摘要
Based on water quality surveys over 2 years （July to December, in 2014 and 2015） in a typical arid fiver in northern China the Xingtai segment of the Yuyang River basin - the variation of nitrogen （N） and phosphorus （P） was analyzed. The extent of water eutrophication of this segment was also assessed using a universal index formula for eutrophic evaluation and a logarithmic power function. The results showed that the average concentration of total N （TN） was 27.2 mg/L （NH3-N, 63.5% ）, total P （TP） was 2.0 mg/L （solution reactive phosphorus, 68.8%）. Temporal and spatial variations of N and P in this segment were observed. Concentrations of N and P in the arid season were higher than those in the rainy season. Spatially, the N and P concentrations followed the same trend; i.e., higher in the city segment than in the suburbs, and decreasing along the river. The water eutrophication in the studied segment reached extremely high levels at all times （eutrophication index ≥76.3）. Spatially, its trend was clearly linked with N and P. Water shortage, pollution accumulation and a weak self-purification function are the main reasons for the prominent eutrophication in this segment.
