Env. & Poll. Tech. Website: www.neptjournal.com Huifa River is the largest tributary of the Second Songhua River. Songhua River Basin is the concentrated area of Northeast Old Industrial Base, and it is also the distribution area of major cities, bearing Received: 19-12-2015 production task of national commodity grain. In recent years, with the rapid development of economy, Accepted: 28-01-2016 the deterioration of water quality is serious and the water environment problem is becoming more and Key Words: more outstanding, which have affected the sustainable development of the economic and social of Pollution receiving capacity Jilin province, so it is necessary to analyse and study the pollution receiving capacity of the river and Water quality model control the water pollution source to protect the water environment and strengthen water resources Sewage outfall protection. Based on one-dimensional water quality model, this paper use three kinds of different Huifa river generalization methods, such as midpoint generalization, uniform generalization and sewage outfall barycenter generalization, to calculate pollution receiving capacity of the five sections of Huifa River, discussing the pollution receiving capacity of water function area based on different situations of sewage outfall generalization. The results show that: Annual pollution receiving capacity of COD and ammonia nitrogen of Huifa River are 34027.02 t/a and 2242.07 t/a respectively in the case of sewage outfall midpoint generalization; Annual pollution receiving capacity of COD and ammonia nitrogen of Huifa River are 33714.86t/a and 2222.49t/a respectively in the case of sewage outfall uniform generalization; Annual pollution receiving capacity of COD and ammonia nitrogen of Huifa River are 41701.09t/a and 2727.90t/a respectively in the case of sewage outfall barycenter generalization. The calculation results of pollution receiving capacity with midpoint generalization and uniform generalization are approximate, while the calculation result of sewage outfall barycenter generalization has some differences with the first two.
