Fluvial plain lake watersheds are usually highly urbanized and have high concentrations of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM). CDOM derived from the connecting urban channels usually share strong terrestrial and anthropogenic signals and net inflow runoff (Qnet) to the lake serves as a proxy of residential household sewage input. We investigate how Qnetcontrols the optical characteristics of CDOM in fluvial plain Lake Taihu and the connecting channels. CDOM absorption coefficienta(350), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), the fluorescence intensity (Fmax) of seven PARAFAC components C1-C7, and δ15N-TDN were higher in the northwestern relative to the other lake regions, anda(250)/a(365), spectral slopeS275–295, and δ13C-DOM relative low in the northwestern lake, all indicating strong terrestrial and anthropogenic effects. Conversely, the urban land cover (%Cities), gross domestic product (GDP), and population density were relatively low in the western sub-watersheds and high in the eastern sub-watersheds. This apparent paradox reflects variations in Qnetfrom different sub-watersheds. Thus, significant positive relationships were found between Qnetanda(350), DOC, chemical oxygen demand (COD), chlorophyll-a(Chl-a), Fmaxof C1-C3 and C6-C7, and %C2-%C3 in the five hydraulic sub-watersheds. We revealed significant positive relationships between meana(350), DOC, COD, Chl-a, C1-C3 and C6, %C2-%C3, and the products of Qnet× %Cities, Qnet× GDP, and Qnet× population density. We further found dominant contribution of lignin to the total number of assigned formulas for the samples collected from the channels in the Huxi watershed and the central lake using high resolution mass spectroscopy. We conclude that Qnetis of key importance for the optical properties of CDOM molecules in the various regions of Lake Taihu and the connecting channels.
