Abstract:

As the local main river, the Taizi River is the primary source for industrial, agricultural, and living water in Benxi.In order to better understand the water body condition of Taizi River in the urban area of Benxi, based on the data of 18 monitoring sections in the seasons of average water (April), abundant water (August) and the lack water (November) in 2017, combining with the actual situation and characteristics of the studied river section as well as the use of the evaluation index system of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the health of water ecosystem of the studied river section was evaluated.With the comparison and analysis, the evaluation result in the average water season is taken as dominate part and those in the abundant water season and lack water season are taken as auxiliary.The results show that only 22% monitoring sections are in a health condition and 56% ones are in a sub-health status, while the other 22% monitoring sections are in general status, which reflects that the most basin of Taizi River flowing through Benxi urban area is being in the sub-health state and its water ecosystem is deteriorating, revealing that reinforcing management and protection is needed in the studied river section.

Key words: Water ecosystem health, Taizi River flowing through Benxi urban area, Analytic hierarchy process (AHP)
