Financing Model Decision of Inter-basin Water Transfer Projects

Inter-basin Water Transfer Projects require the appropriate financing model to attract large amounts of social investment.Therefore,financing model decision becomes the key of engineering construction.In three aspects,such as the subject,the object and the target of the financing model,Grey Target Model is established in this paper.First,the complex financing mode decision problems of Inter-basin Water Transfer Projects are decomposed by using hierarchical decomposition method.Then Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) method is used to calculate the comprehensive weight of evaluation index.Experts' opinions financing model are transformed into the evaluation matrix based on the Dephi method.The Weighted Grey Target Model is used to calculate the approaching degree of financing model and assists financing mode decision.In addition,this paper takes the water diversion project from the Han to the Wei River of Shaanxi Province as a verification example for the model.For other water diversion projects,the evaluation results are also reliable and provide theoretical references for the financing model decision of Inter-basin Water Transfer Projects.

Evolution trend of the water quality in Dongping Lake after South-North Water Transfer Project in China

To investigate the evolution trend of water quality in Dongping Lake after South-North Water Transfer Project operation as well as to ensure the safe usage of the water receiving areas, water samples were collected and determined before and after water delivery in different hydrological seasons. Then, comprehensive pollution index method, comprehensive nutrition state index method and health risk assessment model were utilized to evaluate the quality, nutrition, and health risk of Dongping Lake water. Results showed that the quality of Dongping Lake water still met level Ⅲ (light pollution) no matter before or after water delivery. The nutrition state was improved from light eutropher before water delivery to mesotropher after water delivery. The health risk level was reduced from high-medium before water delivery to medium level after water delivery. In summary, the operation of the eastern route of South-North Water Transfer Project is beneficial for water environment improvement of Dongping Lake.

Geological conditions and key rock mechanics issues in the Western Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project

In terms of special geological conditions of the Western Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the classification method for surrounding rocks is discussed by combining with the construction method of tunnel boring machine （TBM）. The classification standard of surrounding rocks is put forward on the basis of physical simulations and engineering practices. Damage, deformation and evolution of surrounding rocks induced by TBM excavation are discussed. Meanwhile, the long-term deformation mechanisms and stability of surrounding rocks are also studied. On this basis, a three-dimensional constitutive model for interbedded sandstone slate and a fiat shell-joint element-foundation system for calculating internal forces of segment lining are established. The deformation features of surrounding rocks of deep and steep interbedded sandstone slate and their influences on internal forces of segment lining are presented. Finally, the design methods of segment lining constructed in deep and steep flysch are proposed.

Forecasting Loss of Ecosystem Service Value Using a BP Network: A Case Study of the Impact of the South-to-north Water Transfer Project on the Ecological Environmental in Xiangfan, Hubei Province, China

Objective To recognize and assess the impact of the South-to-north Water Transfer Project (SNWTP) on the ecological environment of Xiangfan, Hubei Province, situated in the water-out area, and develop sound scientific countermeasures. Methods A three-layer BP network was built to simulate topology and process of the eco-economy system of Xiangfan. Historical data of ecological environmental factors and socio-economic factors as inputs, and corresponding historical data of ecosystem service value (ESV) and GDP as target outputs, were presented to train and test the network. When predicted input data after 2001 were presented to trained network as generalization sets, ESVs and GDPs of 2002, 2003, 2004... till 2050 were simulated as output in succession. Results Up to 2050, the area would have suffered an accumulative total ESV loss of RMB 104.9 billion, which accounted for 37.36% of the present ESV. The coinstantaneous GDP would change asynchronously with ESV, it would go through an up-to-down process and finally lose RMB89.3 billion, which accounted for 18.71% of 2001. Conclusions The simulation indicates that ESV loss means damage to the capability of socio-economic sustainable development, and suggests that artificial neural networks (ANNs) provide a feasible and effective method and have an important potential in ESV modeling.

Eco-environmental benefit assessment of China's South-North Water Transfer Scheme——the middle route project

This paper assess the eco-environmental benefits that may come from the middle route project of China's South-North Water Transfer Scheme(SNWT) with principles and methods of eco-economics and planning reports of SNWT's middle route project. Some benefits were calculated in monetary units. To make sure that the results can be comparable with normal monetary indices, concrete assessment objects and the parameters are prudently selected according to the major characteristics of the project and its water import region. Primary assessment revealed that in different project construction stages, the benefit could be more than 13 07 billion RMB Yuan in 2010 and 19 79 billion RMB Yuan in 2030, respectively. The monetary value tends to increase with social-economic development. To realize these potential benefits, however, calls for more endeavors.

Price Analysis of Water Supply for South-to-North Water Transfer Project

The factors influencing the water supply price of a hydraulic project include natural conditions and economic policies. This paper thoroughly demonstrates the water price of South-to-North Water Transfer Project from the viewpoint of economic policies. It is considered that if the project is assigned as a profitable one and built depending on commercial loan from bank completely or mostly, the water price will be too high to be undertaken by users,and if the project places the public good at first while considering the economic benefit, its investment mainly relies on the state (national or local governments) appropriation and self-raised funds and a little from the bank loan on favorable terms, the price determined according to the principle of satisfying the cost and reasonable profit will be relatively lower and can be undertaken by the users in the North China where water shortage is serious. The problem of higher water price of agricultural irrigation to the north of the Yellow River can be tackled by taking measures such as "compensating agriculture by industry" according to foreign practical experiences and relevant suggestions.

Preliminary Study on Strategic Water Transfer Project in Western China

And then,the water will be diverted to Neimongol and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous regions,with transfered annual volume of water 80 billion m\+3. The project possesses great comprehensive benefit. The construction of the project will not only change the appearance of the whole Northwest China, but also open up a wide way for the sustainable development of China in future.

Optioning Water Rights:A Potential Alternative to the Hanjiang-Weihe River Water Transfer Project,China

China has started shifting from relying on supply management to demand management strategy in addressing its water shortage problems.Water option,a financial derivative for water commodity,has been utilized to manage water demands in the United States and Europe since the 1990 s but is still novel to China.In this study we analyzed the pros and cons of China’s existing system for water rights transfers and proposed an alternative,flexible trading instrument-water options for China.Incorporating the uncertainty to water option pricing,this study first conducted an empirical analysis of the water option in the water-receiving area of the Hanjiang-Weihe River Transfer Project of China,and then evaluated the benefits of the water option applications.Results show that water option trading can bring water cost saving and increase the potential industrially added value for industrial enterprises in the receiving area,and trading of short-and-medium term water options is more favorable than the long-term water options trading.The novel water option trading proposed in this study,once verified through pilot studies,will be helpful in addressing water shortage problems in China.

LONG AND DEEP DIVERSION TUNNELS OF 1^(ST) STAGE PROJECT IN WEST ROUTE OF SOUTH-NORTH WATER TRANSFER PROJECT

West Route of South-North Water Transfer Project,situated in southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,is a giant project,which will deliver 17 billion m3 of water from the main stream and tributaries upstream of the Yangtze River to the upper reaches of the Yellow River. It is to be constructed in 3 stages, of which the 1st stage project includes delivering 4 billion m3 of water by gravity from two tributaries of Yalong River and three tributaries of Dadu River. The project consists of 5 dams,7 tunnels and a channel in series,with the dam height of 63～123 m and water transfer length of 260.3 km,of which the tunnels measure 244.1 km. The special climatic,environmental and geologic conditions make the project much more complicated in construction,especially 3 tunnels with the length longer than 50 km each create challenges to the technical requirements of engineering survey,design and construction.

Water Security Situation in Haihe River Basin after South-to-North Water Transfer Project

The over-exploitation of water resources in the Haihe River Basin (HRB) has now become a serious problem. This is clearly evidenced by the fact that many local rivers and lakes are drying up and the total amount of over-exploited groundwater has reached over 1000×108m3. It is important to note that the exploitation of water resources in HRB was reasonable before 1979. After 1980, however, over-exploitation happened with an annual average amount of 40×108m3. Both the dry season and rapid economic growth in HRB took place at the same time. Therefore, the over-exploitation of water in HRB was actually the negative result of the conjunction of a continuous dry season and rapid economic growth. So the over-exploitation would not be as serious as it is today if either of the above two stopped. After the first stage of south-to-north water transfer project, the water shortage problem in HRB could be eased for the following reasons: fi rstly, water transfer project will bring to the Basin 60×108m3 water resources; secondly, a wet season will come back eventually according to natural law of climate variability; finally, its agricultural and industrial use and total water consumption all have decreased from the peak value, so that the groundwater table will raise certainly and ecological water in rivers and lakes that were dried-up will be partly restored. In the future, the main problem of water resources security in HRB will include water pollution, operation risk of the south-to-north water transfer project, groundwater pollution and engineering geological hazards that may be brought by groundwater rise. The proposed countermeasures are as follows: keeping strengthening water demand management, raising water price as well as subsidies for the low-income family and improving other water related policies, preventing and dealing with water pollution seriously and getting fully prepared for the operation of south-to-north water transfer project.

长距离输调水工程大口径FRPM管道研发与工程安全保障技术

长距离输调水工程是中国新疆地区重要的基础生命线,其长久稳定运行对于促进经济平稳增长和保障居民供水安全至关重要。新疆位居大陆中心,属温带极端大陆性气候,其长距离输调水工程面临严峻的环境挑战。玻璃纤维增强塑料夹砂管(glass fiber reinforced plastic mortar pipes,FRPM)作为长距离输调水工程中重要的水工地下结构用材,凭借其优异的耐化学腐蚀、轻质高强、无二次污染、安装方便、综合造价低等诸多优良特性而被广泛应用于新疆地区。然而,传统FRPM管生成工艺在铺层设计与生产自动化程度方面存在一定局限,导致工程施工过程效率低下;同时,缺少统一的技术标准和设计规范也间接制约了其应用范围。此外,管道工程自动巡检技术与缺陷定量评价标准尚未统一,无法合理量化和准确评价整体工程质量。为此,依托北疆小洼槽供水工程,围绕长距离大口径FRPM管的管材铺层设计与制造工艺、工程设计、质量评定、自动巡检、运行监测与安全保障等关键技术,通过产学研用相结合,持续15年攻关,取得突破性创新成果:①引进吸收并创新了适合于长距离、高工作压力、以连续缠绕工艺为首选的FRPM管生产工艺,优化了大口径FRPM管材铺层设计方法,实现了供料—缠绕—固化—切割—检测全自动化控制,与国外同类产品标准相比,管道挠曲性能和轴向拉伸强度等提高了20%~50%;②提出了安全防护的工程和非工程措施,建立了长距离FRPM管不同缺陷类型危害性等级划分原则,创建了复杂地质条件下长距离FRPM管道工程安全评价理论与方法;③系统揭示了FRPM管质量缺陷产生机理,开发了FRPM管光固化片材局部修复工艺以及内衬聚乙烯(PE)的整体非开挖修复技术,提出了修复效果后评价方法,实现了对长距离FRPM管道工程运行安全的有效掌控。

南水北调东线江苏段典型泵站运行效率模拟模型

泵站机组运行受多种因素影响,导致泵站运行理论效率与实际效率误差较大。针对泵站机组运行效率精准模拟难题,运用基于高价多项式回归、回归树、多元线性回归、向量机回归、高斯过程回归、神经网络的10个回归算法,建立泵站机组效率模拟模型并开展对比分析,优选出有效的泵站运行效率模拟建模方法。讨论分析采用“上下游水位+流量”代替传统“扬程+流量”开展泵站运行模拟的效果。以南水北调东线邳州站和遂宁二站共8台机组的历史数据开展实例分析,相关实验结果表明:在所有方法中,高斯过程回归(Gaussian process regression,GPR)模型在均方根误差(ERMS)、平均绝对误差(EMA)、均方误差(EMS)、决定系数(R2)和最大个体误差(EMI)指标上综合表现最佳,R2逼近0.95;使用站上、站下水位代替传统的扬程对模型进行训练,所有模型的综合评价指标整体有所改善。综合来看,使用GPR模型并使用上游、下游水位代替扬程进行模拟效率表现最好,以邳州站4号机为例,可将模拟效率的EMA和EMI分别从16.49%和20.40%减少至0.41%和2.30%,研究成果具有一定实际意义,可为我国调水工程泵站经济运行提供有力支撑。

基于水体交换能力的调水工程对底栖动物群落影响研究

水文条件的改变会引起水生态系统的波动变化,大型调水工程的实施会改变水生生物群落结构。本研究分别调研了南四湖和东平湖在调水工程实施前后一段时间的大型底栖动物群落结构,模拟分析了调水工程引起的湖泊水龄变化特征,从水体交换能力的角度探讨了大型调水工程对湖泊中大型底栖动物群落的影响。结果显示,调水工程运行一段时间后,东平湖中大型底栖动物群落在年尺度上从由小体型的水生昆虫类主导转变为由大体型的软体动物主导,南四湖中软体动物的优势在调水工程实施之后更加凸显。在季节尺度上,软体动物占比通常在调水期(非雨季)减小,而在非调水期(雨季)增大。调水工程的实施改变了湖泊水动力场特征,在年尺度上增强了湖泊水体交换能力,调水入流与入湖径流的叠加使湖泊水体的高流速时间变长,这不利于小体型物种稳定生长,进而导致在年尺度上大体型软体动物的占比逐渐增大。此外,调水工程的实施主要是提升了非雨季湖泊的水体交换能力,但增加调水后的非雨季湖泊水体交换能力仍然小于雨季,这也导致软体动物占比在调水工程实施前后均呈现在雨季减小在非雨季增加的规律。

基于多利益主体的调水工程生态补偿演化博弈分析

极端气候的频发使得生态环境问题日益得到社会各界的重视,人与自然的和谐可持续发展是中国追求高质量发展的必由之路。调水工程是一项缓解区域之间水资源不平衡的重要民生工程,跨流域调水工程的实施涉及多方利益主体,生态补偿是跨流域调水工程可持续开展的必要保障。论文以牛栏江—滇池补水工程为例,就其生态补偿现状和问题涉及的各利益主体,结合演化博弈理论,从宏观和微观层面构建博弈模型,进行流域多利益主体博弈分析。研究发现:1)宏观层面上,调水区与受水区的自发博弈无法到达生态的均衡演化,需要引入上级反馈机制加以干预,反馈投诉成本、投诉补贴金额以及调水区的预期估值与实现生态补偿均衡有直接的关系;2)微观层面上,政府、企业和公众的演化博弈受到治理费用、政府补贴与惩罚力度等诸多因素的影响;3)从牛栏江—滇池补水工程的仿真分析中得出该项补偿工程呈现出牛栏江保护、滇池不补偿、上级部门不监管的演化趋势,其中滇池的策略选择受到滇池补偿费用和投诉补偿的影响,上级部门的策略选择受到对滇池的惩罚金额和上级部门付出成本的影响。因此提出,在调水工程的生态补偿中,应当拓宽筹资渠道、完善反馈投诉体系、引入政府监督和管控,促进调水工程的可持续开展。
