Water quality improvement measures at the Yagang cross-section in the Pearl River Delta based on the calculation of excessive pollutant fluxes

The aim of this study was to quantify the sources of pollution in the Yagang River Basin. A 1-D hydrodynamic model and a 1-D water quality model were combined with the excessive pollutant flux analysis method to calculate pollution data of the Yagang area. The results showed that upstream pollution...
