Seasonal Variations of the Regular Indices of the Surface Water in the Taizi River

Abstract

The regular indices of the surface water of the Taizi River, Liaoning Province, northeast of China, were investigated. Samples were collected from upstream to downstream locations of the mainstream, and also from the tributaries of the Taizi River in dry season, wet season, and normal season, respectively. The DO values of the surface water ranged from 3.35 mg/L to 18.73 mg/L, 0.09 mg/L to 13.44mg/L, and 3.49 mg/L to 16.9 mg/L, respectively, in the dry season, wet season, and normal season, respectively. The seasonal variations of the pH values of the surface water were in the order of dry season >wet season >normal season.
