Water Quality Evaluation of the Middle and Lower Reaches of Hanjiang River Based on Comprehensive Water Quality Identification Index by MA Jingjiu, YU Ting, CHEN Yanfei, YAO Huaming, LI Yang

“…Moreover,NH₃-N influences the water quality of Yujiahu section in the middle reaches greatly, and TP is the limiting factor for the comprehensive water quality of Luohanzha and Huangzhuang sections in the lower reaches.In terms of space, the water quality of Shenwan in the middle and lower reaches of Hanjiang River is the best,and that of Shilou is the worst.In terms of time,the overall water quality of the middle and lower reaches of Hanjiang River improved constantly from 2001 to 2014.The results can serve as theoretical basis for water pollution control in this basin.Although consistent results were obtained by all the evaluation methods,the comprehensive index method contains more information,which can fully present the number of over-standard items and the pollution degree of each section.Consequently,it is suggested to be widely popularized and applied.…”
