Abstract

Hainan Island, China’s second largest island, is located in the tropics and its rivers are significantly affected by precipitation. With the construction of free trade port with Chinese characteristics, Hainan Island’s industry, agriculture, tourism and urbanization have developed in an all-round way. With the rapid development of economy, water environment ecology has been destroyed. Based on the two seasons of drought and rain, this paper took Ningyuan River and Wanquan River as the research object to study the spatial and temporal distribution of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in the rivers entering the sea in Hainan, and found that the concentration of nutrients in Ningyuan River was higher than that in Wanquan River. The total nitrogen pollution in dry season was higher than that in rainy season, and that in tributaries was higher than that in main stream. The maximum nitrogen content in Ningyuan River reached 2.99 mg/L and 2.37 mg/L in the dry season and rainy season, and human activities were the main reason for the increase of nutrient concentration.
