Title: Study on flux of pollutants discharged into Taihu Lake through main inflow river channels
Abstract: According to the hydrological data for a wet year (1995), a normal year (1988), and a dry year (1971) and the data of pollutant receiving capacity of main river channels in the Taihu Lake Basin, the water quantity and quality model for river channels in the plain river network area of the Taihu Lake Basin and the wastewater load model for the river basin, which had been calibrated and verified, were employed for calculation of the lake inflows through different river channels and their pollutant concentrations for different seasons of each typical year. Based on the calculated results, the flux of pollutants through main inflow river channels of the Taihu Lake was calculated. In combination with the flow direction in the river network, it is concluded that the flux of pollutants through the Zhihu Harbor is of the greatest influences, which mainly transfers pollutants from Wuxi City.
