Spatiotemporal Patterns of Ammonia Nitrogen and Chemical Oxygen Demand in the Huaihe River–Hongze Lake System (Eastern China)
Understanding variations in contaminant concentrations and exploring their driving factors are essential for pollution control and water environment improvement. The Huaihe River Basin, as an important region in the eastern region of China, has attracted much attention to its water environment issues in recent years. Therefore, an in-depth analysis of spatiotemporal patterns of water quality parameters was carried out on the Huaihe River–Hongze Lake system, for the period 1998–2018, using the Mann–Kendall test (MKT) and wavelet transforms (WTs). Significant decrease trends of ammonia nitrogen (AN) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations were detected in the Huaihe River (HR) before 2008 using the MKT. High concentration in the contaminant load was a result of the effect of increased construction and decreased forest on increasing input of pollutants during this period. The results of the WT showed how factors (e.g., streamflow and water temperature), except land use, affect the variations in AN and COD concentrations. The comparison of spatiotemporal patterns of AN and COD between the HR and Hongze Lake (HL) showed their differences in contaminant transport regimes. The contaminants were rapidly transported downstream along the HR with high streamflow during the wet season, while these in the HL were less responsive due to the long residence time of the water body. In addition, rebounds of contaminant concentrations occurred many times at the confluence between the HR and the HL due to strong river–lake interactions, especially in the flood season. These results have implications for future water environment management in the Huaihe River Basin and in similar settings worldwide.
