Surface Water Quality Assessment in Main Stream of Liaohe River

Abstract:

The objective of this research was to study the surface water quality and evolution of surface water environment in Liaohe River main stream. Results showed that the surface water quality was declining along main stream. It was better in flood reason than others. It was best in Defudian monitoring station and worst in Shuguangdaqiao monitoring station. This research would significantly improve the understanding of the evolution of surface water environment in Liaohe River main stream.Keywords: water quality assessment; Liaohe River; membership function
