Accurately identifying the source and controlling the total amount of pollutants are the basis for achieving regulation of pollution sources, which is critical for the prevention and control of surface water pollution. For this purpose, this study used the Xinjian River in Jinyun County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, China, as a case study to explore whether and how the tributary inflow impacts the downstream water quality. The main pollution sources in the upstream, midstream, and downstream of the Xinjian River were apportioned using the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model based on the water quality data from four sample stations from January 2018 to September 2022. According to the unmatched factor in different sections, it is plausible to infer that the TN and TP are mainly caused by the tributaries. To enhance the reliability of pollution source apportionment based on the receptor model, a series of remote sensing images with high resolution were used to derive the water quality concentrations to present the spatial distribution and reveal the long-term trend of the local water environment. It is anticipated that the apportionment results could be of great assistance to local authorities for the control and management of pollution, as well as the protection of riverine water quality.
