Research on Reservoir Emergency Dispatching under Sudden Water Pollution Incident——A Case Study of Hongshui River in the Upper Reaches of the Pearl River by BIAN Kaixuan, HUANG Qiang, YANG Yuanyuan, LIU Dengfeng, LIU Dong, HAN Zhiming, WAN Xin

“…It is extremely important to study the movement and diffusion process of water pollutants andthe countermeasures for sudden water pollution incident in this basin for water supply security.Assuming that an emergency event of substandard sewage discharging occurs approximately 12 kmdownstream of Longtan Reservoir (in Tian'e County, Guangxi) during the dry season, this paperformulates a reservoir emergency dispatching plan set, and simulates the movement process ofpollutants by the water quality model in the EIAW11 software package, and the concentration changeprocess of pollutants with different concentrations (taking BOD as an example)under differentdownstream sections and different river flows. …”

Health Evaluation of Fenghe River Based on AHP-Fuzzy Mathematical Model and Item-by-Item Evaluation Method by ZHANG Zeyang, LIU Qiang, WANG Gang, XU Ziwei

“…This paper takes Fenghe River in Langfang City as the research object to conduct river health evaluation,which is expected to provide a direction for the future health management of Fenghe River and achieve the goal of healthy development of the water ecology of local rivers.On the basis of the relatively perfect evaluation standard,the scientific and reasonable health evaluation of Fenghe River is carried out by the item-by-item evaluation method and the AHP-fuzzy mathematical model,which is suitable for the local actual situation.An evaluation system is constructed,which consists of four criterion layers covering “basin”,“water”,“biology”,and social service functions and 12 subordinate index layers.The evaluation results show that Fenghe River is healthy according to the item-by-item evaluation method.In the evaluation of the AHP-fuzzy mathematical model,Fenghe River is “very healthy”,with a grade of 0.411 0.By this method,the grade of “healthy” is 0.343 8,and the grades of 0.223 9,0.021 3,and 0 denote the health status of “sub-healthy”,“unhealthy”,and “bad”,respectively.The Fenghe River Basin in Langfang Economic and Technological Development Zone has poor performance in terms of riparian bandwidth,sediment pollutants,and water quality.The proposed evaluation method can provide a reference for the health evaluation of rivers heavily influenced by cities and artificial interventions.…”

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.…”
