A tank cum open dug well system suitable for plateau region of eastern India has been developed for providing reliable irrigation
to croplands. The system comprises of a series of tanks with open dug wells in the recharge zone of the tank that reharvest
back the seepage water. Thus, the rainwater remaining in the tank as well as partial seeped water is used for providing round
the year full irrigation. This system was evaluated in field in Keonjhar district of Orissa of eastern India with six tanks
and five wells in two drainage lines. The total command area of the system of six tanks and five wells in both drainage lines
is 23 ha and the total irrigation potential is 44.5 ha. The total cost of the system is US $19,180 making the cost of irrigation
resource creation as US $426 per ha which is much less than about $2,220 per ha for major and medium irrigation projects in
the last decade of 20th century. The system increased the rice yields from 1.92 t ha − 1 to a range of 2.25 to 3.8 t ha − 1 depending upon the package of practices or the amount of inputs. The farmers went for crops in post-monsoon and summer season
and the cropping intensity rose to 112% in the first year, 126% in the second year and 132% in the third year. The internal
rate of return from the system was 13.4% at the present level of utilization, which is about 2.4% more than the prime-lending
rate of Indian banks, and 3.4% more than the lending rate for agricultural purposes. 相似文献

In this study, the revised Remote Sensing-Penman Monteith model (RS-PM) was used to scale up evapotranspiration (ET) over
the entire Yukon River Basin (YRB) from three eddy covariance (EC) towers covering major vegetation types. We determined model
parameters and uncertainty using a Bayesian-based method in the three EC sites. The 95 % confidence interval for the aggregate
ecosystem ET ranged from 233 to 396 mm yr−1 with an average of 319 mm yr−1. The mean difference between precipitation and evapotranspiration (W) was 171 mm yr−1 with a 95 % confidence interval of 94–257 mm yr−1. The YRB region showed a slight increasing trend in annual precipitation for the 1982–2009 time period, while ET showed a
significant increasing trend of 6.6 mm decade−1. As a whole, annual W showed a drying trend over YRB region. 相似文献

A dynamic systems simulation model of water resources was developed as a tool to help analyze alternatives to water resources
management for the Piracicaba, Capivari and Jundiaí River Water Basins (RB-PCJ), and used to run six 50-year simulations from
2004 to 2054. The model estimates water supply and demand, as well as contamination load by several consumers. Six runs were
performed using a constant mean precipitation value, changing water supply and demand and different volumes diverted from
RB-PCJ to RB-Alto Tietê. For the Business as Usual scenario, the Sustainability Index went from 0.44 in 2004 to 0.20 by 2054.
The Water Sustainability Index changed from 74% in 2004 to 131% by 2054. The Falkenmark Index changed from 1,403 m3 person − 1 year − 1 in 2004 to 734 m3 person − 1 year − 1 by 2054. We concluded that sanitation is one of the major problems for the PCJ River Basins. 相似文献

Conclusions
A substantial change in the design operating regime of the reservoir causes significant changes in the stress—strain state
of the mass, which are expressed in an extreme increase of the water table and drainage discharges in the dam foundation,
increase of the number of local earthquakes, etc.

1. | The mechanical effect of a reservoir extends to a rock mass whose volume exceeds the reservoir volume by two orders. This effect is expressed in the formation of a depression zone in the territory adjacent to the reservoir, “breakdown” of the reservoir walls, and extreme increase of the number of local earthquakes whose hypocenters are located within the indicated volume of the mass. Maximum changes in the stress—strain state of the mass occur at the reservoir filling stage. |
2. | Stabilization of the reservoir levels causes stress relaxation in the mass within (0.8–-1.9)·108 sec, as a result of which static equilibrium of the mass—reservoir system is reached. Subsequently, surface deformations and stresses in the mass change in accordance with fluctuations of the reservoir water level. The number of local earthquakes decreases relative to the natural level. The intensity of “breakdown” of the walls decreases with rise of the water table. |
3. | Disturbance of the cause-and-effect relations in the reservoir—mass system can be regarded as a sign of a change in the regional stress field, including as a precursor of regional earthquakes. |

Irrigation of pasture forms the greatest single use of irrigation water in Australia yet there has been little monitoring
of its spatial extent and water demands across southeast Australian coastal catchments where irrigated dairy farming forms
an important rural livelihood. This paper provides an analysis of spatio-temporal patterns in the extent of irrigated pasture
in the Bega–Bemboka catchment on the south coast of New South Wales from Landsat imagery, and establishes quantile regression
relationships between metered monthly irrigation abstraction volumes, evaporation and rainfall. Over the metering period (2000–2007),
annual water usage averages 4.8 ML ha − 1 year − 1, with January being the month of highest demand with an annualised usage of 10.4 ML ha − 1 year − 1. Analysis of Landsat imagery indicates that the spatial extent of irrigated pasture across the catchment has increased from
1266 ha in 1983 to 1842 ha by 2002, together with amalgamation of smaller holdings along less reliable streams into larger
parcels along the trunk stream. Quantile regressions to estimate monthly mean and maximum abstraction volumes from monthly
evaporation and rainfall data indicate that abstraction volumes are more closely correlated with evaporation. When combined
with Landsat analyses of the spatial extent of irrigated areas, such relationships enable estimation of catchment-scale hydrological
effects of irrigation abstractions that in turn can help guide regional-scale assessments of the ecological effects and sustainability
of spatially and temporally changing irrigation abstraction volumes. 相似文献

Gully erosion is one of the most complicated and destructive forms of water erosion. In order to prevent this erosion, the
important factors controlling gully heads must be understood. This paper examines gully head advancement in the Hableh Rood
Basin, Iran by (1) observing gully head advance between 1957 and 2005 using field studies, aerial photography and GIS analysis
and: (2) applying and evaluating widely used experimental models including the, Thompson (Trans ASAE 7(1):54–55, 1964), SCS (I) and SCS (II) models, for estimating migrating headcuts over the study period. The results showed that the highest
mean gully advancement (0.26 m year − 1) took place during the 1956–1967 period, with most gullies having lower and steady headcut retreat rates between 1967–2000
(0.21 m year − 1) and 2000–2005 (0.15 m year − 1). This suggests that the majority of gullies in the study area were still in the early stages of formation in the first study
period and their formation may be linked to land use or climatic changes pre 1956. Analysis of the correlation between environmental
characteristics of the study area and gully advancement indicated that the upslope area of head cuts and soluble mineral content
of the soil were the two most important factors influencing the spatial and temporal variation of gully longitudinal development.
Results of multiple regression revealed that the simple relation including upslope area and soluble minerals can explain 93%
of total variance and relatively reflects the effects of runoff and waterfall process for headcut retreat. Application of
statistical error analysis to evaluate the four gully advancement models showed that in comparison to other models, the second
model of SCS has more reliable results for predicting longitudinal gully advancement in this study area and other similar
regions. However, this study indicates that future modelling in the region should consider the role of soil soluble mineral
content in predicting gully advancement. 相似文献

Soil Erosion Assessment in a Hilly Catchment of North Eastern India Using USLE, GIS and Remote Sensing 总被引:9,自引:1,他引:8
In the present study, soil erosion assessment of Dikrong river basin of Arunachal Pradesh (India) was carried out. The river
basin was divided into 200 × 200 m grid cells. The Arc Info 7.2 GIS software and RS (ERDAS IMAGINE 8.4 image processing software)
provided spatial input data and the USLE was used to predict the spatial distribution of the average annual soil loss on grid
basis. The average rainfall erositivity factor (R) for Dikrong river basin was found to be 1,894.6 MJ mm ha−1 h−1 year−1. The soil erodibility factor (K) with a magnitude of 0.055 t ha h ha−1 MJ−1 mm−1 is the highest, with 0.039 t ha h ha−1 MJ−1 mm−1 is the least for the watershed. The highest and lowest value of slope length factor (LS) is 53.5 and 5.39 respectively for the watershed. The highest and lowest values of crop management factor (C) were found out to be 0.004 and 1.0 respectively for the watershed. The highest and lowest value of conservation factor (P) were found to be 1 and 0.28 respectively for the watershed. The average annual soil loss of the Dikrong river basin is 51 t
ha−1 year−1. About 25.61% of the watershed area is found out to be under slight erosion class. Areas covered by moderate, high, very
high, severe and very severe erosion potential zones are 26.51%, 17.87%, 13.74%, 2.39% and 13.88% respectively. Therefore,
these areas need immediate attention from soil conservation point of view. 相似文献

Nitrate in the Water-Supply Wells in the Mancha Oriental Hydrogeological System (SE Spain) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study determines the spatial and temporal distribution of nitrate content within the water-supply wells in the Mancha
Oriental System (MOS) for the period 1998–2003 and presents an example of the multiple nitrate pollution sources in the El
Salobral–Los Llanos Domain (SLD, southwestern Albacete). The groundwater resources of the MOS are used to maintain approximately
800 km2 of irrigated crops and are the sole water supply for a total population of 275,000 inhabitants. The average nitrate content
varies from <0.5 mg l − 1 (detection limit) to 125 mg l − 1. In some areas of the MOS statistical analyses show a growing tendency between 2001 and 2003. Nitrate content shows a heterogeneous
spatial distribution but the highest levels can be associated with large areas of irrigated crops. However, there are also
points in which nitrate has been detected in significant quantities which are not found to be spatially linked to this kind
of crop. The presence of nitrate in these areas can be explained considering other sources of pollution, such us wastewater,
or due to pollutant transport from contaminated areas through groundwater flow in a multiple-layered karstic aquifer. These
results lead necessarily to reconsider the agricultural-derived nitrate as the sole source of pollution and to analyze the
effectiveness of the current wastewater treatment practices from effluents in the MOS. 相似文献

Regional Scale Erosion Assessment of a Sub-tropical Highland Segment in the Western Ghats of Kerala,South India 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) has been used in combination with remote sensing and GIS techniques to assess
the spatial pattern and annual rate of soil erosion in the Munnar Forest Division in Western Ghats, Kerala, India. The RUSLE
takes into account several factors such as rainfall, soil erodibility, slope length and steepness, land cover and erosion
control practice for soil erosion prediction. Maximum soil loss of 109.31 t h−1y−1 and the areas with extreme erosion (erosion is higher than 50 t h−1y−1) are confined to 11.46% of the total area, while the area occupied by severe erosion (erosion rate between 25 and 50 t h−1y−1) is 27.53%. The high rate of annual soil erosion is associated with areas of high terrain alteration from the plantation
activities and highly elevated hills/plateau margins with steep side slopes. Such an output is highly useful in decision making
context to avoid land acquisition in erosion risk areas, or, alternatively, to recommend soil conservation measures to reduce
soil loss, if developmental activities are to be continued at high soil erosion risk areas. 相似文献

Groundwater is the only source of drinking water for the inhabitants of the Kalahari. Thus understanding spatial and temporal
variations in groundwater recharge is very important and a regional-scale water balance model has therefore been set up for
a 209,149 km2 catchment in north-eastern Namibia and north-western Botswana. The model has a spatial resolution of 1.5 × 1.5 km, daily
model time-steps, and climatic input parameters for 19 years are used. The distributed, GIS-based, process-oriented, physical
water balance model (MODBIL) used in this study considers the major water balance components: precipitation, evapotranspiration,
groundwater recharge, and surface runoff/interflow. Mean precipitation for the study area is 409 mm a−1, while mean actual evapotranspiration is 402 mm a−1 and mean groundwater recharge is 8 mm a−1 (2% of mean annual precipitation). The recharge pattern is mainly influenced by the distribution of soil and vegetation units.
Groundwater recharge shows a high inter- and intra-annual variability, but not only the sum of annual precipitation is important
for the development of groundwater recharge; a large amount of precipitation in a relatively short period is more important.
Published independent data from the Kalahari in Namibia, Botswana and the Southern African region under similar climatic conditions
are used to verify the modelling results. 相似文献

1. | The hydroabrasive resistance of structural steels does not provide the necessary reliability of turbines operating on sediment-transporting rivers. |
2. | Case-hardening of structural steels and resistant protective coating are used for increasing the reliability and life of parts of the flow passage. |
3. | During actual service the effectiveness of casehardening decreases by half compared with laboratory tests, which is explained by the insufficient thickness of the protective layer. It is not advisable to use this type of surface protection for turbines with a high intensity of hydroabrasive action, since it is impossible to restore the protective layer under hydrostation conditions. |
4. | Two types of protective coatings have the highest priority: protective electrode hard surfacing on a cobalt base, for instance, TsN-2, which while providing a high wear resistance of the surface, E greater than 3, permits making a protective layer of the required thickness 3–5 mm and repairing the flow part of the turbine directly at the hydrostation; synthetic polyurethane-based compositions making it possible to completely cover the runners with a coating thickness of 1.5–2 mm. Destroyed polyurethane coatings can be restored directly at the hydrostation. |

The Lebanese coast is highly subject to seawater intrusion and groundwater deterioration. The study is carried out in Byblos
district (Jbeil Caza) 35 km north of Beirut. It aims to investigate the seawater intrusion, to determine the regional water
balance of the region and finally to estimate the economic value of that water for agricultural use. The monitoring of the
aquifer was achieved through samples from different wells chosen randomly. As for the regional water balance, it was determined
with use of a GIS model. The economic evaluation was carried out, using the contingent valuation method to estimate the willingness
to pay of farmers to contribute to the improvement of groundwater quality; two alternative scenarios were proposed and compared
with the current situation. The annual regional water balance is positive, which means that the region is rich in water. The
monitoring results show that the coastal part of the region is slightly contaminated by seawater intrusion due to the excess
of pumping from the aquifer. The economic evaluation estimated that farmers would contribute by 102 US$ yr − 1 for the first proposal and 166.67 US$ yr − 1 for the second. 相似文献

L-moment procedures are applied to develop regional rainfall annual maxima (maximum 24-h rainfall occurring annually), considering
complex physiographic and hydroclimatological features and weather processes as attributes influencing regional homogeneity.
Capability of L-moment procedures in breaking down large areas into coherent and homogeneous sub-regions is investigated. The study area
of 238,630 km2 is located in southwestern Iran, representing 154 rainfall recording gauges of rather complex orographic features. According
to the results and considering the extreme value nature of the analysis, i.e., rainfall annual maxima, it was possible to
establish four homogeneous sub-regions, representing areas of 80,490 km2, 75,880 km2, 31,810 km2 and 50,450 km2. The L-moment procedures successfully evaluated the homogeneity analyses and assignment of appropriate regional probability distribution
functions (PDFs) to individual sub-regions. Flood potential maps and associated rainfall depth-area information were provided
for individual sub-regions. The proposed heterogeneity measures by Hosking and Wallis (Water Resour Res 29(2):271–289, 1993), known as H
1, H
2 and H
3 tests were further investigated in this research. The results of this research confirmed findings of Hosking and Wallis (Water
Resour Res 29(2):271–289, 1993), i.e., strong capability of H
1 as a heterogeneity measure, and lack of capability of H
2 and H
3 measures for distinguishing between homogenous and heterogeneous regions. 相似文献

The generalised likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) approach was applied to assess the performance of a distributed catchment
model and to estimate prediction limits after conditioning based on observed catchment-wide streamflow. Prediction limits
were derived not only for daily streamflow but also for piezometric levels and for extreme events. The latter analysis was
carried out considering independent partial duration time series (PDS) obtained from the observed daily streamflow hydrograph.
Important data uncertainties were identified. For streamflow the stage-discharge data analysis led to estimate an average
data uncertainty of about 3 m3 s − 1. For piezometric levels, data errors were estimated to be in the order of 5 m in average and 10 m at most. The GLUE analysis
showed that most of the inspected parameters are insensitive to model performance, except the horizontal and vertical components
of the hydraulic conductivity of one of the geological layers that have the most influence on the streamflow model performance
in the application catchment. The study revealed a considerable uncertainty attached to the simulation of both high flows
and low flows (i.e., in average terms 5 m3 s − 1 before the Bayesian updating of the prediction limits). Similarly, wide prediction intervals were obtained for the piezometric
levels in relevant wells, in the order of 3.3 and 1.5 m before and after the Bayesian updating of the prediction limits, respectively.
Consequently, the results suggest that, in average terms, the model of the catchment predicts overall outputs within the limitations
of the errors in the input variables. 相似文献

Increasing urbanization changes runoff patterns to be flashy and instantaneous with decreased base flow. A model with the
ability to simulate sub-daily rainfall–runoff processes and continuous simulation capability is required to realistically
capture the long-term flow and water quality trends in watersheds that are experiencing urbanization. Soil and Water Assessment
Tool (SWAT) has been widely used in hydrologic and nonpoint sources modeling. However, its subdaily modeling capability is
limited to hourly flow simulation. This paper presents the development and testing of a sub-hourly rainfall–runoff model in
SWAT. SWAT algorithms for infiltration, surface runoff, flow routing, impoundments, and lagging of surface runoff have been
modified to allow flow simulations with a sub-hourly time interval as small as one minute. Evapotranspiration, soil water
contents, base flow, and lateral flow are estimated on a daily basis and distributed equally for each time step. The sub-hourly
routines were tested on a 1.9 km2 watershed (70% undeveloped) near Lost Creek in Austin Texas USA. Sensitivity analysis shows that channel flow parameters
are more sensitive in sub-hourly simulations (Δt = 15 min) while base flow parameters are more important in daily simulations (Δt = 1 day). A case study shows that the sub-hourly SWAT model reasonably reproduces stream flow hydrograph under multiple storm
events. Calibrated stream flow for 1 year period with 15 min simulation (R
2 = 0.93) shows better performance compared to daily simulation for the same period (R
2 = 0.72). A statistical analysis shows that the improvement in the model performance with sub-hourly time interval is mostly
due to the improvement in predicting high flows. The sub-hourly version of SWAT is a promising tool for hydrology and non-point
source pollution assessment studies, although more development on water quality modeling is still needed. 相似文献

Treated wastewater (TWW) reuse has increasingly been integrated in the planning and development of water resources in Tunisia.
The present study aimed the evaluation of the environmental and health impact that would have the reuse of TWW for crops direct
irrigation or for the recharge of the local aquifer in Korba (Tunisia). For this purpose water analyses were carried on the
TWW intended for the aquifer recharge and on underground water of this area. As for underground water before recharge, no
contamination by organic matter or heavy metals is shown but high salinity, nitrate, potassium and chloride concentrations
are detected. The bacteriological analyses show the occurrence of faecal streptococcus, thermo-tolerant coliforms, total coliforms
and E coli, but absence of salmonella. These results indicate that this water is not suitable for irrigation worse still for
drinking purpose. The monitoring of TWW pollutants has demonstrated that oxygen demands (COD and BOD) do not exceed the Tunisian
standards for TWW used in agriculture (NT 106.03) except for August when samples reach high values (COD = 139 mg O2 L − 1, BOD = 34). It is also the case for temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), salinity and pH. Heavy metal concentrations
are under the detection limit. The determination of nutrients shows relatively low concentrations of nitrates, nitrites and
orthophosphate (the maxima in mg L − 1 are respectively 6.6, 5.6 and 0.92) whereas the potassium levels are high (up to 48.8 mg L − 1) and the ammonia levels very high, reaching 60.6 mg L − 1. As for bacteriological pollution, while no salmonella and intestinal nematods are detected, high concentrations of total
coliforms, thermo-tolerant coliforms, faecal streptococci and E. coli are analysed. Consequently, the better use of TWW in
this region would be the use of infiltration basins for the recharge of the deteriorated aquifer by TWW. It would give the
opportunity to better the quality of the TWW reaching the groundwater by an additional treatment for bacteriological and suspended
solid (TSS) contaminants while being an alternative water for the aquifer recharge and a coastal barrier against seawater
intrusion. 相似文献

Assessing Crop Water Demand by Remote Sensing and GIS for the Pontina Plain, Central Italy 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Raffaele Casa Matteo Rossi Giuseppe Sappa Antonio Trotta 《Water Resources Management》2009,23(9):1685-1712
An estimation of the crop water requirements for the Pontina Plain, Central Italy, was carried out through the use of remote
sensing land classification and application of a simple water balance scheme in a GIS environment. The overall crop water
demand for the 700 km2 area was estimated at about 70 Mm3 year − 1, i.e. 100 Mm3 year − 1 irrigation requirements when considering an average irrigation application efficiency of 70%. The simplest and least demanding
available methodology, in terms of data and resources, was chosen. The methodology, based on remote sensing and GIS, employed
only 4 Landsat ETM+ images and a few meteorological and geographical vectorial layers. The procedure allowed the elaboration
of monthly maps of crop evapotranspiration. The application of a spatially distributed simple water balance model, lead to
the estimation of temporal and spatial variation of crop water requirements in the study area. This study contributes to fill
a gap in the knowledge on agricultural use of water resources in the area, which is essential for the implementation of a
sustainable and sound water policy as required in the region for the application of the EU Water Framework Directive. 相似文献

Predictive Simulation of Flow and Solute Transport for Managing the Salalah Coastal Aquifer, Oman 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
A three-dimensional numerical model for flow and solute transport was used for the management of the Salalah aquifer. The
model calibration procedures consisted of calibrating the aquifer system hydraulic parameters by history matching under steady
and transient conditions. The history of input and output of the aquifer were reconstructed in a transient calibration from
1993 to 2005. Predictive simulation of the aquifer was carried out under transient conditions to predict the future demand
of groundwater supply for the next 15 years. A baseline scenario was worked out to obtain the piezometric surface and salinity
distribution for the “business as usual” conditions of the aquifer. The “business as usual” scenario was predicted and simulated
for the period 2006 until 2020. The effectiveness of seven management options was proposed and assessed for comparison with
the “business as usual” conditions. The established simulation model was used to predict the distribution of the piezometric
surface, salinity distribution, and mass balance under the proposed scenarios for the prediction period 2006–2020. The scenarios
were: (1) relocate Garziz and MAF farms far from the freshwater zone, (2) suspend the abstraction of grass production for
4 months a year, (3) changes in agricultural and irrigation system patterns, (4) establish a desalination plant, (5) combined
scenario (1 + 4), (6) combined scenario (1 + 3), and (7) combining all scenarios (1 + 2 + 3 + 4). The result of the simulation
shows that the best effective option in terms of aquifer groundwater levels is the fifth proposed scenario and the sixth proposed
scenario is the best effective option in terms of aquifer groundwater salinity situation during the next 15 years. This project
suggested the application of scenario 6 as it is environmentally sound in terms of sustainable management. A prediction has
been made which shows that further actions have to be taken within the next two decades to ensure continuity of the municipal
water supply. The management scenarios are examined in the case of the Salalah coastal aquifer using groundwater simulation,
which can also be applied to other regions with similar conditions. The established model is considered a reasonable representation
of the physical conditions of the Salalah plain aquifer, and can be used as a tool by the water and environmental authorities
in the management of the groundwater in the region. 相似文献
