Water-Quality Assessment on Butterfly Lake in Guangdong Ocean University, China

Abstract:

Butterfly Lake provides an important function of ecological environment and campus service for Guangdong Ocean University. Based on the data which were collected in March,May, September and December in 2013, the water environment quality of Butterfly Lake was assessed. The results show that the key pollutant of Butterfly Lake is total phosphorus (TP). The average concentration of TP is worse than the national quality standards for Class V. The water quality appears an obvious difference in different monitoring time. In September the water quality is the best. The average of single parameter pollution index (Sj) is 0.75 and the water quality belongs to good environment area. The average of integrated parameter pollution index (WQI) is 1.76 and the water quality belongs to light pollution area. In December the water quality is the worst. Sj and WQI is 1.14 and 3.14. The water quality belongs to light pollution area and moderate pollution area, respectively. The comprehensive trophic state index is 70.38 in December. The eutrophication level is hyper eutropher. The other monitoring time belongs to middle eutropher. In order to improve the water quality of Butterfly Lake,the valid measure is to strengthen the management of wastewater discharge from the laboratory and the dormitory.
