Evaluation of several techniques for estimating stormwater runoff in arid watersheds

Several traditional techniques have been used for estimating storm-water runoff from ungauged watersheds. Some of these techniques were applied to watersheds of Rashadia in south-eastern desert of Jordan. When engineers apply rainfall-runoff models for hydrologic design, there are difficulties in defining and quantifying peak discharges that are required to design different types of hydraulic structures. The lack of data presents major difficulties for rainfall-runoff modeling in arid regions. These regions have characteristically high rainfall intensity and consequent flash floods. The specific objectives of this study are: (1) apply synthetic hydrographs for estimating peak discharges from limited hydrological data. (2) Evaluate the reliability of six techniques to accurately estimate storm-water runoff; and, to evaluate the runoff that is required to design hydraulic structures such as bridges, culverts and dams. (3) Estimate the flood resulting from direct runoff after subtracting all the loses such as: the infiltration, interflow and evaporation. (4) Develop a simple regression relationship between peak flow discharges and catchment areas. The results show that there is uncertainty in determining the accuracy of storm-water volume, this is due to several methods were utilizing the estimation the hydrographs base time, but promising results in predicting the peak flow discharge.     

降雨条件下滑坡排水沟排水数值模拟

地表排水沟是滑坡治理常见措施之一。在降雨入渗与坡面径流有限元耦合模型中,通过调整径流方程中的坡度参数,实现地表排水沟排水模型。模型具有易于理解、实现简单的优点。以地表排水模型为基础,对5种典型滑坡在设与不设排水沟情况下坡体渗流场、坡面径流场、坡体入渗量和入渗过程进行了数值模拟。结果表明,当降雨强度相对土体渗透性较小时,排水沟设置在坡体渗透性由小变大的位置,才能有效地截断上游径流,减小入渗量;而当降雨强度相对土体渗透性较大时,排水沟排水效果并不明显。     

喀斯特裸坡土壤侵蚀模拟研究

文章通过人工模拟降雨试验,研究不同地下孔（裂）隙度、基岩裸露率和雨强对地表、地下产流、产沙的影响,其结果表明:（1）土壤侵蚀与地下孔（裂）隙度具有较高相关性,地表产流、产沙随地下孔（裂）隙度的增大而减小,而地下则相反;（2）坡面径流刚产生时,雨滴击溅和薄层水流冲刷,土壤细小颗粒堵塞其毛管空隙,渗漏率减小,而地表径流量增大,土壤团聚体被破坏、分散和迁移,降水与土壤渗漏率增大,地表径流量减小,雨滴击溅增强,如此循环,降水与土壤渗漏率呈波动性变化;总体而言,地表、地下悬移质均随降雨历时呈下降趋势,而地表推移质则相反,地表、地下产流量变幅较小,趋于平行;（3）地表产流、产沙量随基岩裸露率增大呈波动性变化,总体呈下降趋势;而地下产流、产沙量随基岩裸露率增大呈波动性变化,总体呈增大趋势;（4）在较小雨强30 mm/h时,地表只产生悬移质流失,没有产生推移质流失;地表、地下产流、产沙都是随雨强增大而增大;雨强由30 mm/h增大到150 mm/h,地表累积产流量为538.5 L,累积产沙量为2 393.81 g,地下累积产流量为207.8 L,累积产沙量为687.73 g,累积产沙量的递增速率比累积产流量的递增速率要大,地表产流、产沙的递增速率大于地下产流、产沙的递增速率;（5）各因子与土壤侵蚀间相关程度为:降雨历时>雨强>地下孔（裂）隙度>基岩裸露率。该实验有助于为喀斯特地区的水土流失研究、评价及制订石漠化治理措施提供理论依据。      

Regional modelling of rainfall-induced runoff using hydrological model by incorporating plant cover effects: case study in Kelantan,Malaysia

The objective of this paper is to develop a spatial temporal runoff modelling of local rainfall patterns effect on the plant cover hilly lands in Kelantan River Basin. Rainfall interception loss based on leaf area index, loss/infiltration on the ground surface, and runoff calculation were considered as the main plant cover effects on the runoff volume. In this regard, a hydrological and geotechnical grid-based regional model (integrated model) was performed using Microsoft Excel^® and GIS framework system for deterministic modelling of rainfall-induced runoff by incorporating plant cover effects. The infiltration process of the current model was integrated with the precipitation distribution method and rainfall interception approach while the runoff analysis of integrated model was employed based on loss/infiltration water on the ground surface with consideration of water interception loss by canopy and the remaining surface water. In the following, the spatial temporal analysis of rainfall-induced runoff was performed using 10 days of hourly rainfall events at the end of December 2014 in Kelantan River Basin. The corresponding changes in pressure head and consequent rate of infiltration were calculated during rainfall events. Subsequently, flood volume is computed using local rainfall patterns, along with water interception loss and the remaining surface water in the study area. The results showed the land cover changes caused significant differences in hydrological response to surface water. The increase in runoff volume of the Kelantan River Basin is as a function of deforestation and urbanization, especially converting the forest area to agricultural land (i.e. rubber and mixed agriculture).

基于COMSOL Multiphysics的非饱和裂隙土降雨入渗特性研究

基于COMSOL Multiphysics软件对非饱和裂隙土降雨入渗特性进行数值模拟研究。通过将裂隙和基质分别离散成有限单元,建立了能充分模拟土中裂隙流、基质流以及裂隙-基质流量交换的离散裂隙-孔隙介质模型。结合"空气单元"的概念,对裂隙土的上边界进行模拟。该方法不仅能描述降雨初期雨水沿裂隙优先入渗的现象,还能描述当降雨量大于裂隙土入渗量时雨水沿地表流走的现象。通过对地表以下2 m深度内低渗含裂隙土体进行模拟,分析了裂隙的几何特征、基质的水力特性、前期水分条件以及降雨强度对非饱和裂隙土降雨入渗过程的影响。结果表明,在非饱和裂隙土中,存在两个主要的渗流过程:一是水沿裂隙优先流动;二是水不断从裂隙吸入基质中,基质吸收水的作用抑制了裂隙中优势流的发展。与裂隙的几何特征相比,基质的水力特性对非饱和裂隙土渗流的影响较大。增大基质的饱和渗透系数可能使由裂隙流主导的渗流过程转变为由基质流主导的渗流过程,而基质的非饱和特性与裂隙土的初始含水率改变了土体的储水能力,从而加速或延缓了降雨入渗至某一深度的时间。降雨强度对土体入渗速率和入渗量均有影响,当超过裂隙土的入渗能力时,多余积水沿地表流走,断面入渗率随...

基于统计理论的产流模型

提出了一个基于统计理论的产流模型,该模型考虑了降雨、土壤下渗能力及土壤蓄水容量的空间变异性。假定每个时段的降雨量在空间上可以用概率密度函数或分布函数描述,根据实测降雨资料通过统计拟合优度途径估计各时段降雨的空间概率分布;采用抛物线型函数分别描述土壤下渗能力和土壤蓄水容量的空间分布。按照超渗产流机制计算地表产流量,通过降雨量和土壤下渗能力的联合分布推导得到地表径流量的统计分布,进而得到平均产流量的解析表达式。下渗水量补充土壤含水量,假定满足田间持水量后形成地下径流,其产流量根据下渗量和土壤蓄水容量的空间分配曲线进行计算。以半湿润的黄河支流伊河东湾流域为例,对模型进行了验证和应用,并与新安江模型的结果进行了对比。结果表明,模型对所研究的半湿润区的洪水模拟预报有较好的模拟效果。     

砾石覆盖紫色土坡耕地水文过程

紫色土中砾石分布广泛,地表常为砾石覆盖,砾石覆盖对土壤水文过程有着重要影响。试验小区(2 m×1 m)为坡度23°的坡耕地, 试验降雨强度为(53.9±2.8)mm/h、 (90.8±6.1)mm/h和(134.3±14.9)mm/h, 砾石覆盖度为0%,11%,20%,33%和42%。通过原位人工模拟降雨试验,定量研究了不同降雨强度下砾石覆盖对降雨入渗、地表产流及壤中流产流的影响。结果表明:砾石覆盖对入渗过程影响显著,稳定入渗速率及稳定入渗系数与砾石覆盖度呈正相关关系,3种降雨强度下,稳定入渗系数分别为47.70%~86.59%,30.61%~82.83%、17.76%~77.44%,42%砾石覆盖度小区的稳定入渗速率分别是裸露小区的1.95~4.94倍;地表砾石覆盖延迟地表产流、减少地表径流量,地表产流时间随着砾石覆盖度的提高呈增加趋势,地表径流速率及地表径流系数随砾石覆盖度的增加而降低,相对地表径流系数与地表砾石覆盖度呈指数负相关关系;地表砾石覆盖促进壤中流的发生、增加壤中流量,壤中流产流时间随着砾石覆盖度的增加逐渐缩短,壤中流径流速率及壤中流径流系数随地表砾石覆盖度的增加而提高,相对壤中流径流系数与地表砾石覆盖度呈指数正相关关系。     

Investigation of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of GMZ bentonite pellet mixtures

Bentonite pellet mixtures are considered as one of the candidate sealing materials for deep geological disposals of radioactive waste. One of the particularities of this material is the initial heterogeneous distribution of pellets and porosity within the mixture, leading to complex hydro-mechanical behaviour. In this paper, the hydro-mechanical properties of GMZ bentonite pellet mixtures were investigated in the laboratory by carrying out water retention tests on pellet mixtures under constant-volume condition and single pellets under free swelling condition, as well as a infiltration test on a column specimen of pellet mixture. In the infiltration test, the relative humidity and radial swelling pressure were monitored at five heights, the axial swelling pressure was also recorded. The instantaneous profile method was applied to determine the unsaturated hydraulic conductivities. Results show that, in high suction range (>?10 MPa) the water retention curve of pellet mixture under constant-volume condition was comparable to that of a single pellet under free swelling condition, while in low suction range (<?10 MPa) the latter exhibits a much higher water retention capacity. Due to clogging of large pores, the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity decreases as suction decreases to around 25 MPa. However, with further suction decrease, the hydraulic conductivity increases continuously until the value at saturated state, as in the case of most unsaturated soils. The radial swelling pressure at different heights develops with local sudden increase and decrease, which was attributed to local rearrangement of pellets upon wetting. By contrast, as the axial swelling pressure was measured on the global surface of the specimen, it develops in a more regular fashion.

     

含碎石紫色土坡面降雨入渗和产流产沙过程

在室内土槽模拟降雨试验基础上,观测了具有不同碎石体积含量紫色土的降雨入渗地表产流产沙量以及细沟间径流和细沟径流的流速,以期建立碎石含量与土壤流失的定量关系。研究结果表明:土壤中碎石混合对降雨入渗有正负两方面的影响,当碎石含量为20%~30%时,碎石的存在增强土壤入渗能力,当碎石含量提高到30%时,土壤的入渗能力被削弱。土壤中碎石混合通过不同的作用机制对坡面细沟间径流流速和细沟径流流速产生不同的影响,随着碎石含量的增加,细沟间径流平均流速逐渐增加,细沟径流的平均流速逐渐降低。土壤中碎石混合通过改变土壤的物质组成和结构,增强土壤的抗蚀性和抗冲性,随着碎石含量的增加,径流含沙率和土壤流失量显著降低,土壤流失比与碎石含量呈极显著指数负相关关系。     

河北雨洪模型中下渗公式的一种改进方法

下渗强度的计算是干旱半干旱地区超渗产流计算的关键环节。河北雨洪模型中的流域下渗强度计算公式由两部分组成,一部分为由张力引起的下渗强度,另一部分为由重力引起的下渗强度(稳定下渗能力)。计算以上两部分下渗强度时,公式所用的雨量有重复,致使总下渗强度普遍偏大,从而导致模型模拟的洪水过程的洪量及洪峰偏小。提出一个改进的流域下渗强度计算公式,计算张力引起的下渗时所用雨强为总雨强与稳定下渗能力的差值。利用改进前后的计算公式,分别对2mm/h到10mm/h雨强及0mm到140mm表层土湿条件下的下渗强度进行计算,并对结果进行对比分析。大阁流域的实例应用结果表明,改进后的下渗强度计算公式,对模拟洪水过程的洪量和洪峰流量的增加效果明显,增加值分别为实测值的14.14%和10.08%。     

Laboratory experiments of phosphorus loss with surface runoff during simulated rainfall

Surface runoff accounts for much of the phosphorus (P) input to and accelerated eutrophication of the fresh waters. The environmental fate of P receives increasing attention but the key mechanisms of P transport with surface runoff remain unclear. Through artificial rainfall experiments, characteristics of P loss with surface runoff during simulated rainfall are investigated under the conditions of various slope gradient and rainfall intensity and the factors of influencing are also discussed. Results show that the amount of runoff and sediment increased rapidly in a shorter time after runoff producing, then gradually turned to be stable. It shows significant correlation between the runoff volume and sediment. The amount of runoff and sediment increased with the increasing of slope gradient and rainfall intensity. P content in the runoff was higher in the early stage after runoff producing, and then stabilized gradually. Most of the P transformed through the sediment loss.     

Monitored and simulated variations in matric suction during rainfall in a residual soil slope

This research combines field, laboratory and numerical investigations to estimate the development of a wetting front within a 1.2 m residual soil mantle on a steep forested slope during rainfall events. The field-monitored variations in matric suction due to rain-water infiltration during various events revealed that the maximum infiltration rate was much higher when the wetting front resided in the upper 20 cm of soil compared to the case when the wetting front advanced to depths > 20 cm. Laboratory investigations on soil hydraulic properties (i.e., soil water characteristic curve, and hydraulic conductivity) were useful to establish the parameters of a multilayer finite-element model for one-dimensional vertical infiltration. These parameters were subsequently calibrated by matching the predicted and field measured transient pore water pressure responses during actual rainstorms with irregular rainfall patterns. The calibrated simulation model was used to assess the migration of the wetting front under uniform rainfall with different intensities. Based on the numerical results, a hyperbolic equation was developed to predict the duration of uniform rainfall required for the propagation of wetting front to a certain depth for a given rainfall intensity. The proposed equation was subsequently tested against field-monitored advancements of the wetting front during real rainstorms with variable rainfall intensity.

采用室内人工模拟降雨方法,研究了陕北风沙区含砾石工程堆积体边坡的产流产沙过程。结果表明:①砾石存在改变了坡面入渗速率,径流系数受入渗速率的影响,随砾石含量的增加先线性递减后线性递增,并在10%砾石含量处存在阈值;径流系数随降雨强度的增加线性递增。②含砾石堆积体坡面流速较纯土堆积体降低,且随雨强增大,砾石延缓径流流动的作用越显著;雨强对径流流速的影响随砾石含量增加持续减弱。③土壤剥蚀率在产流24~33 min后显著增加,砾石主要对显著增加后的平均剥蚀率产生影响。④雨强1.0 mm/min时,砾石存在促进降雨侵蚀,产沙量增大;雨强大于1.0 mm/min时,砾石具有显著的减沙效应。     

Catchment-scale soil erosion and sediment yield simulation using a spatially distributed erosion model

Increasing rainfall intensity and frequency due to extreme climate change and haphazard land development are aggravating soil erosion problems in Korea. A quantitative estimate of the amount of sediment from the catchment is essential for soil and water conservation planning and management. Essential to catchment-scale soil erosion modeling is the ability to represent the fluvial transport system associated with the processes of detachment, transport, and deposition of soil particles due to rainfall and surface flow. This study applied a spatially distributed hydrologic model of rainfall–runoff–sediment yield simulation for flood events due to typhoons and then assessed the impact of topographic and climatic factors on erosion and deposition at a catchment scale. Measured versus predicted values of runoff and sediment discharge were acceptable in terms of applied model performance measures despite underestimation of simulated sediment loads near peak concentrations. Erosion occurred widely throughout the catchment, whereas deposition appeared near the channel network grid cells with a short hillslope flow path distance and gentle slope; the critical values of both topographic factors, providing only deposition, were observed at 3.5 (km) (hillslope flow path distance) and 0.2 (m/m) (local slope), respectively. In addition, spatially heterogeneous rainfall intensity, dependent on Thiessen polygons, led to spatially distinct net-erosion patterns; erosion increased gradually as rainfall amount increased, whereas deposition responded irregularly to variations in rainfall.

无机水化学离子在实验流域降雨径流过程中的响应及其示踪意义

为研究无机水化学离子在降雨径流示踪中的可能性,在实验流域实测降雨、地面径流、壤中流、地下水径流过程和流域内17个测孔的地下水过程中,施测了Na+,K+,Ca2+,Mg2+,Cl-,SO₄2-,HCO₃-+CO₃2-,NO₃-,F-,NH₄-,PO₄2-,SiO₂和pH,EC,18O的同步过程,还施测了少数土壤水水样。结果是:①在Ca2+与Cl-/SO₄2-和EC与Na+/(Na++Ca2+)的关系中以及除NO₃-,NH₄-,PO₄2-外的所有离子,都可识别出上述各种径流组分;②径流离子过程均与降雨离子过程相仿,随径流组分从地面到地下而渐趋坦化;③除个例外,离子浓度过程均以降雨为最小并从地面径流到地下水径流渐次增大;④降雨和地下水离子过程表现为径流离子过程的两端元;⑤在降雨和各径流组分中,18O过程与大部分离子过程有一定的同步性。从以上结果认为,降雨并不是流域径流离子输出的主要来源,然而却是形成它的主要控制因素。此外,有关试验结果还对应用Cl-进行地下水补给的估算方法提出了问题。
