Abstract

To reflect the water quality status of Danjiangkou reservoir tributaries, identify the main pollution factors, and compare pollution degree between tributaries. Principal component analysis (PCA) method is used to assess and explicate research task with annual mean values for 11 main water quality indicators of 16 priority tributaries measured in 2013. The results show that: The main pollution factors of Danjiangkou reservoir are oxygen-consuming pollutants and heavy metal, and the former is the dominant one. Shending, Sihe, Jianghe, Jianhe and Danjiang are heavily-polluted tributaries while Duhe, Jiangjun, Taogou, Hanjiang and Taohe are lightly-polluted tributaries.
