The inherent relationship between land use pattern and inflow water quality is essential for nonpoint source pollution study. Response of inflow river quality to land use pattern in Northern part of Lake Erhai Watershed was analyzed in aspects of land use composition and configuration using spatial analysis and statistical analysis methods. The results indicated that as land use composition indexes, average slope and vegetation area percentage had significant relationship with TN and TP of inflow rivers.

The obtained results indicated that inflow water quality showed a significant spatial difference, the inflow TP pollution in the western inflow rivers of Erhai Basin was serious. The major pollution indicators in the northern and southern inflow rivers (except for D3) were organic matter and nitrogen.
