Ephemeroptera,Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata(Insecta)Diversity and Distribution at Bukit Merah Resevoir River Feeders

A study on the distribution of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata in relation of environmental interruptions was done at three different rivers tributaries of Bukit Merah Reservoir, Perak namely Sungai Jelai, Sungai Ara, and Sungai Kurau from October 2013 to January 2014. A total of 1 942 individuals were collected during the 4month of the study. The number of Ephemeroptera was highest, which was found at Sungai Jelai and Sungai Kurau and dominated by Baetis from family Baetidae while at Sungai Kurau dominated by Trichoptera, Hydropsyche from family Hydropsychidae. Ecological and biological indices have been used to evaluate the diversity of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata at each river. The highest Simpson's diversity index(D=0.893) and Pielou's evenness index(E=0.803) were recorded at Sungai Jelai while Sungai Ara had the highest value of Margalef's richness index(MgR I=5.698). The variance for the assemblages of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata influenced by9 chemical and physical variables was really a satisfactory with total variance explained of 57.2%. The results of canonical correspondence analysis(CCA) model showed that two groups of insects taxa characterized by water parameters.The first group from the CCA analysis clustered the Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata genera showed that deterioration in dissolved oxygen concentration, pH and nitrate while the second group showed dependence on total dissolved solids(TDS), conductivity, total suspended solid(TSS) and velocity. The study showed that the distribution of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata taxa was affected by the environmental interruptions such as human residential area, agricultural plantation and river embankment.     

Pollution characteristics of the rivers in suburban Shanghai

Forty middle and small rivers in three towns of Fengjing, Songjiang and Zhujiajiao of suburban Shanghai were chosen as sampling sites for water quality research. Measurement results of DO, CODCr, TP, TN and so on show that the rivers are under heavy eutropic conditions, which are several times greater than the critical values of the worst level (Type V) of water. Water pollution situation has different temporal and spatial characteristics. Non-point pollution, such as village domestic sewage, farmland runoff, livestock feces, has become the primary source of pollution of the middle and small rivers in suburban Shanghai.     

Influence of urbanization on water quality deterioration during drought periods at South Jordan

The study investigated the effect of urbanization, drought and pollution on the deterioration of water quality in the Tafila Basin in southern Jordan during the year 2000. Six representative springs were chosen, from which 84 water samples were analysed for their chemical and biological characteristics. In addition, 75 samples were analysed for their chemical characteristics during the period 1978–1999. The arid and semi-arid climatic characteristics, high population growth and the lack of sewer systems cause pollution. The infiltration of waste water from septic tanks into springs and ground-water resources is considered the most prominent cause. The primary evaluated parameters are EC, NO₃, faecal coliform, total coliform and total count. Their concentration is accelerating, due to the increase of waste water in comparison to fresh water quantity. The fracture system associated with Upper Cretaceous carbonates allows the waste water to recharge the springs very quickly and without any purification. Connecting the scattered buildings with the Tafila Treatment Plant (TTP), built in 1988, will stop or decrease the pollution and allow the springs to refresh themselves. The TTP is under-loaded, and its effluent water can be used for irrigation.

Quantitative characterization and comprehensive evaluation of regional water resources using the Three Red Lines method

Based on the synergetic development of new industrialization, rapid urbanization and agricultural modernization (IUAM), and from the viewpoint of interactive relationships between water resources and regional population, eco-environment, economy and society, the concepts of water resources intensity (WRI), water environment intensity (WEI), water resources relative efficiency (WRRE) and water environment relative efficiency (WERE) are defined with reference to energy intensity, resources efficiency and environment efficiency theory. On the basis of benchmarking theory, the quantitative characterization and evaluation method of “Three Red Lines” (the upper limit of water resources allocation, the baseline of utilization efficiency of water resources and the upper limit of sewage discharge) is proposed. According to these concepts and models, an empirical analysis of the Three Red Lines of water resources on the Chinese mainland between 2003 and 2012 was carried out. The results showed that total water consumption in eastern, central and western parts of China possesses “club convergence” characteristics, which means these areas have similar internal conditions appeared convergence in the development. Inter-provincial differences in water consumption continue to decrease, but the north–south differentiation characteristics in the eastern and central regions were still relatively obvious, while provincial differences in the eastern part were at a minimum and the central region had the largest. Water Resources Efficiency (WRE) of all four sectors in the Southwest rivers and Huaihe River basins were generally high. Industrial WRRE in the Songhua River, Yangtze River and Pearl River basins, agricultural WRRE in the Songhua River, Yellow River and northwestern river basins and domestic WRRE in the Liaohe River, Yangtze River and Pearl River basins were all low. Eco-environmental WRRE in the southeastern rivers and Yangtze River basins were low but showed an upward trend. Other river basins, except for the Northwestern rivers basin, had high eco-environmental WRRE with a downward trend. Western China, especially the northwestern part, had a low relative intensity of the water environment (WERI) and high integrated water environment management (IWEM) performance, but the relative intensities of the water resources (WRRI) were fairly high, and the comprehensive performance of integrated water resources management (IWRM) in these regions was low. In southern China, especially the southeastern part, the IWEM was fairly high, but the overall IWRM was lower.

研究盐渍化土壤的光谱特性是利用遥感技术实现在区域尺度上进行土壤盐渍化监测和评价的工作基础, 是建立地面数据和遥感数据关系的桥梁。本文以塔里木河中游典型绿洲--渭干河-库车河三角洲绿洲为研究对象, 采用光谱学技术以及多元统计相结合的方法, 研究干旱区典型绿洲盐渍化土壤的反射光谱特征。首先, 对光谱数据进行预处理(去噪、剔除水分吸收波段), 以便消除仪器本身噪声及外界条件的影响, 并且计算了部分盐渍地样本的光谱吸收特征参数, 说明相同程度的盐渍化土壤具有相似的吸收特征;其次, 研究盐渍化土壤的反射光谱与盐分因子(八大离子、电导率(EC)、含盐量(salt content)、pH、总溶解固体(TDS)等) 之间的关系, 并选择具有代表性的盐分因子与野外实测光谱数据建立定量回归模型, 通过多元线性回归分析得出含盐量、SO₄^2-、TDS、EC与原始光谱数据的相关性分别是0.746、0.908、0.798 和0.933, 达到了理想的效果。本研究对于干旱区典型绿洲盐渍土的光谱特征研究有着重要指示意义, 为发展和完善中国盐渍土理化特征的可见光-近红外反射光谱分析理论奠定科学积累, 并进一步为干旱区土壤盐渍化、沙漠化灾害等环境恶化问题的解决提供新的科学技术手段。     

北疆地区的水化学组成特征及其影响因素

流域尺度上的水化学组成特征和来源会受到何种因素的影响和限制,是研究区乃至全球环境变化的焦点问题,需要综合考虑不同地表要素和环境下的天然水体来揭示其答案。本文选择北疆地区的三大水系（伊犁水系、准噶尔水系、额尔齐斯水系）开展水化学组成研究,以期认识中亚造山带中部干旱环境下典型水系的水化学组成特征、成因及其影响因素。本研究利用已采集的北疆三大水系天然水样品及其水化学组成分析数据,同时系统收集了北疆及其周边地区文献资料,并与其他中纬度地区和国际典型气候带地区进行了综合对比。综合数据分析结果表明,北疆水系的河流溶解性固体总浓度（TDS值）普遍高于中国季风区和湿润地区河流,也高于世界平均水平;水体的主要阴阳离子分别以Ca²⁺和HCO₃^-占主导地位;主量离子间相对浓度与中国东部季风区河流类似,也与世界大部分以碳酸盐岩风化为主导的河流相似。岩石风化作用在水化学成因上对北疆大部分地区都占据主导地位;进一步定量的结果发现,不同来源对天然水溶质贡献量大小的顺序为：蒸发岩溶解>碳酸盐岩风化>硅酸盐岩风化>大气降水,证明了蒸发岩溶解和碳酸盐岩风化的主导地位。对比硅酸盐岩风化与碳酸盐岩风化,北疆水系的中低地形区硅酸盐岩影响更大,海拔较高的山地地区则碳酸盐岩影响更大。区域降水、水热组合、径流、岩性等因素都对水化学过程产生重要的影响,但与温度的关系不明显,与流域物理侵蚀过程及其季节变化等的关系尚不明确,需要开展进一步的研究工作。

Downstream hydrologic and geomorphic effects of large dams on American rivers

The hydrology and geomorphology of large rivers in America reflect the pervasive influence of an extensive water control infrastructure including more than 75,000 dams. One hundred thirty-seven of the very large dams, each storing 1.2 km³ (10⁶ acre feet) of water or more, alter the flows of every large river in the country. The hydrologic effects of these very large dams emerge from an analysis of the stream gage records of 72 river reaches organized into 36 pairs. One member of each pair is an unregulated reach above a dam, whereas the other is a regulated reach downstream from the same structure. Comparison of the regulated and unregulated reaches shows that very large dams, on average, reduce annual peak discharges 67% (in some individual cases up to 90%), decrease the ratio of annual maximum/mean flow 60%, decrease the range of daily discharges 64%, increase the number of reversals in discharge by 34%, and reduce the daily rates of ramping as much as 60%. Dams alter the timing of high and low flows and change the timing of the yearly maximum and minimum flows, in some cases by as much as half a year. Regional variation in rivers, dams, and responses are substantial: rivers in the Great Plains and Ozark/Ouachita regions have annual maximum/mean flow ratios that are 7 times greater than ratios for rivers in the Pacific Northwest. At the same time, the ratio of storage capacity/mean annual water yield for dams is greatest for Interior Western, Ozark/Ouachita and Great Plains rivers and least for Pacific Northwest streams. Thus, in many cases those rivers with the highest annual variability have the greatest potential impact from dams because structures can exert substantial control over downstream hydrology. The hydrologic changes by dams have fostered dramatic geomorphic differences between regulated and unregulated reaches. When compared to similar unregulated reaches, regulated reaches have 32% larger low flow channels, 50% smaller high flow channels, 79% less active flood plain area, and 3.6 times more inactive flood plain area. Dams also affect the area of active areas, the functional surfaces that are functionally connected to the present regime of the river. Regulated reaches have active areas that are 72 smaller than the active areas of similar unregulated reaches. The geomorphic complexity (number of separate functional surfaces per unit of channel length) is 37% less in regulated reaches. Reductions in the size of hydrologically active functional surfaces are greatest in rivers in the Great Plains and least in Eastern streams. The largest differences in geomorphic complexity are in interior western rivers. The shrunken, simplified geomorphology of regulated large rivers has had direct effects on riparian ecology, producing spatially smaller, less diverse riparian ecosystems compared to the larger, more complex ecosystems along unregulated reaches of rivers.

A New Approach for the Health Assessment of River Systems Based on Interconnected Water System Networks

Interconnected river system networks is a national water conservancy strategy in China and focus of research. Here we discuss the classification system, material and energy exchange between rivers and lakes, various dynamic flows and ecological functions of river-lake interconnected relationships. We then propose a novel method for the health assessment of river systems based on interconnected water system networks. In a healthy river system there is “material and energy exchange” and it is the first and foremost relationship of material and energy exchange between rivers and lakes. There are unobstructed various “flows” between rivers and lakes including material flows (water, dissolved substances, sediments, organisms and contaminants), energy flows (water levels, flow and flow velocity), information flows (information generated with water flows, organisms and human activities) and value flows (shipping, power generation, drinking and irrigation). Under the influences of nature and human activity, various flows are connected by river-lake interconnection to carry material and energy exchange between rivers and lakes to achieve river-lake interactions. The material and energy exchange between rivers and lakes become one of the approaches and the direct driving forces of changes in river-lake interconnected relationships. The benignant changes in river-lake interconnected relationship tend to be in relatively steady state and in ideal dynamic balance.

A chironomid-based salinity inference model from lakes on the Tibetan Plateau

Previous studies have shown chironomids to be excellent indicators of environmental change and training sets have been developed in order to allow these changes to be reconstructed quantitatively from subfossil sequences. Here we present the results of an investigation into the relationships between surface sediment subfossil chironomid distribution and lake environmental variables from 42 lakes on the Tibetan Plateau. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) revealed that of the 11 measured environmental variables, salinity (measured as total dissolved solids TDS) was most important, accounting for 10.5% of the variance in the chironomid data. This variable was significant enough to allow the development of quantitative inference models. A range of TDS inference models were developed using Weighted Averaging (WA), Partial Least Squares (PLS), Weighted Averaging–Partial Least Squares (WA–PLS), Maximum Likelihood (ML), Modern Analogues Technique (MAT) and Modern Analogues Techniques weighted by similarity (WMAT). Evaluation of the site data indicated that four lakes were major outliers, and after omitting these from the training set the models produced jack-knifed coefficients of determination (r ²) between 0.60 and 0.80, and root-mean-squared errors of prediction (RMSEP) between 0.29 and 0.44 log₁₀ TDS. The best performing model was the two-component WA–PLS model with r ² _jack = 0.80 and RMSEP_jack = 0.29 log₁₀ TDS. The model results were similar to other chironomid-salinity models developed in different regions, and they also showed similar ecological groupings along the salinity gradient with respect to freshwater/salinity thresholds and community diversity. These results therefore indicate that similar processes may be controlling chironomid distribution across salinity gradients irrespective of biogeographical constraints. The performance of the transfer functions illustrates that chironomid assemblages from the Tibetan Plateau lakes are clearly sensitive indicators of salinity. The models will therefore allow the quantification of long-term records of past water salinity for lacustrine sites across the Tibetan Plateau, which has important implications for future hydrological research in the region.     

天水及其南北地区地热水水化学特征及起源

Progress in the Research on Benefit-sharing and Ecological Compensation Mechanisms for Transboundary Rivers

Transboundary rivers have important geopolitical and geo-economic connotations, but riparian states of transboundary rivers are often driven by their own rapid population growth and economic development to be-come involved in regional conflicts about the development and use of water resources. Therefore, finding a balance between the need for fair and reasonable development of water resources and the effective protection of environment from an ecological perspective has become a major problem faced by the international community. This paper begins with consideration of international water laws related to transboundary rivers and then reviews advances in the research on benefit-sharing, ecological compensation mechanisms, and adaptive management systems. We believe that existing international water laws form a complete legal system and that more attention needs to be paid to transboundary cooperation and sustainable water resource use. With respect to how transboundary water conflicts are resolved, there is a trend to move away from single water resource allocation (a zero-sum game) to benefit-sharing in order to achieve a win-win situation for riparian states, but there are still some difficulties in transboundary ecological compensation. In China, the central government has paid attention to horizontal ecological compensation between upstream and downstream, offering guidance to promote establishment of inter-province ecological compensation. Based on existing practice, horizontal ecological compensations are still in their infancy, small in scale, supported by a weak legal system, lacking market mechanisms to encourage their use and relying on fiscal transfers as the method of payment. In the future, China will need to intensify its research on legal system development, international cooperation, and benefit-sharing as these impact transboundary water resources. Because government can be seen as a management department with multiple identities (enabler, regulator and buyer), to improve adaptive transboundary ecological compensation mechanisms, government must develop as soon as possible data sharing platforms, standards of water consumption behaviors and intergovernmental policies (or ordinances).
