Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of environmental monitoring, in particular to a regional total nitrogen non-point source pollution intensity analysis method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Total nitrogen is the sum of various forms of nitrogen (such as ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, organic nitrogen, etc.) in water bodies, and is one of the key pollutants leading to water eutrophication. Excessive nitrogen input into lakes, reservoirs or coastal waters through rivers can cause a large number of algae and other plankton to reproduce, reduce water dissolved oxygen, and deteriorate water quality, thereby affecting the survival and reproduction of aquatic organisms and disrupting the balance of the water ecosystem. Controlling river total nitrogen can effectively reduce the risk of water eutrophication and maintain the diversity of aquatic organisms and the stability of the ecosystem.

[0003] The main source of total nitrogen in water bodies is agricultural non-point source pollution, including rural domestic sewage discharge, planting non-point source pollution, aquaculture non-point source pollution, etc. These pollution sources are widely distributed in agricultural areas in river basins and have great dispersion, randomness and hysteresis, making it difficult to monitor and warn using point source (i.e. river discharge) monitoring methods, which has caused difficulties in preventing and controlling river total nitrogen pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to scientifically calculate the total nitrogen load caused by non-point source pollution to rivers based on river total nitrogen monitoring data and regional economic and social conditions to protect the water environment of the river basin and prevent water pollution.

[0004] The widely used mathematical models based on mechanism and machine learning methods based on data mining have high requirements for data and computing power, which makes it difficult to be widely applied. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present application provides a regional total nitrogen non-point source pollution intensity analysis method, which solves the problem that the prior art has high requirements for data and computing power and is difficult to be widely applied.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the application, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0020] Further, the total nitrogen discharge of the river outlet is calculated, comprising:

[0021] According to the monitoring data of the river outlet, the total nitrogen flux through the river outlet into the river water body in a year is calculated through monthly sewage discharge and total nitrogen concentration, and the total nitrogen discharge of the river outlet is obtained, and the calculation formula is:

[0022]

[0023] wherein, the total nitrogen discharge of the river outlet, the number of river outlets, the total number of river outlets, the first river outlet monthly total nitrogen concentration, the first river outlet monthly sewage discharge.

[0026]

[0027] wherein, the non-point source pollution inflow coefficient.

[0028] Further, the total nitrogen non-point source pollution intensity in the region is analyzed based on the non-point source pollution inflow coefficient, comprising:

[0030] If the total nitrogen change in the river is greater than zero and less than the total nitrogen discharge of the river pollution outlet, the non-point source pollution into river coefficient is greater than zero, indicating that the total nitrogen source of the research region is mainly point source;

[0031] If the total nitrogen change in the river is greater than zero and greater than the total nitrogen discharge of the river pollution outlet, the non-point source pollution into river coefficient is greater than zero, indicating that the total nitrogen source of the research region is mainly non-point source.
