Evaluation of Soil and Irrigation Water Quality in Caohai Lakeside Zone
Due to the rapid population growth and over-application of fertilizers in the Caohai surrounding farmlands, controlling the non-point source pollution in the Caohai Lakeside Zone is significant for the local ecology balance and human health safety. A total of 54 soil and 24 irrigation water samples...

These results showed that the total amounts of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and effective nutrient content in the Caohai Lakeside Zone were all at a rich level according to Chinese soil nutrient grade standard; the content of lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and arsenic (As) in the soil all exceeds the safety standard of Chinese classification of soil environmental quality assessment.
