Abstract:A watershed-scale environmental risk assessment technology method based on environmental risk receptor protection is proposed in this paper. The technical method fully considers two main parts: 1) China's current grading standards for environmental incidents, and 2) the accurate identification of water environment risk receptors such as centralized drinking water sources, administrative boundaries, important ecological protection areas and environmental risk sources. The level of environmental risk sources is determined by the level of environmentally sensitive receptors. This technical method unifies the watershed emergency environmental risk assessment of fixed risk sources and mobile risk sources. The technical method starts with the environmental risk receptors and focuses on environmental risk management, comprehensively analyzes the water environment risk level of the river basin and characterizes it through the risk map. Using this technical method, it is possible to comprehensively identify and classify the fixed and mobile risk sources in the watershed. This technical method is a powerful complement to China's existing environmental risk assessment system which can provide technical support for improving the water environment risk management level in China. Key words:watershed-scale environmental risk assessment/ accidental water pollution incidents/ water environment risk receptor.
