Spatial and Temporal Variance Analysis of Water Quality Purification in Linluo Artificial Wetland

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigated whether differences exist in the surface water quality when the wetland was under the management of different organizations through factor analysis. Factor scores suggest that overall there is a regular reduction of nutrient sources BOD, COD, TKN, TN, NH3-N, NO2-N and fecal pollution in this wetland. The nutrient content is the highest at the water inlet and gradually decreases over densely planted zone I, the open water zone, densely planted zone II and the discharge orifice, reaching the minimum level at the outlet. The influence factors of suspended solids TB and SS exhibit irregular variation in the different water bodies. Cluster analysis is conducted based on water quality using data collected between 2008 and 2012. Results reveal that regardless of wet or dry seasons, similar water quality is observed in the open water zone and densely planted zone II. Water quality at the inlet resembles that in densely planted zone I.
