Reviewer 3 Report
1. The abstract and conclusion are not concise enough, the content is messy and complicated, and need to be reorganized to highlight the innovation of the paper.
2. There are grammatical errors in the paper, which need to be carefully checked and modified.
3. Lack of detailed description of innovation content and research significance, need to be supplemented.
4. It is suggested to adjust the font of the reservoir in Figure 1 more clearly.
5. The description of point source pollution, non-point source pollution and internal pollution sources should be more detailed.
6. The total reduction rate of pollutants in Liuluo River is missing in Figure 7. If the pollutants in Liuluo River do not change, you need to explain it clearly.
7. The following papers may be helpful to the author's research and can be used for reference. Journal of Cleaner Production，350:131434; Environmental Earth Sciences, 77(9):344.
