Maintaining healthy rivers and lakes through water diversion from Yangtze River to Taihu Lake in Taihu Basin

On the basis of the Taihu water resources assessment, an analysis of the importance and rationality of the water diversion from the Yangtz,e River to Taihu Lake in solving the water problem and establishing a harmonious eco-environment in the Taihu Basin is performed. The water quantity and water quality conjunctive dispatching ＇decisi＂ofi-makifig support system, which ensures flood control, water supply and eco-aimed dispatching, is built by combining the water diversion with flood control dispatching and strengthening water resources monitoring and forecasting. With the practice and effect assessment, measures such as setting the -integrated basin management format, further developing water diversion and improving the hydraulic engineering projects system and water monitoring system are proposed in order to maintain healthy rivers and guarantee the development of the economy and society in the Taihu Basin.

Detrital Zircon Ages of Hanjiang River:Constraints on Evolution of Northern Yangtze Craton,South China

Clastic sedimentary rocks are natural samples of the exposed continental crust over large areas. The Hanjiang （汉江） River drains the northern Yangtze craton, including the South Qinling （秦岭） belt and the northern parts of the Yangtze craton. Detrital zircons from this river thus provide an ideal sample for studying the formation and evolution of the northern Yangtze craton. Here we report laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer U-Pb ages of 122 detrital zircons from one sand sample of the Hanjiang River. The 110 concordant zircons reveal four major age groups of 768, 444, 212, and 124 Ma, which well correlate with known magmatic events in the northern Yangtze craton. A minor group is present at 1 536 Ma, which is less known in the study area. Only seven zircons have ages of 〉1 750 Ma. Our results show that the Early Paleozoic, Late Triassic, and Early Cretaceous are important episodes of zircon growth and crustal growth/reworking in addition to the previously documented Neoproterozoic event. Our results suggest very limited exposures of Paleoproterozoic and Archean rocks in the northern parts of the Yangtze craton.

Engineering Strategies on Flood Control in Middle Reach of Yangtze River, China

Flood disaster has been a serious hidden danger since the ancient time. The essential cause for the fact that floods have not been eliminated for hundreds of years is that time honored strategies do not suit the cases of flood prevention. In the view of geological environmental analyses of flood formation and from the synthesis of experiences gained in flood control in the past hundreds of years, sluggish draining of flood, silt sedimentation in channel and building levee blindly constitute the main cause of intractable flood for a long time in the middle reach of the Yangtze River. Draining away silt and water is the only way to stamping out flood disaster. Opening up artificial waterways for flood diversion, draining away the silt of channel into the polders, and storing the flood water are important engineering measures for the flood control and damage reduction.

A numerical study on water diversion ratio of the Changjiang(Yangtze)estuary in dry season

We studied the flood, ebb and tidal averaged along (net) water diversion ratio (WDR) during dry season in the Changjiang (Yangtze) estuary, China, along with the effects of northerly wind, river discharge, tide and their interactions on WDR using the improved version of three-dimensional numerical model ECOM. Using data for annual mean wind speed and river discharge during January, we determined that the flood, ebb, net WDR values in the North Branch of the estuary were 3.48%, 1.68%,-4.06% during spring tide, and 4.82%, 2.34%,-2.79% during neap tide, respectively. Negative net WDR values denote the transport of water from the North Branch into the South Branch. Using the same data, the corresponding ratios were 50.09%, 50.92%, 54.97%, and 52.33%, 50.15%, 43.86% in the North Channel and 38.56%, 44.78%, 103.96%, and 36.92%, 43.17%, 60.97% in the North Passage, respectively. When northerly wind speed increased, landward Ekman transport was enhanced in the North Branch, increasing the flood WDR, while the ebb WDR declined and the net WDR exhibited a significant decrease. Similarly, in the North Channel, the flood WDR is increased, the ebb WDR reduced, and the net WDR showed a marked decrease. In the North Passage, the flood WDR also increased while the ebb and net WDR declined. As the river discharge increased, the flood and ebb WDR of the North Branch increased slightly and the net WDR increased markedly. In the North Channel the flood and ebb WDR changed very slightly, while the net WDR declined during spring tides and increased during neap tides. The WDR in the North Passage changed slightly during flood and ebb tides while the net WDR showed a marked increase. The WDR values of different bifurcations and the responses to northerly wind, river discharge, and tide are discussed in comparison with variations in river topography, horizontal wind-induced circulation, and tidal-induced residual current.

Wet-Dry Runoff Correlation in Western Route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project,China

The Western Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is an important trans-basin diversion project to transfer water from the upstream Yangtze River and its tributaries （water-exporting area）, to the upstream of the Yellow River （water- importing area）. The long-term hydrologieal data from 14 stream gauging stations in the Western Route area and techniques including the pre-whitening approach, non-parametric test, Bayes, law, variance analysis extrapolation, and Wavelet Analysis are applied to identify the streamflow eharacteristics and trends, streamflow time series cross-correlations, wetness-dryness encountering probability, and periodicities that occurred over the last 50 years. The results show that the water-exporting area, water- importing area, and the streteh downstream of the water-exporting have synehronization in high-low flow relationship, whereas they display non- synchronization in long-term evolution. This corresponds to the complicated and variable climate of the plateau region. There is no obvious increasing or decreasing trend in runoff at any gauging station. The best hydrological eompensation probability for rivers where water is diverted is about 25% to lO%, and those rivers influenced significantly by diversion are the Jinsha and Yalong rivers. Proper planning and design of compensation reservoirs for the water-exporting area and stretch downstream of the water- exporting area can increase the hydrological compensation possibility from water-exporting area to the water-importing area, and reduce the impact on the stretch of river downstream of the water- exporting area.

Differential Geochemical Features of Clinopyroxene from the Floodplain Sediments in Yangtze and Hanjiang Rivers and Its Implication for Detrital Source Identification

The evolution history of the Yangtze River attracted increasing attention in recent years. Comparison of the properties of the floodplain sediments between the upper and lower reaches of the Three Gorges is of significance to identify the material detrital sources for the Yangtze River Basin. Clinopyroxene （Cpx） is the typical mineral widely distributed in the sediments of the Yangtze River Ba- sin. Cpx was extracted from the fine sediments with the grain size ranging from 0.063 to 0.125 mm in the upper and lower reaches of the Three Gorges. The sediments, from which the Cpx was extracted, were taken from the floodplains of the catchments of both the Yangtze River and the Hanjiang River, as well as from the surface of the Zhoulao Core drilled in the center of the Jianghan Basin where the two rivers flow through. Geochemistry of these Cpx was investigated, concerning the contents of major elements measured by electron probe microanalysis （EPMA） and the contents of trace elements analyzed by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry （LA-ICP-MS）. The Cpx in the Yangtze River contains titaniferous augite which is sourced from the Panzhihua-Xichang region in South Sichuan Province, whereas the Cpx in the Hanjiang River is mainly from the surroundings without any titanif- erous augite. The REE analysis infers that the titaniferous augite is the diagnostic mineral of the upper Yangtze River, and thus could be used as a tracer mineral to identify the detrital sources for the sedi- ments formed during the evolution of the Yangtze River. The Cpx from the surface sediments of the Jianghan Plain （Zhoulao Core） shows comparable geochemical nature with that of the Yangtze River, but is different in geochemistry from that of the Hanjiang River, implying that the modern sediments in the Jianghan Plain are mainly sourced from the upper Yangtze River.

Increasing probability of concurrent drought between the water intake and receiving regions of the Hanjiang to Weihe River Water Diversion Project,China

Water diversion projects are an effective measure to mitigate water shortages in water-limited areas.Understanding the risk of such projects increasing concurrent drought between the water intake and receiving regions is essential for sustainable water management.This study calculates concurrent drought probability between the water intake and receiving regions of the Hanjiang to Weihe River Water Diversion Project using Standardized Precipitation Index and Copula functions.Results showed an increasing trend in drought probability across both the water intake and receiving regions from 2.67%and 8.38%to 12.47%and 14.18%,respectively,during 1969-2018.The return period of concurrent drought decreased from 111.11 to 13.05 years,indicating larger risk of simultaneous drought between the two regions.Projections from CMIP6 suggested that under the SSP 2-4.5 and 5-8.5 scenarios,concurrent drought probability would increase by 2.40%and 7.72%in 2019-2050 compared to that in 1969-1990,respectively.Although increases in precipitation during 2019-2050 could potentially alleviate drought conditions relative to those during 1991-2018,high precipitation variability adds to the uncertainty about future concurrent drought.These findings provide a basis for better understanding concurrent drought and its impact on water diversion projects in a changing climate,and facilitate the establishment of adaptation countermeasures to ensure sustainable water availability.

引江补汉工程是南水北调后续工程的首个开工建设项目,其引水隧洞穿越了蠕滑型活动断裂-通城河断裂,研究活动断裂近场地应力特征对工程稳定性具有重要意义。选择较为复杂的通城河活动断裂近场区内开展了原位地应力测试及断裂构造稳定性分析,揭示断裂构造内现今地应力状态及断裂构造滑动失稳临界条件。通过在通城河活动断裂近场2个千米级深孔进行原位水压致裂法地应力测试。最后,基于实测地应力资料,结合库伦摩擦滑动准则及Byerlee定律对活动断裂稳定性进行了分析。结果表明:测试范围内存在应力分区,并推测以潜在转换深度900±20 m为界,空间主应力状态呈现由复合型(逆断型与走滑型)或逆断型向正断型的转换,表明近场地应力受交汇构造影响;实测最大水平主应力方向随孔深增加由NW向转为NWW向,与活动断裂运动力学特性、交汇断裂的左旋运动机制以及震源机制解基本一致;通城河活动断裂近场应力积累水平较低,尚未到失稳滑动水平,地壳是相对稳定的。研究结果为引江补汉工程穿通城河活动断裂工程区稳定性评价提供基础地质力学资料,为跨活动断裂的工程设计提供参考依据。

引江补汉工程丹江口下游近坝段枯水期通航水位恢复试验研究

引江补汉工程补水口位于丹江口大坝下游安乐河出口约5 km处,且补水量与调水量基本一致,工程对航道的影响主要体现在减水段,为恢复枯水期通航水位需要开展航道综合治理。利用河工模型试验论证了综合治理方案的效果,并对方案进行了优化及进一步论证。结果表明,减水-补水212 m 3/s方案尾门水位分别为86.47、85.90 m条件下,引航道口—黄家港段水位下降,黄家港以下水位保持不变,其中引航道口水位下降幅度最大,分别下降0.08、0.19 m;综合治理方案1实施后引航道口水位下降均为0.02 m,减水段的水位仍未恢复至调水前的水平,主因是从安乐河口补水的水流并未能进入到左侧主航道内;基于试验研究结果,建议对综合治理方案进行优化,在沧浪洲出水口下沿布置2道护底带;通过试验论证了护底带的4个高程,建议护底带高程为85.5 m,并对护底带高程进一步细化论证;优化后的方案可使引航道口至黄家港段的水位略超过调水前的水平,其中引航道口处最大水位抬高0.06 m。

为探究“引江济太”工程调水给受水湖区水体带来的生态效应,采用水生微宇宙模型进行为期11 d的室内模拟实验,以太湖贡湖湾湖区为受水水体,引入3组设定好的不同营养盐水平(贫营养水平O、中营养水平M、富营养水平E)的望虞河河水,研究在不同营养盐水平调水影响下,受水水体水生态环境的动态响应过程。结果表明:整个实验过程中,中营养和贫营养调水组的水体TN、NO_(3)^(-)-N、NH4_(+)-N、TP、SRP、TOC含量下降明显,富营养调水组影响效果较中营养和贫营养调水组差;调水提高了受水水体生态系统的多样性和均匀度水平,硅藻等非蓝藻细胞密度增加,蓝藻细胞生长受到竞争胁迫,中营养和贫营养调水的影响作用效果好于富营养水平。RDA分析结果表明,受水水体的pH、DO、SiO_(3)^(2-)-Si、TDS、NO_(3)^(-)-N、SRP是本实验水体影响藻类群落结构的主要环境驱动因子。

不同调水方式对巢湖水质影响模拟

引调水工程是目前用来改善湖泊水质的重要手段,然而引调水的调水路线、来水水量以及来水水质对湖泊水质改善效果都至关重要。本文以“引江济巢”工程为例,针对巢湖的浅水湖泊特征,考虑引调水入湖后不仅对水量和水质有直接改善作用,还可能因为湖区水动力条件改变及内源释放影响水质,通过构建二维水动力水质模型,模拟不同调水路线、水量下湖区水动力条件,进一步考虑不同来水水质和底泥释放对水质改善的影响。结果显示,调水对流场的扰动在丰水年较弱、枯水年较强,流量对湖区水质影响随流量增大而增强,来水水质的优劣是决定湖区水体水质是否改善的关键。整体而言,西湖区受调水影响较小,东湖区能够对全湖水质变化起到指示作用。调水方案应基于湖泊实际水量与水质状态综合考虑调水流量与水质制定。

江苏省江水北调工程水量调度

江水北调工程以向江苏境内工农业及城乡生活供水为主,同时保障改善洪泽湖、骆马湖生态,但工程运行现状存在运行成本高、湖泊弃水量大等不足。为此,采用模拟和优化技术相结合的方式,以供水缺额最小、湖泊水位超限制最小和泵站运行成本最低为优先级设定目标函数,构建江水北调工程年水量调度概化模型,开展不同水平年、不同补湖水位以及高水低用3种调度情景分析。结果表明:骆马湖调蓄库容小,调水运行期使得水位波动频繁,中运河泵站会同频开启补湖,且容易达到输水能力上限;适当降低洪泽湖补湖水位,可充分利用湖泊富余水量,使调水成本降低;完全禁止骆马湖高水低用会加重洪泽湖以下梯级线路供水任务的运行负担,同时增加骆马湖的弃水量,适当允许高水低用可使成本减小,减少泵站抽水任务。建立的模型以及相关研究成果可为江水北调工程调度运行提供一定参考。

长江中游戴家洲河段滩群联动演变及其对航道工程的响应机制

航道浅滩演变与滩槽形态调整具有强关联性,识别滩槽形态、河床冲淤与航道工程的响应关系,对评估航道工程实施效果具有重要意义。以长江中游戴家洲河段为对象,采用1954—2022年期间实测水沙和地形资料,解析滩群演变联动关系及对航道工程的响应机制。结果表明:①自然水沙阶段(2008年以前),巴河边滩与池湖港边滩关联性强,池湖港边滩淤涨并减弱了燕矶节点挑流作用,加速了戴家洲洲头低滩上延,而巴河边滩淤涨使得戴家洲洲头低滩冲刷,但流域来沙量减少增加了洲头低滩冲刷速率;戴家洲汊道分流关系不稳定且汉口站相同流量条件下的右汊分流比为减少态势,来沙量低的大水年份加速戴家洲右缘蚀退并为乐家湾边滩淤宽提供了空间。②航道工程影响阶段(2008年以来),航道工程实施使得戴家洲洲头低滩上延,其右缘冲刷应引起重视;戴家洲汊道进口段航道工程压缩了河道横向空间并加速了巴河边滩冲失趋势,池湖港边滩侧蚀使得分汊段水流分散程度增加,不利于汊道进口段浅滩水动力的稳定或增强;戴家洲右缘洲体守护后的完整性增强,乐家湾边滩由淤涨转为冲刷过程形成的分离体进入航槽并碍航,6m水深航道工程实施后乐家湾边滩完整性增强,右汊中下段浅区航道条件改善。

粗骨料最大粒径对水工混凝土变形性能及长期耐久性的影响

为研究不同粗骨料最大粒径对水工混凝土的变形影响,探明国家标准规定的骨料粒级能否满足水工混凝土的要求,依托引江济淮工程,开展了粗骨料最大粒径为31.5 mm和40.0 mm的混凝土变形试验,探究2种骨料粒级混凝土长期耐久性能演变规律。结果表明:采用最大粒径31.5 mm骨料的混凝土极限拉伸值和弹性模量略大,动态疲劳性能较好;采用最大粒径40 mm骨料的混凝土干燥收缩以及自生体积变形小;2种不同骨料最大粒径的混凝土徐变度相当;采用最大粒径31.5 mm骨料的混凝土长期抗渗性和长期抗冻性均优于采用最大粒径40 mm骨料的混凝土。因此,最大粒径31.5 mm骨料应用于水工混凝土时,能满足水工混凝土性能要求且动态疲劳寿命及耐久性更优,但需要注意混凝土开裂问题。
