The assessment of heavy metal pollution is crucial for water conservation. This study determined the contents of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and As) from 39 soil samples surrounding a reservoir, and analyzed the corresponding source and enrichment using enrichment factors and partial least-squares regression. The concentration of Cr (54.06 mg/kg) was lower than the background value of the reservoir area, while the Cd concentration was higher (0.96 mg/kg). Moreover, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn and As concentrations in the south exceeded those of the northeast in the Nanwan lake reservoir (NLR). Cd and As were the dominant contaminated elements in the NLR. The Cd enrichment factor value was 11.25, areas with moderate and higher levels of pollution of Cd occupied 89.0% of the total area, while As occupied 18.4%. The dominant sources of Zn, Ni, Cu, Pb and Cr were identified as natural inputs, those of As were agricultural production activities, and those of Cd were industrial production activities. This study provides insight into the heavy metal pollution and key factors of land-use types in watersheds with tea trees as the dominant vegetation cover, and aids in the planning of water pollution prevention and ecological protection.
