Analysis:
Origin-pollution
free
Headstream-moderate
pollution
Midstream-
mild polluted
Downstream-serious
polluted
The
difference of COD between slow and high flow is at
upstream area. During high flow, there is a significant
decline of COD at midstream area. |

|
Lower COD in origin, less pollution
|
|
A bit higher COD in midstream, moderate pollution
|
|
Highest COD in downstream, severe pollution
