Using land use types and landscape metrics, as well as statistical and spatial analysis, we
determined the relationships between land use patterns and river water quality in the Taizi …

Influences of multiple environmental factors on water quality patterns is less studied in large
rivers. Landscape analysis, multiple statistical methods, and the water quality index (WQI) …

Land use influences the variation of river water quality. This effect varies depending on the
region of the river and the spatial scale at which land use is calculated. This study …

In this study, we have considered the relationship between the spatial configuration of land
use and water quality in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area. Using land use types, landscape …

Understanding how land use and land cover change influences the flow and water quality of
rivers is critically important for river management and restoration. Human activities have …

The influence of land use patterns on water quality in a river system is scale‐dependent. In
this study, a four‐order hierarchical arrangement method was used to select water sampling …

Understanding the relationships between land use patterns and water quality in low-order
streams is useful for effective landscape planning to protect downstream water quality. A …

Water quality is important for domestic, industrial, agricultural and environmental purposes,
and is reported to be strongly affected by land use including land use composition …

The effect of topographic characteristics of land uses on stream water quality must be
addressed for a better understanding of the complex relationship between land use and …

Understanding the relationship between land use and surface water quality is necessary for
effective water management. We estimated the impacts of catchment-wide land use on water …
