Water quality in irrigation areas is related to food security and many other national strategies. This study takes China’s Yingkou Irrigation District as the research object and analyzes 4 water quality indicators, including NH4+-N, TP, DO and COD, from 2017 to 2019 at 3 water quality monitoring points set up in the irrigation area. Simultaneously, a comprehensive pollution index is introduced to evaluate the quality of returned water in the irrigation area. Using Redundancy Analysis (RDA), the correlation between water quality indicators and Land-use and socio-economic indicators are analyzed separately. The results show that the water quality of the Yingkou Irrigation District varies greatly within and between years, and the months with poor water quality are concentrated in autumn and winter. This is mainly related to the geographical location of the irrigation area and the drainage cycle of rice planting. The quality of receding water shows a positive correlation with the water area and a negative correlation with the unused land. The RDA analysis with socio-economic indicators shows that PD and IP are the ones that have a more significant impact on the quality of return water in irrigation areas. The prevention and control of industrial point source pollution, as well as the interception of non-point source pollution in water regions, should be the focus of water pollution prevention and control in irrigation areas.
