The water environmental carrying capacity (WECC) of a city can demonstrate a balance between the level of exploitation of the local water resources and the population growth and concomitant socio-economic development. To begin with, the definition of WECC was elaborated. Combined with hydraulic, hydrologic and water quality data, a one-dimensional water quality model was subsequently applied to simulate the water pollutants (chemical oxygen demand (COD)) in Tieling City. Then, a multi-objective model was applied to explore WECC. Economy, demography, and contaminant were selected as goals, taking into account the constraints of macroeconomic aggregates, water supply, water quality, and population. The results showed WECC could nearly carry all planned gross domestic product (GDP), population in the planning years 2015, 2020, and 2025 with the maximum COD of 30,681.7 t, but not for the condition of maximum COD of 15,709.0 t. That is, COD overload would occur if GDP and population develop as planned. Some measures must be taken to improve WECC in Tieling City, which are valuable for supporting the adjustment and planning for social-economic development.

Most water bodies are currently used as receptors for pollutants coming mainly from the industrial and domestic sectors. The Biobío river is subjected to multiple anthropogenic pressures such as industrial water supply, drinking water, hydroelectric power generation, agriculture, and the final receptor body of a large amount of industrial and urban waste, pressures that will intensify due to the decrease in water flow as a result of climate change. In this context, organic contamination has been found mainly from sewage discharges and oxidizable waste discharges generated by industrial processes. In this sense, the objective of this research is to determine the Biological Oxygen Demand Loading Capacity (LC) in a basin with a low density of water quality data subjected to strong anthropogenic pressures. To estimate the carrying capacity in a section of the Biobío River, the water quality model River and Stream Water Quality Model- Qual2K version 2.11b8, developed by Chapra, was used. This model solves the Streeter–Phelps equation, proposing an analytical expression to relate the dissolved oxygen (DO) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) variables. These variables were modeled for different critical scenarios of minimum flows in return periods of 5, 50, and 100 years, determining that the studied section of the Biobío river would have a high carrying capacity to not be affected by its organic matter pollution.

The objectives of this study are to identify the pollutant sources location, analyze pollution load and pollution load carrying capacity of BOD (Biologycal Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solid) concentrations;  The QUAL2Kw methods application for modeling process of the main river were divided into nine reach, where Sibayang River (kilometre 86,629) as the headwater and Mentulik village as the downstream boundaries (km 0). The water samples where selected at ten points, with five of them are located at the main river and the rest of five at the tributaries. The modeling used water quality data on pollutant sources as input and the main river water quality data as a comparison.Based on the results of the study, total pollution load of BOD are 4,83 Tons/hour and total pollution load carrying capacity of BOD are 2,65 Tons/hour, it means a pollution load carrying capacity for BOD has been exceeded for 2,18 Tons/hour. The total pollution load of COD are 8,16 Tons/hour and total pollution load carrying capacity of COD are 8,45 Tons/hour, it means a pollution load carrying capacity for COD has not been exceeded and the main river still capable to  recieve the pollution load of COD for 0,29 Tons/hour. Total pollution load of TSS are 55,90 Tons/hour and total pollution load carrying capacity of TSS are 12,45 Tons/hour, it means a pollution load carrying capacity for TSS has been exceeded for 43,45 Tons/hour. Generally total pollution load carrying capacity of BOD and TSS has been exceeded, and a total pollution load carrying capacity for COD has not been exceeded, nevertheless if review is based on river reach, an excessing of BOD pollution load has been occurred at km 18 - 1 for 1, 37 Tons/hour, COD pollution load for 2, 38 Tons/hour at km 45 - 40 and TSS pollution load for 32, 54 Tons/hour in the Teso River

Detailed study was undertaken in 2008 and 2009 on assessment of water quality of River Wang Chhu which flows through Thimphu urban area, the capital city of Bhutan. The water samples were examined at upstream of urban area, within the urban area and its downstream. The water samples were analyzed by studying the physico-chemical, biological and benthic macro-invertebrates. The water quality data obtained during present study are discussed in relation to land use/land cover changes(LULC) and various ongoing human activities at upstream, within the each activity areas and it’s downstream. Analyses of satellite imagery of 1990 and 2008 using GIS revealed that over a period of eighteen years the forest, scrub and agricultural areas have decreased whereas urban area and road network have increased considerably. The forest cover, agriculture area and scrub decreased from 43.3% to 42.57%, 6.88% to 5.33% and 42.55% to 29.42%, respectively. The LULC changes effect water quality in many ways. The water temperature, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity, nitrate, phosphate, chloride, total coliform, and biological oxygen demand were lower at upstream and higher in urban area. On the other hand dissolved oxygen was found higher at upstream and lower in urban area. The pollution sensitive benthic macro-invertebrates population were dominant at upstream sampling sites whereas pollution tolerant benthic macro-invertebrates were found abundant in urban area and its immediate downstream. The rapid development of urban infrastructure in Thimphu city may be posing serious threats to water regime in terms of its quality. Though the deterioration of water quality is restricted to a few localized areas, the trend is serious and needs proper attention of policy planners and decision makers. Proper treatment of effluents from urban areas is urgently needed to reduce water pollution in such affected areas to check further deterioration of water quality. This present study which is based on upstream, within urban area and downstream of Thimphu city can be considered as an eye opener.

Kabupaten Kepulauan Sangihe dengantiga pulau terdepannya memiliki potensi untuk pengembangan budidaya rumput laut (Kappaphycus alvarezii), namun belum tersedia data kondisi perairannya.  Kajian bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik, kesesuaian, dan daya dukung perairan untuk budidaya rumput laut di kawasan pesisir Kabupaten Kepulauan Sangihe.  Data  kondisi perairan yang dikumpulkan berupa lingkungan fisik dan kualitas air.  Analisis dengan weighted linear combinationdalam SIG dilakukan untuk penentuan kesesuaian perairan danbesarnya kapasitas perairan digunakan untuk penentuan daya dukung perairan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa, karakteristik perairan Kabupaten Kepulauan Sangihe dapat mendukung usaha budidaya rumput laut, namun kedalaman perairan yang relatif dangkal dan adanya alur pelayaran yang menjadi faktor pembatas dalam kesesuaian lahan untuk budidaya rumput laut. Dari 4.839,36 ha kawasan pesisir yang dikaji di Teluk Talengen (Kecamatan Tabukan Tengah), Teluk Manalu (Kecamatan Tabukan Selatan), dan Teluk Dagho dan sekitarnya (Kecamatan Tamako dan Manganitu Selatan) dijumpai kawasan pesisir seluas 181,80 ha yang tergolong sangat sesuai; 852,82 ha yang tergolong cukup sesuai; 3.633,75 ha yang tergolong kurang sesuai; dan 179,99 ha yang tergolong tidak sesuai untuk budidaya rumput laut metoda tali panjang.  Budidaya rumput laut metoda tali panjang di Kabupaten Kepulauan Sangihe dapat dilakukan di Teluk Talengen, Teluk Manalu, dan Teluk Dagho dan sekitarnya  dengan pengembangan kawasan maksimal masing-masing seluas 324; 559; dan 1.171 ha yang dapat digunakan untuk masing-masing 1.296, 2.236, dan 4.684 unit rakit budidaya rumput laut berukuran 50 x 50 m.  Sangihe Archipelago Regency with its three outlying islands has the potential for seaweed farming development (Kappaphycus alvarezii), regrettably reliable water quality data are scarcely available in this region. The study was aimed to determine the characteristics, suitability, and carrying capacity of waters for seaweed farming in the coastal areas of Sangihe Archipelago Regency. The observed environmental quality of coastal waters included physical environment and water quality. A weighted linear combination  in a GIS environment method was applied to determine the suitability of waters and the capacity of coastal water to accommodate the maximum surface area of the farm was used to determine the carrying capacity of waters. The results of the study indicated that the characteristics of waters in Sangihe Archipelago Regency provide suitable environment for seaweed culture, however the relatively shallow waters and the existence of the shipping lanes in the study region can become major limiting factors for seaweed culture and development. Of 4,839.36 hectares of the coastal areas studied in Talengen Bay (Tabukan Tengah Subdistrict), Manalu Bay (South Tabukan Subdistrict), and Dagho Bay and surrounding areas (Tamako and Manganitu Selatan Subdistricts), a total of 181.80 ha were classified as very suitable; 852.82 ha were moderately suitable; 3,633.75 ha were less suitable; and 179.99 ha were not suitable for seaweed long-line culture method. Further analysis showed that seaweed culture of long-line method can be effectively practiced in Talengen Bay, Manalu Bay, and Dagho Bay and surrounding areas with the maximum development areas of 324, 559, and 1,171 ha respectively of which can be used for allocating 1,296, 2,236, and 4,684 culture raft units respectively, with the size of 50 x 50 m per unit.

The adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) has been proposed to model the time series of water quality data in this study. The biochemical oxygen demand data collected at the upstream catchment of Feitsui Reservoir in Taiwan for more than 20 years are selected as the target water quality variable. The classical statistical technique of the Box-Jenkins method is applied for the selection of appropriate input variables and data pre-processing of using differencing is implemented during the model development. The time series data obtained by ANFIS models are compared to those obtained by autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and artificial neural networks (ANNs). The results show that the ANFIS model identified at each sampling station is superior to the respective ARIMA and ANN models. The R values at all sampling stations of the training and testing datasets are 0.83–0.98 and 0.81–0.89, respectively, except at Huang-ju-pi-liao station. ANFIS models can provide accurate predictions for complex hydrological processes, and can be extended to other areas to improve the understanding of river pollution trends. The procedure of input selection and the pre-processing of input data proposed in this study can stimulate the usage of ANFIS in other related studies.

The efficacy of a water quality management strategy highly depends on the analysis of water quality data, which must be intensively analyzed from both spatial and temporal perspectives. This study aims to analyze spatial and temporal trends in water quality in Code River in Indonesia and correlate these with land use and land cover changes over a particular period. Water quality data consisting of 15 parameters and Landsat image data taken from 2011 to 2017 were collected and analyzed. We found that the concentrations of total dissolved solid, nitrite, nitrate, and zinc had increasing trends from upstream to downstream over time, whereas concentrations of parameter biological oxygen demand, cuprum, and fecal coliform consistently undermined water quality standards. This study also found that the proportion of natural vegetation land cover had a positive correlation with the quality of Code River’s water, whereas agricultural land and built-up areas were the most sensitive to water pollution in the river. Moreover, the principal component analysis of water quality data suggested that organic matter, metals, and domestic wastewater were the most important factors for explaining the total variability of water quality in Code River. This study demonstrates the application of a GIS-based multivariate analysis to the interpretation of water quality monitoring data, which could aid watershed stakeholders in developing data-driven intervention strategies for improving the water quality in rivers and streams.

The fluvial nitrogen dynamics at locations around weirs are still rarely studied in detail. Eulerian data, often used by conventional river monitoring and modelling approaches, lags the spatial resolution for an unambiguous representation. With the aim to address this knowledge gap, the present study applies a coupled 1D hydrodynamic–water quality model to a 26.9 km stretch of an upland river. Tailored simulations were performed for river sections with water retention and free-flow conditions to quantify the weirs’ influences on nitrogen dynamics. The water quality data were sampled with Eulerian and Lagrangian strategies. Despite the limitations in terms of required spatial discretization and simulation time, refined model calibrations with high spatiotemporal resolution corroborated the high ammonification rates (0.015 d−1) on river sections without weirs and high nitrification rates (0.17 d−1 ammonium to nitrate, 0.78 d−1 nitrate to nitrite) on river sections with weirs. Additionally, using estimations of denitrification based on typical values for riverbed sediment as a reference, we could demonstrate that in our case study, weirs can improve denitrification substantially. The produced backwater lengths can induce a means of additional nitrogen removal of 0.2-ton d−1 (10.9%) during warm and low-flow periods.

Evaluating the quality of river water is a critical process due to pollution and variations of natural or anthropogenic origin. For the Soan River (Pakistan), seven sampling sites were selected in the urban area of Rawalpindi/Islamabad, and 18 major chemical parameters were examined over two seasons, i.e., premonsoon and postmonsoon 2019. Multivariate statistical approaches such as the Spearman correlation coefficient, cluster analysis (CA), and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to evaluate the water quality of the Soan River based on temporal and spatial patterns. Analytical results obtained by PCA show that 92.46% of the total variation in the premonsoon season and 93.11% in the postmonsoon season were observed by only two loading factors in both seasons. The PCA and CA made it possible to extract and recognize the origins of the factors responsible for water quality variations during the year 2019. The sampling stations were grouped into specific clusters on the basis of the spatiotemporal pattern of water quality data. The parameters dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity, and total suspended solids (TSS) are among the prominent contributing variations in water quality, indicating that the water quality of the Soan River deteriorates gradually as it passes through the urban areas, receiving domestic and industrial wastewater from the outfalls. This study indicates that the adopted methodology can be utilized effectively for effective river water quality management.

Abstract Rivers are critical to human life because they are strategically significant in the world, providing primary water supplies for various purposes. Rivers are the prime importance of any country as most of the cities are settled near the river. Due to developmental activities and increase in population, it will results into huge waste generation. Surface water quality is affected because of increasing urbanization and industrialization. The aim of this research is to examine the effect of climate change and industrialization on the water quality of the Sabarmati river using a mathematical model. For this study four important town along the lower Sabarmati River have been considered and water quality data was considered from 2005 to 2015. In this study different water quality parameters were considered to derive water quality model. Results shows the water quality in downstream after Ahmedabad city is worst compare to the other location where the Maximum WQI is 0.71 at Rasikapur and average WQI is 0.50 for the same location for last 15 year. It has been observed that effect of monsoon and also by comparing time scale water quality model role of regulations for industrialization also plays important role in quality of Sabarmati river.
