Red tides and eutrophication have been frequently observed over the past two decades in coastal waters around Hong Kong, which are caused by many factors and one of them is the nutrient from nonpoint source pollution (NSP). This paper concentrates on the nutrients carried by river flow from watersheds. Since there are no systematical data sets of nonpoint source pollution in Hong Kong, monthly river water quality measurements, rainfall and river flow data, land uses, and other related information are used to analyze the characteristics of NSP and estimate the nutrient loads for Hong Kong region. Main achievements are as follows: firstly, besides mean concentration for single land use, the concept of integrated mean concentration for mixed land uses was proposed and applied. Secondly, mean concentrations were carried out for different land uses (agriculture, town, grassland, shrubland and woodland), each Water Control Zone, and Hong Kong region. Thirdly, the annual nutrient loads were estimated, for the first time in this paper, with various methods for the whole area of Hong Kong, and about 8,000 tons of TN and 1,500 tons TP are transported into coastal waters from Hong Kong's land in 1998.

The regulation of development-related activities can require complex approaches to the management of nonpoint source pollution (NPSP) associated with such activities. Experience has shown that growth and transportation needs can be accommodated in a manner which avoids and minimizes stream and wetland impacts while remaining compatible with effective NPSP management strategies, herein referred to as stormwater management (SWM). The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) has developed a “one stop shop” review and assessment procedure where applicable federal and State regulatory programs are combined into a single process where on-site conditions are assessed, potential impacts are identified and mitigative practices are proposed sufficient to offset habitat loss and comply with water quality standards. The example presented is the first of several development projects in a 405 hectare (1000 acre) watershed of the Potomac River in the greater Washington, DC area of Maryland. The project, submitted in 1989, proposed stream and wetland impacts for road construction and runoff catchment basins which were determined by MDE to be avoidable. Impacts were reduced and mitigated by design revisions and innovative approaches to wetland re-creation and SWM. Subsequent development projects in this watershed are currently expanding in a manner which utilizes and refines data obtained from this initial project with completion expected by 2003.
