Temporal and spatial changes of water quality in intensively developed urban rivers and water environment improvement: a case study of the Longgang River in Shenzhen, China.

The water quality status, spatial and temporal change processes, and water environment improvement process of urban rivers are valuable lessons to be learned under the sustainable development strategy. This study aims to reveal the water environment improvement process of intensively developed urban rivers, elucidate the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of major pollutants, and provide recommendations for their water environment management. Water quality data from eight monitoring sites (2007-2020) in the Longgang River basin in Shenzhen, China, and comprehensive pollution index method (CPI), modified comprehensive pollution index method (M-CPI), and Pearson correlation analysis method were used for comprehensive analysis.

Purification performance from bypass ecological treatment systems treating WWTPs effluents and improvement of water quality in receiving rivers: A case study in southern China.

Effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is the main source of pollution in rivers in developing countries. In this case study, three bypass ecological treatment systems along urban rivers achieved high removal efficiencies for chemical oxygen demand (COD; 55.7-64.

[Pollution Characterization and Comprehensive Water Quality Assessment of Rain-source River: A Case Study of the Longgang River in Shenzhen].

Rain-source urban rivers are an important part of the urban ecosystem. Due to the small water environment capacity and the rapid development of the regional economy and society, they are vulnerable to serious pollution. The goal of this study was to identify the main pollution characteristics of river water quality and to carry out a scientific comprehensive water quality assessment.

Effects of air quality and vegetation on algal bloom early warning systems in large lakes in the middle-lower Yangtze River basin.

Studies of algal bloom early warning systems have rarely paid attention to the dynamics of excessive proliferation of phytoplankton (EPP), which occurs prior to algal blooms, or to the sensitivity of a lake to EPP based on multiple environmental factors. In this study, we investigated EPP dynamics in large lakes and identified major factors that influenced the lake's vulnerability to EPP, to improve algal bloom early warning systems. High temporal moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) images and multi-source daily site monitoring data of large lakes in the middle-lower Yangtze River basin were analyzed.

[Allelopathic Effects and Allelochemicals of on and ].

The allelopathic effects of on algal growth were investigated and potential allelochemicals secreted by were analyzed. were co-cultivated with different initial concentrations (10, 10, 10, 10, and 10 ind.·L) of and .
