Application of Water Quality Modeling in Land-Use and Land-Cover Change

Abstract:

Many factors can impact water quality, such as rainfall, topography and soil. These factors are usually naturally formed. In these factors, Land-Use is closely related with human production and living which people can change. It is one of the most key factors influencing the river water quality. With the development of computer technology, it is an important direction of researching Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC) in the application of water quality modeling. This paper analyzes the relationship between land-use change and the water quality, and introduces the common used water quality model.
