With the development of societies and economies, the process of industrialization and urban modernization is accelerating, urban populations are increasing, and more and more wastewater is generated and released. Large quantities of hazardous industrial and agricultural wastewater and domestic sewage are discharged directly into reservoirs, lakes, rivers and the sea, without adequate treatment. The wide range of pollutants discharged can degrade, interact, and transform in aquatic environments. When light, temperature, nutrients and other natural conditions are suitable, it is common for algal species to burst into bloom, causing serious damage to the ecological environment of the receiving water body. As the flux of river discharge into the sea increases year by year, the deterioration of coastal water environments accelerates. Meanwhile, variations in climate and vegetation impact basin hydrological proceses and river runoff into the sea.
