[0060] In the present application, environmental studies show that the degree of lake nutrition is closely related to total nitrogen, total phosphorus and chlorophyll a; and the existing evaluation methods of the degree of lake nutrition are also mostly based on these three indicators. Specifically, the threshold of the degree of lake nutrition is generally listed in table form; but in most cases, the observation values of the lake do not meet the threshold values listed in the table, which makes it difficult to effectively evaluate the degree of lake nutrition. On the other hand, the eutrophication index based on these three environmental variables often needs to determine the weight manually, which makes the evaluation results have a certain subjectivity and brings difficulties to the development of management measures. The present application overcomes the above two shortcomings and proposes a new method.

[0061] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the beneficial effects that the present application makes full use of the statistical relationship of objective observation data, and almost has no step of artificial subjective intervention, which overcomes the shortcomings of strong subjectivity of the existing methods and is easy to popularize in the determination of the water quality management target of each lake.

[0072] 1-4) The amount of total nitrogen entering the lake in the previous year of the lake is collected and determined as 3280 tons, and the amount of total phosphorus entering the lake is collected and determined as 932 tons.

[0073] Step 2) The 656 sets of chlorophyll a observation values are arranged from small to large, and the rank k of each observation value is recorded, and the converted value of each set of chlorophyll a observation values is calculated by the following formula:

[0074]

[0075] The observed values of total nitrogen and total phosphorus are converted by the same method, and

[0076] Step 3) The Kendall rank correlation coefficient between the converted total nitrogen and total phosphorus observation values is calculated​​​​​​​​​ In this example, 0.76; the equation is solved by finite volume method:

[0077]

[0078] wherein:

[0079]

[0080] In this example, 1.32. The joint distribution function of total nitrogen and total phosphorus is obtained as:

[0081]

[0082] Step 4) Substitute the 656 groups of total nitrogen and total phosphorus converted total phosphorus observation values into the above formula to obtain the corresponding 656 groups of values, and the corresponding random variable is denoted as ; and calculate its Kendall rank correlation coefficient with the converted chlorophyll a ; in this example, 0.85.

[0091] Step 7) Compare the nutrition index corresponding to the 656 groups of observation values with the nutrition index threshold value respectively to determine their nutrition state.

[0092] ​​Step 8) According to the score of the lake nutrition status obtained in the last step, the score of all observation values of the lake in the last year is assigned, wherein the score of the oligotrophic state is -1, the score of the mesotrophic state is 0, the score of the eutrophic state is 1, and the score of the state higher than the eutrophic state is 2. Further, the average score of all observation values of the lake in the last year is calculated; in this case, the average score is -0.16, which is between -0.5 and 0.5, so the maximum allowable amount of total nitrogen and total phosphorus into the lake in this year can be used as the amount of total nitrogen and total phosphorus into the lake in the last year, i.e. 3280 tons and 932 tons, respectively.
