Complex patterns of phosphorus delivery in the Lake of the Woods watershed

Lake of the Woods (LoW) is a large, transboundary lake that continues to experience harmful algal blooms despite large declines in phosphorus (P) inputs from point sources. Tributary runoff is considered the largest source of P to the lake; however, there are few monitoring data within the Canadian portion of the basin (～60% of total area), to guide management. To address this gap, we monitored five rivers of contrasting land use within the lower Rainy River region, an acknowledged “hot spot” of P delivery in the basin. Total P (TP) concentrations were consistently high at all five rivers (volume-weighted range: 19–215 μg/l) despite differences in agriculture across sites (7–27%), suggesting ‘natural’ background P levels are high in this landscape. Furthermore, TP concentrations were strongly correlated with total suspended sediment and geogenic metals, iron (Fe) and aluminum, and TP was especially high during events (>400 μg/l) indicating erosion is an important source of P delivery. However, equally high TP and Fe during periods of slow, stagnant flow in the summer and under winter ice suggest erosion is not the only source of P. Instead, we suggest redox release of P from streambed sediment is also important. This observation is significant, because internal P release within the tributaries, especially during the summer could ‘seed’ downstream algal blooms. The strong sensitivity of TP to both high and low flow conditions indicates that frequent, all-season, multi-year measurements are needed to understand the mechanisms of P delivery in this basin.     

塔里木河“二源一干”生态供水潜力研究

为解决塔里木河干流水资源短缺、流域损失水量过大、用水效率低下、农业灌溉用水挤占生态用水等问题,基于“节水优先”的治水方针,以塔里木河二源流(阿克苏河、叶尔羌河)及其干流(“二源一干”)的山区水库群和平原水库群为研究对象,兼顾塔里木河干流的农业灌溉用水、生态用水、工业用水、生活用水等多目标,构建并求解了现状水平年和远景规划年的山区与平原水库群联合调度优化模型,分析了塔里木河干流的生态供水潜力和山区水库群联合调度的贡献。结果表明：仅通过干流平原水库群联合调度,农业灌溉用水和生态用水的供水保证率难以满足设计要求;通过山区与平原水库群优化调度,在远景规划年各行业均满足设计保证率要求,体现了山区水库群显著的调控性能和“节水优先”治水方针的合理性和可靠性;远景规划年塔里木河干流的生态供水潜力为2.84亿m³,可为塔里木河下游生态保护与修复提供了坚实的水量基础。     

梅溪流域城镇化进程对山前平原区洪涝过程的影响

为探究城镇化进程引起土地利用类型变化对山前平原区洪涝过程的影响,以梅溪流域下游平原区的洪濑镇为例,分析了2002—2018年梅溪流域上游山区和下游平原区的土地利用类型变化,并基于多情景数值模拟,研究了流域尺度内土地利用类型变化对山前平原区洪涝过程和地表淹没状况的影响。结果表明：随着梅溪流域耕地和林地面积减少、城镇建设用地增加,上游山区的径流系数和峰值流量均增大,下游山前平原区的淹没状况更加严重;上游山区的城镇建设用地增加使山区骤发洪水峰值流量增大、峰现时间提前,主要影响地表平均最大淹没水深和平均峰现时间;下游平原区的城镇建设用地增加使内涝发生的时间提前,主要影响地表平均淹没历时。     

基于组合赋权模糊物元可拓模型的渭河流域甘肃段河流健康评价

从水文完整性、化学完整性、形态结构完整性、生物完整性及社会服务功能5个准则层出发,构建了渭河流域甘肃段河流健康评价指标体系;采用基于改进层次分析法和Critic法的组合赋权法和模糊物元可拓模型计算河流健康状况评价等级,对渭河流域甘肃段河流健康状况进行了评价,并结合障碍诊断模型,分析了该研究区域河流健康突出问题。结果表明：2017—2019年渭河流域甘肃段干流河流健康等级均为亚健康状态,且呈现小幅好转趋势;5个准则层中化学完整性表现最差,流域治理应重点关注河流水质治理;评价河段的敏感度指标与水文、化学、生物完整性相关,是提高河流健康水平最有效的敏感因子。     

基于2030可持续发展目标的珠三角土地消耗率与人口增长率协调关系评价

量化联合国可持续发展目标SDG 11.3.1“土地消耗率与人口增长率的比率（LCRPGR）”有助于了解城市扩张与人口增长之间的关系,为城市国土空间规划和人口城镇化调控提供数据支撑,并且对指导决策者制定城市增长计划至关重要。基于土地利用产品、夜间灯光数据和人口普查数据,提取了城市建成区,利用地理加权回归模型测算了珠三角地区1 km×1 km格网尺度人口密度。依据SDG 11.3.1指标元数据中定义和公式,对珠三角地区可持续发展进行了可靠评价。结果显示：①1990~2010年珠三角建成区面积扩张4.6倍,城区人口增长3.7倍;②1990~2010年珠三角的LCRPGR值由0.71增长到2.01;城市扩张速度与人口增长速度并非是成比例协调增长关系;③建成区的扩张主要是由耕地和农村居民用地转换而来。综上,自2000年后珠三角地区土地消耗率已经超过人口增长率,城市扩张速度与人口增长速度并非是成比例协调增长关系,二者的差异在增大,应当引起一定注意。     

Coupling watershed modeling,public engagement,and soil analysis improves decision making for targeting P retention wetland locations

Constructed and restored wetlands can be effective sinks for particulate and dissolved phosphorus (P) if properly managed, but identifying suitable P retention wetland locations remains challenging. From a landscape perspective, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) models identify locations within target watersheds with high nutrient loads that exhibit appropriate site characteristics and hydrodynamics. However, soil properties vary at the field scale, dictating the capacity of wetland systems to remove P and ultimately determining if a given wetland will operate as a sink or source of P over time. Land ownership and site access further complicate identification of P retention wetland locations. As a result, optimization and identification of P retention wetland locations requires analysis at both 1) watershed and 2) field scales, and 3) public engagement. In response, a survey effort linked SWAT model results that identified locations with target watersheds with field soil P storage capacity data and interested landowners. Results suggest that several locations recommended for their high SWAT-predicted P loading and landowner interest were in fact not well suited for project implementation due to soil P saturation and legacy P constraints. These findings highlight the need to couple watershed models with field scale soils analysis to identify locations for P retention wetlands in order to avoid unintended P release. Additionally, increased collaboration with social scientists and others familiar with public engagement strategies is needed to improve outreach activities targeting regional water quality improvements. Practical applications for nutrient retention wetland site selection are also discussed.

以引汉济渭秦岭输水隧洞5号支洞为研究对象,微震监测技术为手段,微震数据及岩爆实录资料为基础,分析了诱发岩爆的原因,并在此基础上探究了微震事件活动与岩爆的关系。研究结果表明：地应力和掘进速率是诱发岩爆产生的主要影响因素,且埋深不同,其对岩爆产生的影响程度不同;微震事件的空间分布特征与掌子面位置存在紧密联系,其“时、空、强”特征可以形象地演示岩爆的产生过程并用于对岩爆的预测预警;岩爆不会一直持续发生,而是会经历扰动开挖-裂隙产生-岩体储能-裂纹发育贯通-能量释放的过程,且当能量释放不彻底时,容易形成频发型岩爆。
