Abstract: Eutrophication is a serious problem of water body pollution. By the method of material flow accounting, this paper studied the human activities-related nitrogen flow in the system of environment and anthroposphere in Huizhou region. The non-point source pollution was quantified by export coefficient method, and the domestic discharge was estimated by demand-supply method. The statistic and dynamic analyses based on the investigation data of 1998 showed that the major nitrogen flows in this region were river loads, fertilizer and feedstuff imports, atmospheric deposition, animal excretes’ degradation and volatilization, and the processes relating to burning and other emissions. In 1998, about 40% of nitrogen was detained in the system, which could be accumulated and yield potential environmental problems. The nitrogen export in this region was mainly by rivers, accounted for about 57%. A comparison of Huizhou region with the Danube and Changjiang basins showed that the unit area nitrogen exports in these three regions were of the same magnitude, and the per capita nitrogen exports were comparable.
