- Abstract
An in-depth study of the temporal and spatial distribution of pollution loads can assist in the development of water pollution remediation. The research scope of this paper was the highly developed Wuhu City located south of the Yangtze River. Chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH3-H, and total phosphorus (TP) were chosen as the pollutant research objects of this study. Then, by combining the natural and social conditions within the scope of the study, a balanced system of pollution load generation and migration was described. A pollution load model of Wuhu City based on Load Calculator, MIKE 11, and ArcGIS was established. The results indicate that, in terms of the time distribution, the changes in the influx of the different pollutants were consistent. In terms of the spatial distribution, the major contributions to the annual pollution load were domestic pollution, urban surface runoff pollution, and poultry breeding pollution. The major contributors to the annual pollution load into the river were domestic pollution, urban surface runoff pollution, and sewage plant tail water pollution. This analysis provides references for the comprehensive management of local water environments.
