摘要： Twenty-four samplings were conducted every 3 months at 15 sites from January 2009 to October 2014 in Lake Poyang, and 20 parameters were analyzed and classified into three groups (toxic metals, easily treated parameters, and others). The assessment results based on water quality index (WQI) showed that the water quality in Lake Poyang was generally "moderate", according to the classification of the surface water quality standard (GB3838-2002) in China, but a deteriorating trend was observed at the interannual scale. Seasonally, the water quality was best in summer and worst in winter. Easily treated parameters generally determined the WQI value in the assessment, especially total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP), while toxic metals and other parameters in Lake Poyang were generally at low and safe levels for drinking water. Water level (WL) has a net positive effect on water quality in Lake Poyang through dilution of environmental parameters, which in practice means TN. Consequently, local management agencies should pay more attention to nutrient concentrations during the monitoring schedule, as well as during the low-water periods which manifest a relatively bad water quality state, especially with the prevailing low WL observed recently in Lake Poyang.
