A review of mathematical models of river planform changes

Different mathematical models of river planform changes exist or are being developed. They are reviewed here by discussing a two-dimensional depth-averaged model, various meander models and a model for the braided Brahmaputra-Jamuna River in Bangladesh. Much emphasis is placed on topics where further research is needed. It is concluded that the models help in understanding the underlying processes, but cannot yet be considered generally valid and easy-to-use software packages. In the hands of experienced geomorphologists or river engineers, however, some of the models do already form valuable tools which allow better predictions of future river planforms.     

Impacts of land use changes on groundwater resources in the Heihe River Basin

Land use and land cover changes have a great impact on the regional hydrological process. Based on three periods of remote sensing data from the 1960s and the long-term observed data of groundwater from the 1980s, the impacts of land use changes on the groundwater system in the middle reach of Heihe River Basin in recent three decades are analyzed by the perspective of groundwater recharge and discharge system. The results indicate that with the different intensities of land use changes, the impacts on the groundwater recharge were 2.602×108 m3/a in the former 15 years (1969-1985) and 0.218×108 m3/a in the latter 15 years (1986-2000), and the impacts on the groundwater discharge were 2.035×108 m3/a and 4.91×108 m3/a respectively. When the groundwater exploitation was in a reasonable range less than 3.0×108 m3/a, the land use changes could control the changes of regional groundwater resources. Influenced by the land use changes and the large-scale exploitation in the recent decade, the groundwater resources present apparently regional differences in Zhangye region. Realizing the impact of land use changes on groundwater system and the characteristics of spatial-temporal variations of regional groundwater resources would be very important for reasonably utilizing and managing water and soil resources.

新疆塔里木河流域受人类活动的影响,特别是由于水资源利用的不合理,不同区域出现了一系列生态环境问题,下游地区普遍存在的沙漠化现象表现得尤为突出。通过应用多时相（１９５９年、１９８３年、１９９２年）、多波段、多平台的遥感信息,在野外调研的基础上编制阿拉干地区不同年代沙漠化类型图,并在ＡＲＣ／ＩＮＦＯ软件支持下,对图件进行编辑处理,制作沙漠化动态图;通过ＧＩＳ数据库提供的资源环境定量数据,应用系统论、信息论及控制论的观点分析阿拉干地区沙漠化的演化过程,并借助于ＧＭ（１,１）模型,预测阿拉干地区土地沙漠化的发展趋势。     

Comparison of basin morphometry derived from topographic maps,ASTER and SRTM DEMs: an example from Kerala,India

The drainage network of a sixth-order tropical river basin, viz. Ithikkara river basin, was extracted from different sources such as Survey of India topographic maps (1: 50,000; TOPO) and digital elevation data of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) (30 m) and Shuttle Radar Topography Mapping Mission (SRTM) (90 m). Basin morphometric attributes were estimated to evaluate the accuracy of the digital elevation model (DEM)-derived drainage networks for hydrologic applications as well as terrain characterization. The stream networks derived from ASTER and SRTM DEMs show significant agreement (with slight overestimation of lower order streams) with that of TOPO. The study suggests that SRTM (despite the coarser spatial resolution) provides better results, in drainage delineation and basin morphometry, compared to ASTER. Further, the variability of basin morphometry among the data sources might be attributed to spatial variation of elevation, raster grid size and vertical accuracy of the DEMs as well as incapability of the surface hydrologic analysis functions in the GIS platform.     

基于 DEM 对喀斯特地貌山地及水系信息的提取--以桂林阳朔县为例

以30 m分辨率的SRTM－DEM数据为基础,通过GIS的空间分析功能,首先对数据进行坡度分析,通过坡度分级法将山地与平原划分,自动提取出山地的信息,再运用碎斑处理结合TM影像对结果进行修正;其次,在ArcGIS的水文分析（ Hydrology）模块下对 DEM进行数字地形分析,提取流域特征。经分析得到了研究区域的山地及河网特征信息,并与实际地形及河流水系大致吻合,改进了传统手工和野外调查为主的提取方法,初步实现了山地、水系信息的自动提取,为研究区域社会经济更好更快地发展具有一定的参考意义。     

矢量河网渐进式传输的多尺度表达模型

矢量河网数据渐进式传输是制图综合的逆过程,从几何特征出发化简曲线的方法忽略了曲线的形态特征。鉴于此,以曲线轴线为基准,基于曲线弯曲层次化提取河流曲线数据,并将提取的曲线数据分层组织,构建结合目标层和几何细节层的河网多尺度表达模型。基于该模型开发了矢量河网数据的渐进式传输系统,验证了该方法的有效性。     

GPS在桥梁跨河水准测量中的应用研究

传统的跨河水准测量方法以几何光学观测为基础,受距离和气候条件的影响显著,工作效率较低。GPS技术所具有的三维定位功能,以其快速、全天候测量的优点,为跨河高程测量提供了一条新的途径。本文针对桥梁工程特点,探讨了GPS跨河水准测量的基本原理和方法,采用线性拟合模型推求跨河点之间的高程异常差,再结合GPS大地高即可求得跨河高差。在安庆长江铁路大桥精密控制网测量中,进行了二等GPS跨河水准测量试验,采用测距三角高程法进行验证,较差为4.7mm。
