In this paper, Jilihe basin was selected as the study area, in which the surface water, soil and sediments were collected. After surveying, sampling and determination, distribution characteristics of Fe and Mn in the samples, including soils, sediments, suspended solids and surface water, was systematically analyzed. The chemical species of Fe and Mn in soils and sediments was analyzed by Tessier sequential extraction method and tested by AAS. In addition, the possible existing state was clear through the analysis of XRD. Then through the relevant analysis of the relationship between heavy metals, the content and the transportation regularity of heavy metals, the main reason of excessive Fe and Mn was found. This not only provides a theoretical basis for the control of excessive Fe and Mn in Jilihe basin, but also provides the basis for establishment of water quality protection measures.
