Abstract: An essential component of China's environment and a major driver of economic growth is the Yangtze River, which is irreplaceable in production and life. However, in the industrially dense sections of the Yangtze River Basin, there is organic and heavy metal pollution, and some tributaries have severe total phosphorus emissions. The problem of sewage treatment in some cities is prominent. This paper analyzes the contamination of the Yangtze River brought on by the inflow of agricultural contaminants, the discharge of industrial effluent, and the dramatic rise in household sewage. For instance, the government has suggested pertinent actions to combat pollution which is in the Basin of Yangtze River , like leveraging data to improve enterprise pollution oversight, developing green ecological agriculture, and widely setting up sewage collection pipelines in urban and rural areas. It is crucial to investigate how human activity affects the Yangtze River's ecology in order to preserve natural balance and guarantee sustainable economic growth. This study offers a foundation for developing practical methods of reducing Yangtze River water pollution, which should aid in the long-term preservation and restoration of the river's natural ecosystem and foster the growth of peaceful coexistence between people and the environment.
