AB  - High levels of ammonium in water can compromise the ecological environment and be 
      harmful to human beings. It is of great significance to understand the source and 
      controlling factors of ammonium in waters. However, the distribution and 
      controlling factors on ammonium in the central Yangtze River Basin have been 
      rarely reported. The results showed that 6.58% of the surface water (SW) exceeded 
      the China national guideline of category III for NH(4)(+)-N (i.e., 1.0 mg/L) and 
      30.19% of the groundwater (GW) exceeded the China national guideline of category 
      III for NH(4)(+)-N (i.e., 0.5 mg/L). Notably, the ammonium concentrations of the 
      plain area in the middle were much higher, which reached to the highest value at 
      the junction of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake. Nitrogen in SW may originate 
      from manure but more nitrogen sources in GW. The net anthropogenic nitrogen input 
      (NANI) can provide enough organic nitrogen for the mineralization. NH(4)(+)-N in 
      SW was more affected by fertilizer nitrogen and feed nitrogen input but more 
      affected by agricultural nitrogen fixation in GW. Agricultural and industrial 
      activities controlled NH(4)(+)-N in SW and GW by increasing nitrogen input and 
      changing hydrological conditions. In general, this research exposed the 
      controlling of different types of factors on ammonium in waters, providing a 
      guidance for the water pollution prevention in study area.
