The water quality of the Tianzhuang Reservoir and its inflows were assessed with the single factor index method to identify the main pollution factor of the reservoir. The spatial-temporal distribution of nitrogen were analyzed to gross judge the main pollution sources. The results indicate NO 3 --N accounts for more than 65% of the TN in the Tianzhuang Reservoir. The water quality cannot meet Ⅴ grade of the Environmental Quality Standards for surface Water for NH 3 -N and TN exceeding the respective standard. The NO 3 --N concentration of the reservoir equals to that of the inflows which affect by non-point source pollution (NPS) from agricultural areas. Therefore NPS is the main pollution source for NO 3 --N of the reservoir. In addition, the bottom sediments are the important pollution source for NH 3 -N. The results can aid in identifying the key pollutants and their sources of the reservoir.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
