Abstract

The characteristics of turbidity in the watershed of Chongqing City’s water supply system in interconnected reservoir basins between JiaLingJiang River and Chang Jiang River are investigated and analyzed by dynamic light scattering method (DLS). Three months of continuous turbidity measurements in seven sampling sites along the JiaLingJiang River were respectively performed from March to May in 2018. The experiment results demonstrated that the particles with highly similar light-scattering features are the main contribution to turbidity in the JiaLingJiang River. The analysis of turbidity time series showed that the particle populations from water sources impacts in downstream waters and the influence of urban wastewater pollution and wet weather pollutant was not obvious in those months. On the other hand, the relative errors of turbidity measurement results were always less than 3% with national turbidity standard.
