Research on Watershed Water Pollution Control Technologies and Comprehensive Water Quality Improvement Solutions
Summary
This review covers water pollution control technologies and comprehensive strategies for improving watershed water quality in China. Controlling pollution at the watershed scale is essential for reducing microplastic and chemical contaminant loads in rivers and drinking water sources.
Since the reform and opening-up, China has experienced rapid economic and social development with a focus on economic construction. Many regions have relied on their water resources for economic development. However, this has also led to water pollution problems in watersheds, affecting the normal production and livelihood of the people and hindering sustainable development in those areas. In the new era, the comprehensive management of watershed water environment has become an important task. This article explores watershed water pollution control technologies and comprehensive water quality improvement solutions from both technical and managerial perspectives, combining domestic and international advanced experiences. The aim is to provide references for local water pollution control and ecological environment improvement.

This review synthesized findings on microplastic pollution across China's inland water systems — rivers, lakes, and reservoirs — documenting widespread contamination and identifying gaps in monitoring methods and research coverage.
Microplastic Pollution in China’s Aquatic Systems: Spatial Distribution, Transport Pathways, and Controlling Strategies
This review synthesizes recent findings on microplastic pollution across China's rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and coastal waters. Researchers found that contamination levels vary dramatically by location, with urban waterways showing the highest concentrations and polypropylene and polyethylene being the most common polymer types. The study identifies rivers as major transport pathways carrying microplastics from inland areas to the sea and evaluates strategies for reducing this pollution.

Microplastic Pollution in Water Systems: Characteristics and Control Methods
This review summarizes research on microplastic pollution in water systems, covering where microplastics come from, how they spread, and their effects on aquatic life and potentially human health. Freshwater in China was found to have higher microplastic levels than other regions, though marine contamination was moderate. The authors suggest that controlling water flow and switching to degradable plastics could significantly reduce microplastic pollution in water.
