Relationships between land use patterns and water quality in the Taizi River basin, China
TLDR
Using land use types and landscape metrics, as well as statistical and spatial analysis, Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper determined the relationships between land use patterns and river water quality in the Taizi River basin, China, during dry and rainy seasons in 2009.About:

Influence of land use and land cover patterns on seasonal water quality at multi-spatial scales
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between land use patterns and water quality was analyzed across multiple-scales using redundancy analysis, and it was shown that urban land had a higher positive relationship with degraded water quality at small scales than at large scales, whereas agricultural land displayed opposite scale effects.

Influences of the land use pattern on water quality in low-order streams of the Dongjiang River basin, China: A multi-scale analysis.
TL;DR: The results indicated that the water quality of low-order streams was most strongly affected by the configuration metrics of land use, and watershed management should adopt better landscape planning and multi-scale measures to improve water quality.

Understanding the relationship of land uses and water quality in Twenty First Century: A review
Subhasis Giri,Zeyuan Qiu +1 more
TL;DR: This study attributes to cause of waterquality problem, indices to measure water quality, methods to identify proper explanatory variables to water quality and it's processing to capture the special effect, and modeling of water quality using identified explanatory variablesto provide insights to help policymakers and watershed managers to take necessary steps to protect water quality.

New insight into the correlations between land use and water quality in a coastal watershed of China: Does point source pollution weaken it?
TL;DR: A self-organizing map (SOM)-based approach is developed to explore the relationship between land use and water quality in the Minjiang River Watershed, Southeast China and demonstrates how PS pollution weakens the land use-water quality correlation.

Anna Lintern,John Webb,Dongryeol Ryu,Shuci Liu,Ulrike Bende-Michl,D. Waters,P. Leahy,P. Wilson,Andrew W. Western +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between landscape characteristics and stream water quality is investigated and the strength of this relationship can be influenced by the distance and spatial arrangement of constituent sources within the catchment, cross correlations between landscapes characteristics, and seasonality.

TL;DR: The results revealed that the major causes of water quality deterioration were related to inflow of effluent from industrial, domestic, agricultural and saline seeps into the lake at site 1 and also resulting from people living in boats and fishing at sites 2 and 3.

Landscape ecological approach to the relationships of land use patterns in watersheds to water quality characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial configuration of land uses within watersheds in South Korea and examined how spatial patterns of urban, agricultural, and forest land uses measured at both landscape and class levels, related to water quality in adjacent reservoirs from landscape ecological perspective.

Water quality in the upper Han River basin, China: the impacts of land use/land cover in riparian buffer zone
TL;DR: The research could provide help develop sustainable land use practice of the riparian zone for water conservation in the basin and explain most of the water quality variability in T, pH, turbidity, SPM and COD(Mn).
