Yanjie He, Xiujun Sun, Nan Shan, Beibei Qie, Yiming Wang

Abstract


From the perspective of aquatic ecology, there are problems of insufficient analysis and poor governance effect on the impact and ecological governance of urban and rural water pollution. Therefore, to achieve a good water cycle, it is of great practical significance to analyze the impact of urban and rural water pollution from the perspective of aquatic ecology and study the ecological governance model. Taking a certain research area as an example, an integrated ecological governance model under the perspective of aquatic ecology is designed, including source control, pollution interception, and restoration. The impact of urban and rural water pollution on soil environment, groundwater environment, and agricultural environment is analyzed, and the change of water pollution concentration before and after application is studied. The research results show that in the soil environment of the research area, most areas are lightly polluted, two other areas (Area 3, Area 4) are heavily polluted, one area (Area 7) is moderately polluted, and one area (Area 11) is unpolluted; in terms of groundwater environment, the degree of groundwater pollution in Area 1 and Area 2 is the highest, followed by Area 3 and Area 4, then Area 7 is moderately polluted, and other areas are lightly polluted or unpolluted; in terms of agricultural environment, as the pollution degree of irrigation water source increases, the emergence rate, yield, and dry matter content of crops all show a decreasing trend, indicating that the more serious the water pollution, the more serious the impact on the agricultural environment; after applying the research method, the highest water pollution concentration has been reduced by 0.8 mg/L, and the overall data is below 1.0 mg/L, the water pollution concentration has been reduced. Through this research, it is expected to achieve in-depth ecological governance and protect the aquatic environment.
