- Abstract:
-
Based on DEM and the survey data of land use and soil of Dongbeigou watershed, this paper combined GIS and MUSLE model to identify the critical non-point source pollution areas, and then graded the areas. The results showed that: (1) in descending order, the critical areas were ranged as low risk area, high risk area and moderate risk area. The critical areas mainly distributed along the river; (2) among the critical areas, the agricultural land took 37.3 percent of total agricultural land in the watershed, the proportion of the agricultural land increased significantly as the risk level upgraded, the agricultural lands distributing along the river were the main sources of the pollution, which was in accord with actual situation. The result can provide the basis for further pollution control. Combined with GIS technology, MUSLE model can rapidly identify the critical non-point source pollution areas. This method is scientific and reasonable, and it is of strong adaptability.
