Water quality parameters included pH, Temperature, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Chemical Oxygen Demand (CODMn), permanganate index, Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Phosphorus (TP), and NH3-N were analyzed. These water quality parameters were surveyed in 2012 on a monthly basis.Most of them met the Class Ⅲ level of Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water excepting the Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus.The results show that the phenomenon of eutrophication existed in the the Jinshan Lake in 2012.
