Abstract:
:The analysis to assess the water quality and potential ecological risks in sediments was carried out by means of the distribution characteristics of nutrient properties and heavy metals in water, and heavy metals in sediments from the Nanming River. The results from nutrient properties demonstrated that the majority of TN and TP exceeded the permissible limit and concentrated within the study area. The concentrations of heavy metal in water were lower than the permissible limits but may pose potential threat to aquatic ecosystems. Based on the potential ecological risk results of heavy metals in sediments, Cd posed risk to ecological environment, and the serious contaminations mainly existed in the center of Guiyang City. The multivariate statistical analyses were used to support the idea that the Upstream Area and Midstream Area were significantly dominated by NH4+, TP, TN and CODMn in water. Furthermore, landscape characteristics and hydrology condition better explained the certain trend of water quality. Finally, identifying relationship between nutrient properties and heavy metals that are key ecological components of ecosystem can potentially aid the advances for restoration of geochemical transformations and give rise to river restoration efforts.
