The traditional water pollution treatment has the following shortcomings:

[0003] It is difficult to trace the pollution source: the existing water quality monitoring relies on fixed-point sampling, and the time and space coverage is insufficient, which makes it difficult to accurately locate the pollution source.

[0057] New data acquisition layer implemented

[0058] 210 wireless water quality sensor nodes were deployed in the Taihu Lake basin:

[0059] Monitoring indicators: pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, turbidity, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus (TP), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and heavy metal ions (lead, cadmium, mercury).

[0060] Monitoring results (partial data):

[0061] Average pH: 7.3 ± 0.4

[0062] Dissolved oxygen: 3.2 mg / L (lower than Class III water body standard ≥ 5 mg / L)

[0063] Total phosphorus: 0.18 mg / L (exceeding the standard by approximately 2 times; the Class III standard is 0.05 mg / L)

[0064] Ammonia nitrogen: 1.6 mg / L (exceeding the standard by approximately 1.6 times; the Class III standard is 1.0 mg / L)

[0065] COD: 35 mg / L (exceeding the standard by approximately 1.17 times; the Class III standard is 30 mg / L)

[0066] Drone hyperspectral imagery shows a high-density algal bloom zone within a 30 km² area in the lake's center, with a significantly increased NDVI value.

[0067] Upon connecting to the online monitoring platform for sewage discharge outlets, it was found that the total discharge of three companies was approximately 2,500 m³ / d, with ammonia nitrogen concentration of approximately 15 mg / L and total phosphorus concentration of approximately 2.5 mg / L.

[0068] Meteorological and hydrological interface data show:

[0069] Recent rainfall intensity: 20 mm / day

[0070] River flow rate: approximately 300 m³ / s

[0071] Data Management and Integration Layer Implementation

[0072] After data preprocessing, outliers of approximately 1.2% (mainly caused by sensor drift) were removed, and the missing data imputation rate was 100%.

[0073] After spatiotemporal fusion, a water quality heat map with a resolution of 1 km² was generated, clearly showing that the northwestern waters of Taihu Lake are the main pollution concentration area.

[0074] The pollution incident database retrieved 52 cases of algal blooms in Taihu Lake from 2015 to 2022 as a comparison sample.

[0075] Pollution source tracing analysis layer implementation

[0076] A two-dimensional shallow water equation + convection-diffusion model was constructed to simulate the diffusion process of pollutants over 7 days.

[0079] Pollution source B (urban domestic sewage discharge outlet): Contribution rate 35%, mainly contributing COD and ammonia nitrogen;

[0080] Pollution source C (agricultural non-point source runoff): Contribution rate 20%, mainly contributing total phosphorus and suspended particulate matter.

[0081] After 500 iterations of Monte Carlo simulation, uncertainty assessment showed that the confidence interval for the source tracing results was ±8%.

[0082] Ecological restoration decision-making level implementation

[0083] The remediation measures library was accessed, and the following were selected: constructed wetland (300 mu), aeration and oxygenation devices (20 sets), and flocculant addition (ferric chloride 0.5 mg / L).

[0084] Digital twin simulation prediction:

[0085] Three months later, dissolved oxygen increased to 5.8 mg / L;

[0086] Total phosphorus decreased to 0.09 mg / L;

[0087] Ammonia nitrogen decreased to 0.8 mg / L;

[0088] COD decreased to 25 mg / L.

[0089] The multi-objective optimization algorithm (NSGA-II) generates five schemes. The system recommends the combination of "constructed wetland + aeration and oxygenation", which has lower treatment costs and minimal ecological impact.

[0090] User interaction and visualization layer implementation

[0091] The GIS platform displays the location distribution of pollution sources, water quality heat maps, and diffusion simulation animations.

[0092] The decision-making interface compared five treatment options, and the managers chose the combination of "artificial wetland + aeration and oxygenation".

[0093] Early warning module: When the total phosphorus concentration exceeds 0.15 mg / L, an alarm will be automatically triggered and it will be recommended to start the emergency precipitant dosing.

[0094] After the repair is implemented, real-time monitoring and feedback are sent to the model to dynamically optimize subsequent measures.

[0095] Results Comparison (Before Implementation vs. 3 Months After Implementation)

[0096] Dissolved oxygen (DO): 3.2 → 5.8 mg / L (an increase of 81%)

[0097] Total phosphorus (TP): 0.18 → 0.09 mg / L (reduction of 50%)

[0098] Ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N): 1.6 → 0.8 mg / L (reduction of 50%)

[0099] COD: 35 → 25 mg / L (reduction of 28.6%)

[0100] Area affected by cyanobacteria blooms: 30 km² → 12 km² (a 60% reduction).

[0101] Example 2 (Application Case of Urban Waterways in Suzhou City)

[0102] Data acquisition layer implementation

[0103] Fifty sensor nodes were deployed in the main waterways of the urban area to monitor the following indicators: pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphorus (TP), and COD.

[0104] Monitoring data results:

[0105] Average pH: 7.1

[0106] Dissolved oxygen: 2.8 mg / L (Class III standard ≥ 5 mg / L, seriously low)

[0107] Ammonia nitrogen: 3.2 mg / L (exceeding the standard by approximately 3.2 times; Class III standard ≤ 1.0 mg / L)

[0108] Total phosphorus: 0.16 mg / L (exceeding the standard by approximately 3.2 times; Class III standard ≤ 0.05 mg / L)

[0109] COD: 45 mg / L (exceeds the standard by approximately 1.5 times; Class III standard ≤ 30 mg / L)

[0110] Drone patrols acquired thermal infrared images, showing an abnormal increase in water surface temperature of 2-3°C in a 1.5 km stretch of river, corresponding to the sewage outlet area.

[0111] Data Management and Integration Layer Implementation

[0112] Using the data preprocessing module, 1.5% of abnormal data were removed, and missing values ​​were filled in (mainly sensor signal loss at night).

[0113] By integrating monitoring results from 50 locations with UAV thermal infrared imagery, a 10 m resolution water quality distribution map was generated, revealing a distinct high-value zone of pollutant concentration in the middle and lower reaches of the river.

[0114] Historical databases were consulted for feature comparison of a pollution discharge case from a chemical plant in southern Jiangsu in 2018, confirming that the pollutants were mainly ammonia nitrogen and COD.

[0115] Pollution source tracing analysis layer implementation

[0116] Based on two-dimensional shallow water equations and a convection-diffusion model, the trajectory of pollutant diffusion within a river channel over 48 hours was simulated.

[0117] Source tracing and inversion results:

[0118] Pollution source A (industrial discharge outlet): Contribution rate 52%, mainly contributing COD and ammonia nitrogen;

[0119] Pollution source B (municipal sewage overflow outlet): Contribution rate 30%, mainly contributing ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus;

[0120] Pollution source C (rainwater runoff): Contribution rate 18%, mainly contributing to total phosphorus.

[0121] The Monte Carlo simulation was performed for 300 iterations with a confidence interval of ±10%, indicating that the source tracing results are highly reliable.

[0122] Ecological restoration decision-making level implementation

[0123] Call the restoration measures library and select the appropriate measures for urban river conditions:

[0124] Temporary aeration devices (10 sets)

[0125] Pipeline network scheduling (intercepting part of the overflow of domestic sewage)

[0126] Precipitating agent addition (polyaluminum chloride, dosage 0.3 mg / L)

[0127] Digital twin simulation prediction:

[0128] Within 2 weeks, dissolved oxygen can increase from 2.8 mg / L to 4.9 mg / L;

[0129] Ammonia nitrogen levels decreased from 3.2 mg / L to 1.9 mg / L.

[0130] COD can be reduced from 45 mg / L to 34 mg / L;

[0131] Total phosphorus can be reduced from 0.16 mg / L to 0.09 mg / L.

[0132] The recommended solution based on the multi-objective optimization results is "aeration + pipeline scheduling" because it has lower treatment costs (reduced chemical dosage) and significant short-term effects.

[0133] User interaction and visualization layer implementation

[0134] The GIS platform displays real-time pollution heat maps and flow field diffusion simulations, and pushes early warnings to the large screen of the municipal emergency command center.

[0135] Early warning module: When the ammonia nitrogen concentration is > 2.5 mg / L, a red warning is triggered, and the system automatically suggests starting aeration and adding chemicals.

[0136] The decision-making interface compared the three governance plans, and the management personnel adopted the "aeration + pipeline scheduling" measure.

[0137] After implementation, the sensor monitors data in real time and feeds it back to the model, automatically optimizing the aeration runtime.

[0138] Results and Benefits (Before Implementation vs. 2 Weeks After Implementation)

[0139] Dissolved oxygen (DO): 2.8 → 4.9 mg / L (75% increase)

[0140] Ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N): 3.2 → 1.9 mg / L (a decrease of 40.6%)

[0141] Total phosphorus (TP): 0.16 → 0.09 mg / L (a decrease of 43.8%)

[0142] COD: 45 → 34 mg / L (a decrease of 24.4%)

[0143] Frequency of alerts: reduced from 4 times per day to once per week (a reduction of approximately 80%).

[0144] Management efficiency: The visual interface reduces manual judgment time by 60%, and the decision response time is shortened from 2 hours to 30 minutes.

The water pollution source tracing analysis and ecological restoration decision support system according to claim 1, characterized in that: The pollution source tracing analysis layer includes a pollution propagation model module, which is based on a hydrodynamic model, a two-dimensional shallow water equation, a pollutant transport model, and a convection-diffusion equation, and supports the simulation of point source, area source and non-point source pollution. The source tracing and inversion module introduces machine learning methods, such as random forest, Bayesian inversion, and neural networks, to fit and invert monitoring data, identify potential pollution sources, and use spatiotemporal inversion algorithms to calculate the emission intensity and contribution rate of pollution sources. The uncertainty assessment module perturbs the input parameters through Monte Carlo simulation, assesses the confidence of the results, and combines Bayesian update methods to gradually correct model predictions, thereby enhancing credibility.

5. The water pollution source tracing analysis and ecological restoration decision support system according to claim 1, characterized in that: The ecological restoration decision-making layer includes a restoration measures library, physical restoration (aeration and oxygenation, interception dams, sediment dredging), chemical restoration (precipitant addition, modified adsorbents), and ecological restoration (constructed wetlands, ecological floating beds, microbial restoration, aquatic plant community construction); and a digital twin water environment module, which establishes a virtual water environment simulation platform to dynamically simulate the response process of water quality to different restoration measures and provide multi-timescale predictions. The multi-objective optimization decision-making module has the following objective functions: maximizing pollution reduction rate, minimizing governance cost, shortening remediation cycle, and minimizing ecological impact. The algorithm uses NSGA-II and MOEA / D evolutionary algorithms to generate the optimal solution set. The intelligent recommendation module matches the optimization results with the case knowledge base and recommends the most suitable governance solution based on user preferences.

6. The water pollution source tracing analysis and ecological restoration decision support system according to claim 1, characterized in that: The user interaction and visualization layer includes a GIS visualization platform that displays the distribution of pollution sources, water quality heat maps, and flow field simulation results. It supports multi-layer map overlay, including remote sensing images, pipeline distribution, and monitoring point locations. The decision support interface provides a scheme comparison and analysis function, allowing users to intuitively view the differences in cost, time, and effectiveness of different remediation measures. It also supports drag-and-drop operations, allowing users to combine measures and view prediction results in real time. The early warning and feedback module automatically alarms when water quality exceeds a preset threshold and pushes emergency response suggestions. After the repair is implemented, the real-time monitoring results are fed back to the model, automatically optimizing subsequent plans to form a closed-loop governance system. It supports multi-terminal access, including PC, mobile, and large-screen display, meeting the needs of management departments, researchers, and the public.
