Yangtze fingerprints occur in the Pleistocene sediments of core RGK15, implying that a significant provenance shift to the Yangtze River occurred here at ~2.6 Ma. The provenance shift recorded by the cores in the south delta mainly occurred at ~1.2 Ma, indicating that the Yangtze River channel was dragged southward with the further subsidence of the ancient Zhejiang–Fujian Uplift. This study reveals the southward migration process of the Yangtze River channel with the regional tectonic subsidence from the perspective of provenance evolution, which contributes to an understanding of when the Yangtze River channelized into the sea.
