Critical periods (CPs) and critical source areas (CSAs) refer to the high-risk periods and areas of nonpoint source (NPS) pollution in a watershed, respectively, and they play a significant role in NPS pollution control. The upstream Daning River Basin is a typical watershed in the Three Gorges Rese...
