Abstract The pollution situation of different underlying surface and the change rule of each water quality index were researched, on the basis of
rainwater quality monitoring by different approaches in a university campus. The results showed that due to some factors, such as the underlying
surface material pollution, road materials, road surface pollution condition and surrounding atmospheric environment quality, the pollution of different
underlying surface rainwater would be different. Main pollutants of rainwater runoff in the city campus area were such as COD, SS, NH3 -N, TP,
etc. Ultimately, along with the increase of accumulated rainfall, the pollutants tended to gradually decrease. The road rain pollution was more seri-
ous than roof runoff pollution and the early rain pollution was serious, but the late rain water quality was much better. According to the rainwater
conditions, subsequent rainwater recycling technology and processing technology were determined as a way to alleviate the problem of water short-
age and water pollution.

Rainwater is one of the most basic, direct, and economic
potential water resources, by the attention of the society at
home and abroad. On the development and application of the
rain, rainwater is supplement and extension of the development
of traditional water resource utilization, is a new step of the
construction of water-saving society. Many foreign countries,
according to a different scale, a series of study and implemen-
tation plans on the use technology of rainwater were carried
out[tJ . China is the ancient times to rainwater using, but it was
mainly limited to the apparent lack of water in the rural areas,
especially limited to use drinking water and rainwater irrigation
in arid and semi-arid areas. For most of the town, as surface
water and groundwater were considered the main source of wa-
ter resources, the use of rainwater was widely ignored. China
truly carried out the research on the comprehensive utilization
of urban rainwater resources since the 1980s, and it was grad-
ually promoted and applied in the 1990s. There were higher de-
mands for rainwater utilization in Gansu, Inner Mongolia,
Ningxia, Shaanxi and so on, they had achieved obvious eco-
nomic and social benefits, and other areas, such as Beijing,
Shanghai , Nanjing , Dalian , Harbin , Xi'an had also successive-
ly carried out relating research, had obtained certain achieve-
ment. But from whole China, comprehensive utilization of rain-
water was still low, the technology was still relatively backward,

and the overall cohesion of urban planning was lack of system-
atic, laws, regulations and the relevant security[ 2 J.
Because of the large area of the university, the population
concentration, the living water consumption was at a high level,
and its cost was a large proportion in the cost of running a
school. In recent years, with the increasing of the concept of
sponge city, more and more colleges and universities have be-
gun to pay more attention to the use of water resources. As a
kind of economical and practical water resources, the develop-
ment and utilization of rainwater resources could effectively alle-
viate the problems of urban water resources and sustainable
development. In addition, because the construction of rainwa-
ter utilization project might also provide a solid, win-win plat-
form for university teachers and students, improve practice
teaching conditions, truly implement work-integrated learning,
its strategic significance was significant. Grasping the water
quality of the urban rainfall and runoff was the foundation of
safe and effective design and operation of rainwater utilization
system, so a university campus in Changchun was the re-
search object of this research , which explored the basic data of
water quality monitoring and reuse rainwater.
1 Basic situation
Changchun City was located in the northeast China, and it
was a continental monsoon climate zone, abundant rainfall, an-
nual rainfall days were 120 days, which concentrated in June to
September, the average annual rainfall was 567 mm , annual
average runoff depth was 68.2 mm. The rainfalls were collect-
ed mainly through rainwater wells. The total land area of the
school was 5.543 x105 m 2 , and the construction land area was
2
2.262 x105 m , there were a green rate of 40% and two land-
