The development of economy and society in China leads to a huge amount of wastewater discharge, which becomes a serious problem in most of Chinese cities. Therefore, the construction of sewer plant is more popular than before in lots of these cities. The wastewater discharge from the plant is then considered as a point source in most of the important rivers and channels. In this study, a typical wastewater treatment plant is introduced, a monitoring experiment is designed and executed to observe current river status. Additionally, a two-dimensional model is established to predict the water quality downstream of the plant. It is confirmed that the water quality will not significantly deteriorate, however, systematic control of wastewater discharge and protect of current river environment is still encouraged.
