Jianhu Lake, a small plateau lake in Yunnan Province, was selected as the study area. The spatio-temporal distributions of microplastics in water of Jianhu Lake were studied, and the microplastic fluxes from the influent and effluent rivers were explored through field sample collection and laboratory experiment. Then, the source or sink effects of small plateau lakes on microplastics were revealed. The results showed that the average abundances of microplastics in water of Jianhu Lake were (4.80±2.85) and (12.61±8.00) n/m3 in wet and dry seasons, respectively. The average monthly fluxes into the lake were (55.59×106) and (3.82×106) n, respectively. The monthly fluxes out of the lake were (13.70×106) and (9.80×106) n, respectively. The rayon (RY), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and low density styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) were the main polymers types in water of Jianhu Lake. The degree of microplastic pollution in water of Jianhu Lake was higher in the dry season than that in the wet season. The microplastics from influent rivers had a significant contribution to the accumulation of microplastics in water of Jianhu Lake. Generally, Jianhu Lake was the sink of microplastics, while the "source" and "sink" roles of lakes on microplastics were the dynamic process under the different conditions.
