Quantitative Analysis of Groundwater Flow near a Partially Penetrating River under Riverside Pumping

According to practical geological and hydrogeological conditions of riverside water-supply well fields in northwestern China, an ideal hydrogeological model has been generalized and a three-dimensional mathematical model has been set up. A finite difference method was applied to simulating groundwater flow near a partially penetrating river under riverside pumping, and to analyzing the effects of river width, partial penetration and permeability of riverbed sediments on groundwater recharges. Results show that riverside pumping may cause groundwater to flow beneath the partially penetrating river, and that river width, penetration and riverbed permeability obviously influence flows from the partially penetrating river and constant-head boundaries. However, the pumping output is mainly from the partially penetrating river.

Suzhou Riverside in Shanghai:A Chinese SOHO for Artists

The antique buildings along the Suzhou River in central Shanghai stand in stark contrast to Shanghai’s image as a hip international city. Most of them are deserted warehouses and workshops that date back to the 1930s, when the Suzhou River nurtured a major industrial base in Shanghai. When the manufacturing industries withdrew from the city proper amid the urbanization drive, the riverside grew into a haven for artists, many of whom have opened studios and galleries in the abandoned buildings out of their deep

The Thai GoodWalk Index and the Thai Walkability Index:their application to urban regeneration exemplified by a historic riverside neighbourhood in Bangkok,Thailand

The urban heritage regeneration strategy through walkability is widely accepted.However,in the context of a developing country,the tools to measure walkability,which are crucial for urban planning and development,still need to be improved.This article investigates ways to revitalise a run-down historic riverside area in Bangkok.It develops two indices,the Thai GoodWalk Index(TGWI)and the Thai Walkability Index(TWI).A hybrid of both indices is based on geospatial techniques and technology to optimise problem analysis processes,create problem-solving options,enhance spatial site selection decision capabilities,and assist urban planners in carrying out spatial scenario planning processes.It demonstrates how the GoodWalk Index has been employed to plan and prioritise urban development projects.This is exemplified by the Master Plan for the Regeneration of Kadeejeen-Klongsan,a historic riverside neighbourhood in Bangkok with limitations in density,functional mix of spaces,and access networks,especially in riverfront areas.The TGWI and TWI can be applied to the regeneration of other historic districts throughout Thailand.

Stability of Huangtupo Riverside Slumping Mass Ⅱ# under Water Level Fluctuation of Three Gorges Reservoir

After the normal operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir,the water level of the reser-voir will fluctuate periodically.Water level fluctuation will soften the rock and soil on the banks,induce underground water fluctuation and decrease the shear strength of rock soil on the banks,and in turn affect the landslide stability.The Huangtupo（黄土坡） landslide is a typical large and complex landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir region.In particular,the stability of its riverside slumping mass has a great stake.On the basis of the analysis of engineering geological condition and formation mechanism of the Huangtupo landslide,the authors established the 2D finite element model of riverside slumping mass II# and selected proper mechanical parameters of the rock.With the GeoStudio software,ac-cording to the reservoir running curve,the simulation on coupling effect of seepage field and stress field was conducted in 7 different modes in a year.The results showed that：① Huangtupo landslide is a large and complex landslide composed of multiple slumping masses,which occurred at different phases.Before reservoir impoundment,it was stable;② it is quite difficult for riverside slumping mass I# and II# to slide as a whole;③ the stability coefficient of riverside slumping mass II# changes with the res-ervoir water level fluctuations.The minimum stability coefficient occurs 48 days after the water level starts to fall and the moment when the water level falls by 11.9 m.Landslide monitoring result is con-sistent with the numerical simulation result,which shows that although the reservoir water level fluc-tuation will affect the foreside stability of the landslide and induce gradual damage,the riverside slumping mass II# is stable as a whole.

Variability of soil organic carbon reservation capability between coastal salt marsh and riverside freshwater wetland in Chongming Dongtan and its microbial mechanism

Two representative zones in Chongming Dongtan which faced the Yangtze River and East China Sea respectively were selected to study the variability of soil organic carbon （SOC） reservation capability between coastal wetland and riverside wetland in the Chongming Dongtan wetland as well as its mechanism by analyzing soil characteristics and plant biomass.The results showed the SOC content of riverside wetland was only 48.61% （P=0.000 〈 0.05） that of coastal wetland.As the organic matter inputs from plant litter of the coastal wetland and riverside wetland were approximately the same,the higher soil microbial respiration （SMR） of riverside wetland led to its lower SOC reservation capability.In the riverside wetland,the high soil microbial biomass,higher proportion of β-Proteobacteria,which have strong carbon metabolism activity and the existence of some specific aerobic heterotrophic bacteria such as Bacilli and uncultured Lactococcus,were the important reasons for the higher SMR compared to the coastal wetland.There were additional differences in soil physical and chemical characteristics between the coastal wetland and riverside wetlands.Path analysis of predominant bacteria and microbial biomass showed that soil salinity influenced β-Proteobacteria and microbial biomass most negatively among these physical and chemical factors.Therefore the low salinity of the riverside area was suitable for the growth of microorganisms,especially β-Proteobacteria and some specific bacteria,which led to the high SMR and low SOC reservation capability when compared to the coastal area.

Soil particle and moisture-related factors determine landward distribution of bacterial communities in a lateral riverside continuum of the Xilin River Basin

Continuous landscape components along the lateral riverside are affected by both hydrologic connectivity and disconnectivity.In recent years,anthropogenic activities and climate changes have caused wetland shrinkage and land degradation along the lateral riverside of many arid and semiarid regions.Since microorganisms are major drivers of soil biochemical cycling,it is essential to examine soil microbial communities along the lateral landscape continuum to understand their ecosystem functioning and predict future land changes.Here,we collected samples along a lateral riverbed center-riverbed edge-oxbow lake-floodplain-terrace continuum(i.e.,landward distribution)in the Xilin River Basin,Inner Mongolia,China.The floodplain had the highest microbial diversity and heterogeneity,with Bacteroidetes,β-andγ-Proteobacteria being the most abundant taxa.In contrast,the terrace had the lowest microbial diversity and heterogeneity,with Acidobacteria,Actinobacteria,Verrucomicrobia,Gemmatimonadetes,andα-Proteobacteria as the most abundant taxa.Silt particle,salinity,and moisture were the most influential factors for landward variation of bacterial communities along the riverside continuum.Altogether,we demonstrate that dominant bacterial lineages,soil particles,and moisture-related factors are valuable indicators of this continuum,which can be leveraged for the early prediction of drought-induced wetland shrinkage and grassland desertification.

It concludes that Dongjing's commercial space shows the following characteristics: developing in a linear form, gradually forming a commercial network system by integrating various shops, markets, and warehouses, expanding to the Outer City to combine the prosperous grassroots markets, and hosting commercial activities with longer business time.

Physical upgrading plan for slum riverside settlement in traditional area:A case study in Kuin Utara,Banjarmasin,Indonesia

This study aims to draw basic and global concepts for the physical improvement of slum riverside settlements as a fundamental step toward formalizing and securing tenure.Moreover,this work specifies attempts to arrange an upgrading plan derived from the basic strategy for our target location in the traditional settlement of Kuin Utara without failing to recognize its uniqueness and cultural activities.This paper discloses that the basic concept for physical upgrading in a slum settlement consists of three elements:(1)arranging street networks as fundamental systems that structure the settlement,(2)constructing public utility systems that are essential for livelihoods,and(3)providing common space and amenities as"external organs”that form identities and reveal the physical beauty of the location.The proposed infrastructures shall be directed to protect the local cultures and sociocultural activities of the inhabitants.The plan should also be adjusted with respect to the economic constraints in developing countries.Moreover,the improvement strategy for poor housings shall not orientate to modernization merely for beautification without considering the basic aspect:maintaining the dweller’s livelihood.
