- Abstract:
-
Generalized Watershed Loading Functions (GWLF) was employed to estimate dissolved nitrogen (DN) load and perform source apportionment in Shahe Watershed from 2006 to 2012. The seasonal variation of pollution source was also analyzed based on model results. Satisfactory performance of GWLF was revealed by the ENS and R2 of greater than 0.6 in calibrating and validating streamflow and DN. The result indicated that the nonpoint source pollution had the highest ratio of the annual average DN load, accounting for 81.6%. Among all the land uses, farmlands contributed most to DN load in Shahe watershed, indicating that agricultural activities dominated by human were the major contributor of nonpoint source pollution. Besides, seasonal differences of the contribution ratio from DN pollution source were significant. Runoff was the major pollution source in the wet season; however, septic system and point source were more significant in the dry season. In order to efficiently reduce and control nitrogen pollution in Shahe Watershed, it is necessary to consider the difference of pollution source constitution between wet season and dry season with respect to the formulation of pollution reduction plan and control measure preference.
