This research investigates the effects of seasonal variability (rainy and dry seasons) and nutrient transfer patterns on the nutrient loads (dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and orthophosphate phosphorus (P)) and the self-remediation of the south Rangsit canal in Thailand -1 , respectively. The DIN and P loads were 5.05 and 0.40 tons/day in the rainy season (September); and 5.12 and 0.32 tons/day in the dry season (March). The relative remediation efficiency (EFR RR ) were mostly negative, especially in the dry season, indicating the inadequate self-remediation and nutrient input-output imbalance. The findings also showed that water mass transfer directions influenced the self-remediation and nutrients accumulation in the study area.
