Representation of Agricultural Best Management Practices in a Fully Distributed Hydrologic Model:A Case Study in the Luoyugou Watershed

农业最佳管理措施在全分布式水文模型中的表达——以罗玉沟流域为例(英文)

Agricultural Best Management Practices （BMPs） are effective ways to reduce agricultural nonpoint source pol ution from their source area to receiving water bodies. Characterization of BMPs in a watershed model is a critical prerequisite for evaluating their impacts on water quantity and water quality in a complex system. However, limited research has reported about the representation of BMPs in fully distributed models. This paper presents a stepwise procedure for representation of several BMPs and assessment of their hydrologic impacts with a ful y distributed model, SEIM （Spatially Explicit Integrated Modeling）. A case study is conducted in the 73 km2 Luoyugou watershed located in the Loess Plateau of China, where rainstorm erosion accounts for more than 60%of annual sediment load in average. Three BMPs are selected in this study including （i） conversion from farmland to forest, （i ） terrace, and （i i） no-til farming. These management practices are represented in the model through the alteration of model parameters characterizing their physical processes in the ifeld. The results of scenario assessment for a historical storm event showed that the maximum sediment reduction after terrace is about 97.3%, the average sediment reduction after no-till farming is about 9.5%, and the average sediment reduction after conversion from farmland to forest is 75.6%.

农业最佳管理措施(BMPs)是为了减少由农业活动引起的非点源污染,防止污染物进入受纳水体的一系列措施。分布式水文模型是流域非点源污染模拟和BMPs评估的重要工具。利用分布式水文模型评估BMPs在水土保持、拦沙减污的有效性,首先要在模型中对BMPs进行刻画和表达。但是,在全分布式水文模型中,如何进行BMPs表达的研究比较缺乏。本文以黄土高原丘陵沟壑区典型小流域罗玉沟流域为例,基于一个全分布式模型,SEIM(Spatially Explicit Integrated Modeling)模型,逐步介绍如何在该模型中进行BMPs的表达,以及评估它们的水文响应。罗玉沟流域面积约为73 km2,流域内侵蚀严重,其中暴雨侵蚀占年平均输沙量的60%以上。本研究选择了3种BMPs,分别是退耕还林、梯田和免耕耕作,并在模型中对这些管理措施进行表达。措施表达的方法是通过修改该措施所在地块的主要物理参数,以此来描述其对流域水文过程的影响。通过在一个暴雨事件的情景模拟,结果表明梯田的减沙效益较高,最大到达97.3%,免耕措施的平均减沙率最小,约为9.5%,退耕还林的平均减沙率介于这两者之间,为75.6%。
