Analysis and Evaluation of Agricultural Non-point Source Pollution Sources in Four Cities in the Pearl River Delta by XIA Lijia, YU Muqin, YAN Meng, JIANG Yu, XIONG Jing

“…Based on the 2018 statistical yearbook,this paper carries out the statistics and analysis on the agricultural non-point source pollution of the four major economic cities,namely Guangzhou,Dongguan,Shenzhen and Foshan in the Pearl River Delta by the inventory analysis method.The study found that:In 2018,the four cities in the Pearl River Delta produced 137 179.3 tons of COD,19 345.5 tons of TN,2 865.2 tons of TP,and 2 926.4 tons of NH⁺₄-N from agricultural non-point source pollution,among which the COD is considered as the primary pollutant,mainly from livestock and poultry breeding,while TN,NH⁺₄-N and TP mainly come from rural life and planting industry.In terms of regions,the pollutant emission intensity of Foshan is 427.42 kg/hm²,which is 1.5 times that of Guangzhou,ranking first among the four cities.The comprehensive water quality index caused by agricultural non-point source pollution in Guangzhou and Foshan is both greater than 4,so the two cities are considered as severely polluted areas,with heavy pressure to reduce agricultural non-point source pollution,while Dongguan and Shenzhen are lightly polluted areas.…”
