Abstract
The urban black and odorous water bodies affect the daily life of urban residents, destroy the aquatic ecosystem and damage the image of the city. This research used the evaluation method of black and odorous water body proposed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the People’s Republic of China (MOHURD) to evaluate the water quality of 50 key creeks (53 sections) in Guangzhou in 2016 and 2017 and analyzed the spatial distribution of black and odorous water bodies and their changes over time. The results showed that the water quality of Conghua District, Panyu District, Nansha District, and Yuexiu District was relatively good, while the water quality of Baiyun District, Haizhu District, Huadu District, Huangpu District, Liwan District, Tianhe District, and Zengcheng District was relatively poor. Compared with 2016, the water quality of creeks in Huangpu District and Baiyun District deteriorated in 2017, while the water quality of creeks in Tianhe District, Liwan District, and Huadu District improved. The water quality of creeks in other districts did not change significantly. In 2017, ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphorus (TP), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) content decreased, and dissolved oxygen (DO) content increased compared to 2016. In 2017, the number of black-odor water bodies was greatly reduced, and the water quality of creeks was generally improved. The results can provide a reference for the treatment of the black and odorous creeks in Guangzhou.
