Pollution Load Estimation of Weihe River Watershed above Linjiacun Section Based on Characteristic Section Load Method

Abstract:

Weihe River Watershed above Linjiacun Section is taken as the research objective in this paper and NH₃-N is chosen as the water quality parameter. According to the discharge characteristics of point source pollutions and non-point source pollutions, a new method to estimate pollution loads-characteristic section load method is suggested and point source pollution and non-point source pollution loads of Weihe River Watershed above Linjiacun Section are calculated in the rainy, normal and dry season in the year 2007. The results show that the monthly point source pollution loads of Weihe River Watershed above Linjiacun Section are discharged stably, the monthly non-point source pollution loads of Weihe River Watershed above Linjiacun Section change greatly, the non-point source pollution load proportions of total pollution load of NH₃-N are gradually decreased in the rainy, normal and wet periods.
