Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a method and related apparatus for detecting and tracing the source of sewage discharge outlets into rivers. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the expansion of industrial and agricultural activities, large amounts of industrial wastewater, domestic sewage, and non-point source pollutants enter water bodies (such as rivers, lakes, and oceans) through complex pipe networks, leading to frequent problems such as eutrophication and black and odorous water in some tributaries. Discharge outlets into rivers refer to the openings through which sewage is discharged directly or via pipes, ditches, canals, and other sewage channels into surface water bodies such as rivers, lakes, canals, channels, and reservoirs. These are important channels for pollutants to enter water bodies and have a direct impact on water quality. Therefore, investigating and rectifying discharge outlets into rivers is a fundamental task for improving the ecological environment quality of aquatic areas.
[0003] The investigation and remediation of sewage outlets into rivers involves four key stages: investigation, monitoring, source tracing, and remediation. However, for the investigation and source tracing stages, traditional investigation and source tracing techniques have long relied mainly on manual on-site surveys. Due to factors such as insufficient manpower and outdated equipment, there are significant technical bottlenecks: investigators need to patrol along the river on foot, with a daily investigation distance of less than 5 kilometers, and the missed detection rate for hidden outlets such as underground pipes and culverts is as high as 30%; when facing tidal rivers or intermittent discharge sources, the frequency of manual sampling is insufficient to capture pollution patterns; in the source tracing of pollution in complex industrial areas, relying solely on experience often leads to deviations in the identification of responsible parties. These technical bottlenecks seriously restrict the accuracy and timeliness of water area management. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] The method for detecting and tracing sewage outlets into rivers provided in this application can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The application environment shown depicts a scenario where the terminal communicates with the server via a network. The data storage system stores the data the server needs to process. This data storage system can be configured independently, integrated into the server, or located in the cloud or on another server. The terminal can send pending exploration and tracing requests to the server. Upon receiving the requests, the server acquires video footage captured by the drone flying along the target water area, identifies the sewage outlets discharging into the river, and determines whether the discharge is wastewater. For each outlet, the server acquires its location, discharge flow rate, pH value, and pollutant concentration. Based on the pH value and pollutant concentration, the server determines whether the discharge is wastewater and calculates the pollutant load. The server also acquires the fluorescence and isotope analysis results from three-dimensional fluorescence analysis of water samples from the target water area and the sewage outlets. The server then performs tracing based on both fluorescence and isotope analysis results. The server can feed back the exploration results (location of sewage outlets into rivers, identification results of whether the discharge is sewage, and pollutant load) and the source tracing results (derived from fluorescence analysis and isotope analysis) to the terminal.
[0042] In addition, in some embodiments, the method for detecting and tracing sewage outlets into rivers can also be implemented by a server or a terminal. For example, the terminal can directly process the detection and tracing requests to be processed, or the server can obtain the detection and tracing requests to be processed from the data storage system and process them.
[0043] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a method for detecting and tracing sewage outfalls into rivers is provided. This method is executed by computer equipment, specifically by a terminal or server alone, or by both a terminal and a server. In this embodiment, the method is applied to... Figure 1 The following steps are used as an example of a server in the example.
[0044] Step S1: Acquire video footage taken by the drone while it flies along the target water area, and identify the sewage outlet into the river; the sewage outlet into the river is used to discharge water into the target water area.
[0045] Step S2: For each of the sewage outfalls into the river, obtain the location, discharge flow rate, pH value and pollutant concentration of the sewage outfall. Based on the pH value and pollutant concentration of the sewage outfall, determine whether the discharge from the sewage outfall is sewage. Based on the discharge flow rate and pollutant concentration of the sewage outfall, calculate the pollutant load of the sewage outfall.
[0046] Step S3: Obtain the fluorescence analysis results and isotope analysis results of the sampled water samples from the target water area and the sampled water samples from the sewage outlet into the river, and trace the source based on the fluorescence analysis results and the isotope analysis results.
[0047] By implementing steps S1 to S3 above, this embodiment utilizes a drone to film the target water area. Based on the filmed video, sewage outfalls into the river are identified. For each sewage outfall, the location, discharge flow rate, pH value, and pollutant concentration are determined. Based on the pH value and pollutant concentration, it is determined whether the discharge is sewage, and based on the discharge flow rate and pollutant concentration, the pollutant load is determined. This completes the identification and investigation of each sewage outfall. Compared with manual investigation, this method can improve efficiency and accuracy. Then, three-dimensional fluorescence analysis and isotope analysis are performed on the sampled water samples from the target water area and the sewage outfalls to obtain fluorescence analysis results and isotope analysis results. Source tracing is performed based on the fluorescence analysis results and isotope analysis results, respectively, to complete the source tracing. Compared with manual source tracing, this method can improve efficiency and accuracy.
[0048] The following is a detailed description of a method for investigating and tracing the source of sewage outlets into rivers used in this embodiment, including the following steps.
[0049] (a) Determine the location of the outlet.
[0050] In this embodiment, the video captured by the UAV flying along the target water area is first obtained, and the video is identified to determine the sewage outlet into the river. The sewage outlet into the river is the discharge outlet, which is used to discharge water into the target water area.
[0051] This embodiment utilizes drone telemetry to determine sewage outfalls into rivers. Based on historical data analysis, a drone-based investigation method is employed. After launch, the drone flies at low altitude and low speed (flight altitude and speed determined by user needs) along the waterway, transmitting real-time images to a monitor. Based on the drone's live footage, manual identification is performed. If areas containing white cement bricks, black pipe-like objects, or other features resembling pipe openings or drainage ditches are identified as potential sewage outfalls, these areas are marked as suspected areas. The drone's location and latitude / longitude are recorded and marked on a map or drone app. The drone's flight altitude and speed are then reduced for close-range, multi-directional observation of the suspected areas. Manual identification is used to determine if these are indeed actual sewage pipes or drainage ditches, thus pinpointing the location of the sewage outfall. For suspected areas that cannot be identified by close-range, multi-directional drone observation, personnel are dispatched to the suspected areas for further on-site verification to confirm the location of the sewage outfall.
[0052] In this embodiment, acquiring a video taken by the drone while flying along the target water area and identifying the video to determine the sewage outlet into the river specifically includes: acquiring a first video taken by the drone while flying along the boundary line of the target water area at a first flight altitude and a first flight speed, identifying the first video to determine a suspected area, which is an area that may include the sewage outlet into the river; acquiring a second video taken by the drone while flying within the suspected area at a second flight altitude and a second flight speed, identifying the second video to determine the sewage outlet into the river, where the second flight altitude is lower than the first flight altitude and the second flight speed is lower than the first flight speed.
[0053] (ii) After determining the location of the outlet, a manual investigation is conducted to obtain the investigation results.
[0054] In this embodiment, for each sewage outfall into the river, the location, discharge flow rate, pH value, and pollutant concentration of the sewage outfall are obtained. Based on the pH value and pollutant concentration of the sewage outfall, it is determined whether the discharge from the sewage outfall is sewage. Based on the discharge flow rate and pollutant concentration of the sewage outfall, the pollutant load of the sewage outfall is calculated.
[0055] (1) Manual screening
[0056] After determining the location of the discharge outlet, manual inspection was conducted for outlets in major river sections and sections where remote measurement was not possible. At the outlet location, the latitude and longitude were recorded, the discharge flow rate was calculated on-site, and water samples were collected according to sampling regulations. These samples were then transported back to the laboratory. The pH and COD of the sampled water were determined according to water sample analysis standards. CrThe concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH3-N (ammonia nitrogen), TP (total phosphorus), and TN (total nitrogen) are as follows. pH can be measured on-site using a portable pH meter. The remaining indicators (i.e., COD...) Cr The concentrations of COD (NH3-N, TP, and TN) need to be sampled on-site and brought back to the laboratory for testing and analysis. Cr The concentration was determined according to the method in "Determination of Chemical Oxygen Demand in Water - Dichromate Method" (HJ 828-2017). A measured amount of potassium dichromate solution and sulfuric acid-silver sulfate reagent were added to the obtained water sample. The mixture was then heated under reflux for 2 hours (150℃) in a sealed container. After cooling, ferroin indicator was added, and titration was performed with ferrous ammonium sulfate standard solution (FAS) until the solution changed from yellow to blue-green and then to reddish-brown. The COD in the water sample was calculated based on the amount of FAS consumed. Cr Concentration. NH3-N concentration was determined according to the method in "Determination of Ammonia Nitrogen in Water - Nessler's Reagent Spectrophotometric Method" (HJ 535-2009). Different pretreatment methods were used depending on the turbidity of the water sample. If the water was highly turbid, the pH was adjusted to neutral before distillation. The distilled water sample was then treated with Nessler's reagent, shaken well, and allowed to stand for 10 minutes. The absorbance was measured at 420 nm, and the NH3-N concentration was calculated using a standard curve. TP concentration was determined according to the method in "Determination of Total Phosphorus in Water - Ammonium Molybdate Spectrophotometric Method" (GB / T 11893-1989). A water sample was treated with potassium persulfate solution, and digested under high temperature and pressure for 30 minutes (120℃). After digestion, the pH was adjusted to neutral, and ammonium molybdate and ascorbic acid reagent were added sequentially. The sample was shaken well, allowed to stand for 15 minutes, and the absorbance was measured at 700 nm. The TP concentration was calculated using a standard curve. TN concentration was determined according to the method in "Determination of Total Nitrogen in Water by Alkaline Potassium Persulfate Digestion Ultraviolet Spectrophotometry" (HJ 636-2012). Water samples were taken, alkaline potassium persulfate solution was added, and the samples were digested in an autoclave for 30 minutes (120℃). After cooling, hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH to 1-2 to remove carbonate interference. The absorbance was measured at wavelengths of 220nm and 275nm. Turbidity interference was subtracted by the dual-wavelength method to calculate the TN concentration.
[0057] In this embodiment, the location is defined by latitude and longitude, and the pollutant concentrations include chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus (TP), and total nitrogen (TN). The COD concentration is obtained by analyzing the water samples from the sewage discharge outlet using the dichromate method. The ammonia nitrogen concentration is obtained by analyzing the water samples from the sewage discharge outlet using Nessler's reagent spectrophotometry. The TN concentration is obtained by analyzing the water samples from the sewage discharge outlet using ammonium molybdate spectrophotometry. The TN concentration is obtained by analyzing the water samples from the sewage discharge outlet using alkaline potassium persulfate digestion ultraviolet spectrophotometry.
[0058] (2) Wastewater identification
[0059] After measuring the pH value and pollutant concentration of the discharge outlet water sample, the pH value and pollutant concentration are compared with the specified values for pH value and pollutant concentration in the "Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard" (GB 3838-2002) and the "Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard" (GB 8978-1996) to determine whether the discharge outlet discharges wastewater and whether it meets the discharge standards.
[0060] At this point, determining whether the discharge from the river outlet is sewage is based on the pH value and pollutant concentration. Specifically, this involves comparing the pH value and pollutant concentration of the discharge outlet with the specified pH value and pollutant concentration values, respectively, to determine if the discharge is sewage. The specified pH value and pollutant concentration values have different values at different levels. In this embodiment, an appropriate level is determined according to the water quality assessment requirements of the target water area. Further, the specified pH value and pollutant concentration values are determined based on the appropriate level. If the pH value is greater than the specified pH value or the concentration of any pollutant is greater than the corresponding specified pollutant concentration value, the discharge is considered sewage. Further, based on the "Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard," it is determined whether the discharge does not meet the discharge standards.
[0061] (3) Pollutant load calculation
[0062] Based on the drainage flow data obtained from on-site measurements, the drainage volume of the outlet can be calculated as follows: drainage volume = drainage flow × time. For each pollutant concentration, the pollutant load of the outlet can be calculated according to the pollutant inflow (i.e., pollutant load) = pollutant concentration × drainage volume. The pollutant load includes the pollutant loads corresponding to the concentrations of chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen. Based on the pollutant loads of different outlets, targeted data support can be provided when local environmental departments formulate management and remediation plans for sewage outlets into rivers.
[0063] In this embodiment, the pollutant load of the sewage outlet into the river is calculated based on the discharge flow rate and pollutant concentration. Specifically, this includes: calculating the product of the discharge flow rate of the sewage outlet into the river and the target time to obtain the discharge volume of the sewage outlet into the river, and calculating the product of the discharge volume of the sewage outlet into the river and the pollutant concentration to obtain the pollutant load of the sewage outlet into the river at the target time.
[0064] (III) Calculation of pollutant load in fish ponds.
[0065] (1) Fishpond identification
[0066] This embodiment uses satellite imagery interpretation to identify fishponds, acquiring high-resolution multispectral satellite remote sensing images of the surveyed area. The original images (i.e., multispectral satellite remote sensing images) undergo preprocessing, specifically based on the size and orientation of the surveyed area, employing methods including radiometric calibration, atmospheric correction, and geometric correction to ensure accurate physical meaning and spatial alignment of the data. Multiband fusion is then used to enhance the texture details of the original images. Multiband fusion involves merging image data from multiple bands to generate richer and clearer images. Pixel-based methods (such as weighted average and principal component analysis) and feature-based methods (such as edge enhancement fusion and texture feature fusion) can be used for multiband fusion. After preprocessing, target information is extracted based on spectral and spatial features. Finally, the interpretation results are output on the ArcGIS platform. Based on the interpretation results, manual on-site verification is performed to determine the distribution, number, and area of fishponds within a 2km radius (or other values) of the target water area.
[0067] (2) Pollutant load calculation
[0068] according to The total pollutant generation can be calculated, where n is the number of fishponds. The total pollutant generation is the pollutant load from fish farming entering the river around the target water area (i.e., the pollutant load from fish farming). When calculating the nitrogen and phosphorus generation of the i-th fishpond, refer to the "Agricultural Pollution Source Census Handbook". First, based on the fish species in the i-th fishpond and the province where the i-th fishpond is located, determine the pollution production and discharge coefficients of the freshwater aquaculture pollution source. Further refer to the "Agricultural Pollution Source Census Handbook", and then, based on the pollution production and discharge coefficients of the freshwater aquaculture pollution source, determine the first nitrogen and first phosphorus generation of the i-th fishpond. Refer to the "China Feed..." The "Composition and Nutritional Value Table" first determines the composition and digestibility reference of the fish feed in the i-th fishpond. The fish feed composition includes nitrogen and phosphorus. Then, the feed usage amount × nitrogen amount × (1 - digestibility reference) is calculated to obtain the second nitrogen production of the i-th fishpond. The feed usage amount × phosphorus amount × (1 - digestibility reference) is calculated to obtain the second phosphorus production of the i-th fishpond. The sum of the first and second nitrogen production amounts of the i-th fishpond is calculated to obtain the nitrogen production of the i-th fishpond. The sum of the first and second phosphorus production amounts of the i-th fishpond is calculated to obtain the phosphorus production of the i-th fishpond.
[0069] In this embodiment, after calculating the pollutant load of the sewage outlet into the river, the method for detecting and tracing the source of the sewage outlet into the river in this embodiment further includes:
[0070] (1) Obtain multispectral satellite remote sensing images of the exploration area, which includes the target water area and the land area surrounding the target water area, such as the land area 2km around the target water area.
[0071] (2) Preprocess and target identification of multispectral satellite remote sensing images to obtain the distribution, number and area of fish ponds in the land area. Preprocessing includes radiometric calibration, atmospheric correction, geometric correction and multiband fusion.
[0072] (3) Calculate the nitrogen and phosphorus production of each fishpond, and calculate the sum of the nitrogen and phosphorus production of all fishponds to obtain the pollutant load of fish farming (i.e., total pollutant production).
[0073] (iv) Conduct source tracing analysis to analyze the sources of dissolved organic matter and nitrogen in the water.
[0074] This embodiment obtains the fluorescence analysis results and isotope analysis results of the sampled water samples from the target water area and the sewage discharge outlet into the river. The source is traced based on the fluorescence analysis results and the isotope analysis results.
[0075] (1) Use three-dimensional fluorescence analysis to determine the source of dissolved organic matter in water.
[0076] Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a mixture of different organic substances with relative molecular masses between 100 and 300,000. Microbial metabolic activities in nature are closely related to DOM. Microorganisms not only obtain energy and carbon sources from DOM in the environment, but also produce new DOM and release it into the environment during their metabolic activities. Fluorescence spectroscopy is an important parameter for characterizing DOM in natural water bodies and evaluating its source. DOM from different sources has different fluorescent groups, which are mainly divided into two categories: protein-like and humic substance-like. In recent years, three-dimensional fluorescence analysis (i.e., three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy 3D-EEM) has been successfully applied to the source-tracing and qualitative analysis of DOM in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and wastewater treatment plants.
[0077] During the implementation process, water samples were collected from some target water areas and sewage outfalls into the river. Three-dimensional fluorescence analysis was conducted to analyze the sources of dissolved organic matter. In the spectral diagram, different positions of fluorescence peaks corresponded to different types of organic matter. The presence of a tyrosine-like peak (Peak B) corresponds to microbial metabolites and fresh organic matter, indicating the presence of microbial activity in the water, possibly in the early stages of sewage discharge or organic matter decomposition. The presence of a tryptophan-like peak (Peak T) corresponds to protein-like substances and bioactive organic matter, indicating the presence of bioactive substances in the water, possibly as a result of sewage discharge or biological activity. The presence of a fulvic acid-like peak (Peak A) corresponds to terrestrial humic substances and long-chain aromatic hydrocarbon structures, indicating terrestrial input in the water, possibly as a result of soil leaching or vegetation decomposition. The presence of a humic acid-like peak (Peak C) corresponds to highly humified substances and complex macromolecular organic matter, indicating the presence of highly humified organic matter in the water, possibly as a result of natural degradation. The source of organic matter can be further determined by characteristic indices. For the fluorescence index (FI), FI≈1.2-1.5 indicates that it may come from microbial sources (such as sewage or anthropogenic factors), while FI≈1.7-2.0 indicates that it may come from terrestrial humus (such as soil leaching or natural factors). For the humification index (HIX), HIX>10 indicates that it may come from highly humified sources (such as natural degradation or natural factors), while HIX<4 indicates that it may come from fresh organic matter (such as domestic sewage or anthropogenic factors). For the biomass index (BIX), BIX>1 indicates that it may be dominated by microbial activity (anthropogenic factors), while BIX<0.7 indicates that it may be dominated by terrestrial input (natural factors).
[0078] (2) Nitrogen isotope tracing
[0079] Nitrogen from different sources in the aquatic environment exhibits stable isotopic compositions within specific ranges, thus serving as an effective indicator for identifying nitrogen sources. At the isotopic level, nitrate nitrogen can be further differentiated because nitrate from different sources has different nitrogen and oxygen isotope values. Sampling nitrogen and oxygen isotope values in nitrate and further determining the source of nitrogen in the water body using a dual isotope tracer method is widely used both domestically and internationally.
[0080] During the implementation process, water samples were collected from some target water areas and sewage outfalls into the river. Nitrogen and oxygen dual isotope measurements were performed. The collected water samples were filtered and stored at low temperatures. After removing interfering ions, nitrates in the water samples were converted into N₂O gas through chemical reduction or bacterial methods.
