Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled "Surface Water Quality Indicators in China and Their Implications for Sustainability" Submitted by Kwong Pui Ki for the degree of Master of Arts at The University of Hong Kong in June 2006 The purposes of this study is to evaluate the role of water discharge as a control upon water quality in China and Hong Kong; to investigate the temporal trend of water discharge of the Yellow River; and to compare and contrast various river monitoring programmes between China and other countries, such as Australia, Canada, the UK and Hong Kong. Spearman rank correlation and linear least squares regression have been used to examine the relationship between water discharge and water quality in China and Hong Kong, including the WQI in Hong Kong and surface water classes in China. The investigation of the temporal trend of annual water discharge for monitoring stations on the Yellow River, China has been conducted using linear least squares regression. Temporal trend using annual data in both high flow and low flow months has also been examined. Mean monthly discharge values are used to explore seasonality of runoff in the Yellow River and the semi-averages method is applied to study temporal change. At the same time, water quality monitoring programmes and the surface water classes in China, and WQIs in Australia, Canada, UK and Hong Kong will be compared and contrasted. The results of this study show that water discharge may not be the most important factor in affecting water quality in both Hong Kong streams and in the Yellow River, China. Also, the Yellow River is experiencing a falling trend in water discharge due to the impact of human activities. The decline is most pronounced in the 'wet' season. The comparison of water quality monitoring programmes reveals that the biological aspect in river monitoring is neglected in China and that a holistic assessment may need to include discharge and biological components.
