ABSTRACT
Watershed and catchment area-based water quality management are important methods for comprehensive management of rivers and lakes. The impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) on river water quality vary with spatial scales, such as watersheds, catchments, and riparian zones. Achieving an effective spatial scale relationship between LULC and water quality, determining priority management areas, and reaching sustainable development of large estuarine deltas remain problematic. In this study, buffering analysis on the water quality data of the Yangtze River Estuary from 2009 to 2018 was conducted based on LULC, and the priority management areas of the basin were identified. Also, we infer that future river restoration or management efforts should focus on priority management area construction of a 1500 m riparian zone and a 150 km reach zone. Conclusively, establishing a priority management area within the effective buffer zone is key to watershed water quality management.
