Hydrological Simulation Using TRMM and CHIRPS Precipitation Estimates in the Lower Lancang-Mekong River Basin

Satellite-based products with high spatial and temporal resolution provide useful precipitation information for data-sparse or ungauged large-scale watersheds. In the Lower Lancang-Mekong River Basin, rainfall stations are sparse and unevenly distributed, and the transboundary characteristic makes the collection of precipitation data more difficult, which has restricted hydrological processes simulation. In this study, daily precipitation data from four datasets(gauge observations, inverse distance weighted(IDW) data, Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission(TRMM) estimates, and Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Stations(CHIRPS) estimates), were applied to drive the Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) model, and then their capability for hydrological simulation in the Lower Lancang-Mekong River Basin were examined. TRMM and CHIRPS data showed good performances on precipitation estimation in the Lower Lancang-Mekong River Basin, with the better performance for TRMM product. The Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency(NSE) values of gauge, IDW, TRMM, and CHIRPS simulations during the calibration period were 0.87, 0.86, 0.95, and 0.93 for monthly flow, respectively, and those for daily flow were 0.75, 0.77, 0.86, and 0.84, respectively. TRMM and CHIRPS data were superior to rain gauge and IDW data for driving the hydrological model, and TRMM data produced the best simulation performance. Satellite-based precipitation estimates could be suitable data sources when simulating hydrological processes for large data-poor or ungauged watersheds, especially in international river basins for which precipitation observations are difficult to collect. CHIRPS data provide long precipitation time series from 1981 to near present and thus could be used as an alternative precipitation input for hydrological simulation, especially for the period without TRMM data. For satellite-based precipitation products, the differences in the occurrence frequencies and amounts of precipitation with different intensities would affect simulation results of water balance components, which should be comprehensively considered in water resources estimation and planning.

Projection of temperature change and extreme temperature events in the Lancang–Mekong River basin

The Lancang–Mekong River basin(LMRB) is under increasing threat from global warming. In this paper, the projection of future climate in the LMRB is explored by focusing on the temperature change and extreme temperature events. First, the authors evaluate the bias of temperature simulated by the Weather Research and Forecasting model. Then, correction is made for the simulation by comparing with observation based on the non-parametric quantile mapping using robust empirical quantiles(RQUANT) method. Furthermore, using the corrected model results, the future climate projections of temperature and extreme temperature events in this basin during 2016–35, 2046–65, and 2080–99 are analyzed. The study shows that RQUANT can effectively reduce the bias of simulation results. After correction, the simulation can capture the spatial features and trends of mean temperature over the LMRB, as well as the extreme temperature events. Besides, it can reproduce the spatial and temporal distributions of the major modes. In the future, the temperature will keep increasing, and the warming in the southern basin will be more intense in the wet season than the dry season. The number of extreme high-temperature days exhibits an increasing trend, while the number of extreme low-temperature days shows a decreasing trend. Based on empirical orthogonal function analysis, the dominant feature of temperature over this basin shows a consistent change. The second mode shows a seesaw pattern.

FACILITATING REGIONAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH INTEGRATED MULTI-OBJECTIVE UTILIZATION, MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES IN THE LANCANG-MEKONG RIVER BASIN

The Lancnag Mekong River is the most important international river across China and Southeast Asia, If it is developed according to 'Great Mekong Subregional Cooperation Plan' [9] prepared by ADB, the area directly affected will be up to over 2.32 million km 2, the population over 220 million, and the natural environment, and socio-economic conditions within a large area will be greatly changed. 'Agreement on Cooperation for Sustainable Development of Mekong Basin' signed by the four riparian countries along the lower Mekong River on April 5, 1995 provides a new opportunity for sustainable development of the Basin. According to preliminary analysis, if the multipurpose utilization of the water resources is the target for carrying out integrated planning and management, and the efforts are made 1) to focus on energy exploitation on the Lancang River Mainstream and the tributaries of the lower Mekong River; 2) to build gated weirs at Tonle Sam; 3) to construct spillways at the Mekong Delta; 4) to facilitate flood dykes in big cities and on both banks of the mainstream which are concentrated with population and farmland and liable to be flooded, and 5) to strengthen networks for forecasting hydrological and meteorological conditions, then all problems such as power demand, irrigation, flood, salt water intrusion as well as acid water erosion to soil could be solved without constructing large cascaded stations and dams on the lower Mekong Mainstream. This will not only avoid input of great number of fund, large scale resettlement and land inundation, but also prevent aquatic organisms living in Mekong River from being injured due to dam construction, and promote the sustainable development of the Basin.

Groundwater status and associated issues in the Mekong-Lancang River Basin： International collaborations to achieve sustainable groundwater resources

Groundwater is an important and readily available source of fresh water in the Mekong-Lancang River Basin. With a rapid population growth and increasing human activities, an increasing number of countries in the Mekong-Lancang River Basin are experiencing depleted and degraded groundwater supplies. In transboundary river basins, such as the Mekong-Lancang River, prioritizing the use of the shared aquifer by one riparian government may affect the opportunities of other riparian governments and lead to potential water conflicts between neighboring countries. To promote the sharing of strategies and information for the sustainable and equitable use of water resources of the shared basin, international collaborative workshops on groundwater resources have been organized for all Mekong-Lancang River countries. These workshops provide an opportunity to communicate and discuss nationally sensitive issues on groundwater by the associated countries, with topics covering multiple aspects of groundwater, such as the groundwater status in the basin, quality issues, water use conflicts, hydrological information gaps, management policies and capacity building for successful water resource management. Consensus has been reached by all countries on the importance of catchment-based groundwater management and the need for close communication among the countries. Strategies for managing transboundary aquifer issues must foster international collaboration based on the regional network, influence national networks and enhance the capacity to building maps and monitoring systems based on associated databases. The sustainability of water resources cannot be achieved without the integrated involvement and contributions by multiple countries and various stakeholders. Therefore, collaborative workshops provide a great opportunity to further our understanding of the hydrologic processes of the Mekong River Basin, share the benefits of the aquifer and provide a strategy and vision for sustainable water resource management in the Mekong-Lancang River countries.

Projection on precipitation frequency of different intensities and precipitation amount in the Lancang-Mekong River basin in the 21st century

In the Lancang‒Mekong River basin(LMRB),agriculture,dominating the local economy,faces increasing challenges in water supply under climate change.The projection of future precipitation in this basin is essential for understanding the challenges.In this study,the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF)model was applied to project the LMRB precipitation.Comparing with the historical period(1986e2005),we analyzed the changes of both the projected precipitation amount and the frequency of rainless(<0.1 mm d1),light rain(0.1e10 mm d1),moderate rain(10e25 mm d1),heavy rain(25e50 mm d1),rainstorm(50e100 mm d1),and heavy rainstorm(>100 mm d1)for three periods,namely the near-term(2016e2035),mid-term(2046e2065),and long-term(2080e2099).The results indicate that the precipitation amount during the wet season(AprileOctober)is expected to increase in most areas of the basin for the three periods.As for the precipitation during the dry season(NovembereMarch),an increase is projected in most areas for the near-term,while an increase in the lower reach of the basin and a decrease in the upper and middle reach for the mid-term and long-term.The precipitation reduction is expected to be greatest in Myanmar,Laos,Thailand,and Yunnan province of China for the mid-term.The frequency of precipitation in different intensities has prominent regional and temporal differences.During the wet season,the days of rainless and light rain are expected to decrease in the middle reach,whereas the days of rainstorm and heavy rainstorm increase.This feature is especially strong in southern Thailand,southern Laos and Cambodia in the near-term and in Laos and Thailand for the mid-term and long-term.During the dry season,there are projected increasing rainless days and decreasing days of precipitation for the other intensities in the middle reach,and opposite in the rest area of the basin.These projected precipitation changes have potential various impact in different parts of the basin.The middle reach would likely face increasing flood risks because of more days of rainstorm and heavy rainstorm,as well as more precipitation.Yunnan,Myanmar,Thailand and Laos would probably be the center of drought threatens during the dry season due to the increment of rainless days and the precipitation reduction.Besides,the seawater intrusion during the dry season in the near-term and mid-term would be more serious as a result of the precipitation decrease in southern Vietnam.

气象产品的广义联合偏差修正方法及其应用

卫星气象产品、气候模式预测数据通常与地面观测数据存在偏差,为保证数据的可靠性和合理性,需要对其进行偏差校正,但偏差校正过程往往受具体区域气象特征、方法本身假定等因素的影响,导致修正效果不佳。为此,本文提出一种广义联合偏差修正方法,相较于现有研究最常用的单变量QM修正方法以及固定多变量修正顺序的JBC修正方法,该方法充分考虑到流域尺度降水和气温双变量的时空相关性,并结合其对径流的主导作用对变量修正顺序进行动态调整,实现了QM法和JBC法的优势互补。在澜沧江-湄公河流域的应用表明:考虑降水、气温相关性可显著改善降水和温度极值的修正效果,尤其是5、6月份,修正后气象与实测数据的纳什系数提升了0.5以上;考虑气象要素的修正次序显著降低了修正后的降水和温度频率分布及均值偏差;利用修正后的气象数据驱动分布式水文模型时,部分月份的径流模拟精度提升了54.3%。

不同情境下公共流域水资源动态一体化调控——以澜湄流域为例

从一体化视角出发针对不同的水文情境分析公共流域水资源调控能够应对复杂多变的气候变化。文章采用DPSIR模型构建流域水资源系统分析框架,并构建其系统动力学模型组从供需方面分析流域水资源系统的因果关系。以澜沧江−湄公河流域(文中简称澜湄流域)为例,运用系统动力学模型探究流域现在和未来的水资源供需情况,结合不同水文情景进行仿真分析,分析其演化过程和调控机制。结果显示:不同水文情景下流域内的水资源供需矛盾存在较大差异,结构性措施主要影响水资源的供给,非结构性措施主要影响水资源的需求。两种类型措施单独实施时都能够缓解流域内水资源短缺的压力,但对于较为极端的水文情景,流域未来仍会面临水资源短缺的压力。当结构性措施和非结构性措施同时实施时,流域内水资源的供给具有较大韧性,即使在较为极端的水文条件下仍然能够调节流域的水资源供需平衡,有利于流域内水资源的长期可持续发展。研究结果揭示了一体化视角下澜湄流域在不同水文情境下水资源的调控效果,以及各种调控措施对水资源供需的影响,将为澜湄流域水资源系统调控的联合行动奠定了基础。

澜沧江-湄公河流域埃及伊蚊抗药性研究进展

埃及伊蚊起源于非洲,是登革热、寨卡病毒病、基孔肯雅热和黄热病等重要虫媒传染病的主要媒介。近年来,随着澜沧江-湄公河流域大量使用杀虫剂控制埃及伊蚊种群密度,埃及伊蚊对杀虫剂抗性程度不断增加。本文综述了澜沧江-湄公河流域有关区域埃及伊蚊对拟除虫菊酯、有机磷、氨基甲酸酯和有机氯杀虫剂抗药性的研究进展,为制定有效的埃及伊蚊控制策略提供参考。

泰国禁毒战略视野下的毒品犯罪及应对策略

为解决因毒品诱发的犯罪问题,实现“社会无毒品”的发展目标,泰国政府将禁毒工作提升到“国家安全战略”的新高度,制定了《2022年行动计划》,形成了新的禁毒战略。但事实上,泰国禁毒政策的调整并未有效改善当前毒品治理问题,甚至加剧了泰国毒品问题的严重性,由此对澜湄流域毒品治理带来了严峻挑战。对此,我国应重视治理和应对泰国禁毒战略下的澜湄流域跨越国(边)境毒品犯罪,明确对制毒物品严格管制的态度,提升合作共治的意识和能力,持续推进澜湄流域法治化建设,不断创新发展多元化区域执法合作模式。

气候变化对澜湄流域气象水文干旱时空特性的影响

受全球气候变化影响,澜沧江-湄公河流域气象水文干旱发生了较大变化,预测未来流域干旱的时空变化与传播特征是应对气候变化、开展澜湄水资源合作的基础。利用SWAT模型通过气陆耦合方式模拟了澜沧江-湄公河流域历史(1960—2005年)和未来时期(2022—2050年,2051—2080年)的水文过程,采用标准化降水指数和标准化径流指数预估并分析了流域未来气象水文干旱时空变化趋势。结果表明:①澜沧江-湄公河流域未来降水呈增长趋势,气象干旱将有所缓解,但降水年内分配不均与流域蒸发的增加,将导致水文干旱更为严峻,干旱从气象到水文的传播过程加剧;②水文干旱具有明显的空间异质性,允景洪和清盛站的水文干旱最为严重,琅勃拉邦、穆达汉和巴色站次之,万象站最弱;③未来流域水文干旱事件发生频次略有减少,但其中重旱、特旱事件占比增加,极端干旱将趋多趋强,且空间变化更加显著。

澜沧江—湄公河流域合作治理体系的理论基础与实现途径

全球一体化进程的推进,使得如何有效对跨国跨流域的敏感区、问题区实施治理成为区域性乃至全球性的问题。近年来,中国作为区域性负责任的大国,在澜沧江—湄公河流域开展一系列多国联合执法、替代种植等跨流域治理的实践活动。通过对这些实践的总结,我们认为跨流域创新治理体系的构建是解决跨国区域的关键,一方面要打破传统政府单一主导的方式,构建合理的参与机制与互动网络,打破传统的国家一元管理形式和单一的政府管理主体,开展多元治理和多级治理,重塑政府—社会之间的联系,引入企业、公民社会、非政府组织等不同主体共同实施对区域的联合治理;另一方面,则需做好区域合作顶层战略设计,开展多学科多领域的跨流域发展规划,制定多主体积极参与的制度体系,共同构建持续共赢的跨流域利益联合体。

全球变化下澜沧江-湄公河流域水量平衡模拟

流域水文模型是区域水资源评价的重要工具,基于普林斯顿全球气象驱动数据集和澜沧江-湄公河流域(简称:澜湄流域)八个水文站实测资料,分析了澜湄流域不同区间的水文特性,采用RCCC-WBM模型(Water Balance Model developed by Research Center for Climate Change,RCCC-WBM)开展了区间径流及水量平衡模拟研究。结果表明:1)澜湄流域不同区间气候水文差异显著,上游气温低且年内变幅大,下游气温高年内变幅小;尽管不同区间降水、径流的年内分配特征总体一致,但径流的年内分布峰值大多滞后降水峰值一个时段。2)RCCC-WBM模型能够较好地模拟出澜湄流域不同区间的径流过程,率定期和验证期的月径流模拟效率系数(Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency,NSE)均在60%以上,总量模拟误差(Relative Error,RE)也均控制在±10%以内,模型具有较好的区域适应性。3)模拟的土壤含水量都具有先衰减后增加再衰减的年内分配特征;不同季节径流和蒸发耗散的水源不同,降水是汛期水分耗散的主要来源,而土壤含水量是非汛期径流和蒸发消耗的主要水源。
