Comparative Study on Pollutant Carrying Capacity of Plain Sluice-controlled River under Different Water Diversion Scale by YU Ting, CHEN Yanfei, ZHOU Chi, WU Xuejie, ZHANG Xiulian, CHEN Yunmei, CHEN Xiaoqun

“…Water pollutant carrying capacity refers to the maximum allowable pollutant carrying capacity in water body on the basis of meeting the water environmental quality standard of water function area.The calculation of pollutant carrying capacity is of great practical significance to the rational development & utilization and effective protection of water resources.Water conservancy projects such as sluice gates in rivers and lakes will change the hydrological process of rivers and lakes,thus affecting the pollutant carrying capacity of rivers and lakes.Taking the Tongshun River,a typical sluice-controlled river seriously disturbed by human beings,as the research object,this paper analyzes the pollutant carrying capacity of the main stream of Tongshun River under three conditions,namely 10 m³/s,13 m³/s and 15 m³/s,of the intake flow of Zekou sluice by the model method and pollution load method.The results show that different diversion scales have different effects on the pollutant carrying capacity of sluice-controlled river,and there is no complete positive correlation under the restriction of multiple parameters.With the continuous progress of water pollution control projects,the larger the scale of river diversion,the smaller the amount of pollutants need to be reduced.The calculation scheme presented in this paper can provide the basis for the establishment of scientific and feasible sluice dam regulation rules in Tongshun River,and also offer countermeasures and measures for river regulation.…”

“…IntroductionThe coastal waters of the Leizhou Peninsula, as an important ecological transition zone in the northern South China Sea, face water quality issues that urgently require effective monitoring methods.MethodsBased on data from 188 stations across four seasons from 2020-2024, this study innovatively proposes a quantile statistical classification method based on mean and standard deviation, and compares results with typical bays at similar latitudes globally.ResultsThe research classifies regional water spectral types into four categories: Type I (17.22%) with high reflection narrow peaks at 570 nm; Type II (35.10%) featuring broad peaks at 540-560 nm; Type III (27.81%) showing gentle distribution across 500-570 nm; and Type IV (19.87%) with decreasing reflectance as wavelength increases, peaking around 500 nm.DiscussionResults indicate this region is dominated by mixed turbid waters (Types II and III accounting for 62.91%), providing scientific basis for water quality monitoring, aquaculture planning, algal bloom identification, and marine functional zoning, thus promoting regional marine ecological protection and sustainable resource utilization.…”
