Abstract:

Based on the review of relevant literatures, the framework and characters of TMDL(total maximum daily loads) and the research in progress have been analyzed. Using the TMDL for reference, problems in pollution volume control of China are discussed. The results show that the indices for performance assessment of total pollution volume reduction are too simple; the formulation of the targets of the total volume control and pollution reduction failed to take into account of aquatic environmental capacity; the total volume control and pollution reduction is not related to improvement of water quality; and management and scientific research go adrift.It is, therefore, essential to strengthen the researches on water quality modeling and calculation of pollution load and water environmental capacity, and to develop a relatively objective and highly operable scheme for evaluation and performance assessment of pollution reduction. Proposals are brought forth for consummate the technical flow and scheme for water pollution total volume control in China.

Key words: water pollution load control, TMDL, water environmental capacity
