Impacts of Soil-Water Conservation in Jialing River on Sedimentation of the Three Gorges Reservoir

The Jialing River is one of the main tributaries of the Yangtze River. The average annual runoff accounts for 16 % and the sediment load 26% of the total at Yichang therefore it＇s one of the main contributors of sediment to the Three Gorges Reservoir. Ever since 1989, our country has implemented ＂Yangtze River soil and water conservation＂ project, Till the end of 1996, altogether 25.8 % of erosion area in Jialing River has been improved after large scale conservation has taken effect. The analysis and comparison between records taken before and after the implementation of soil and water conservation on runoff and sediment yield indicated that the sediment load soil erosion in Jialing river basin has been taken under control to some extent. Amount of annual runoff in main conservations have generally dropped by exponential function. Obvious result has been achieved in Jialing River, efficiency of sand reduction is about 10%-25%. Therefore, sediment to Three Gorges Reservoir is decreased accordingly, and it will be beneficial to take advantage of reser- voir＇s synthetic benefit.

Evaluation of Gross Alpha and Gross Beta Radioactivity in Crude Oil Polluted Soil, Sediment and Water in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria

The evaluation of gross alpha and beta activities in crude oil contaminated soil, sediment and water samples was conducted in ten oil polluted environment of Delta State using Gas-flow proportional counter. Samples were collected from the oil polluted environment in each oil field and samples were prepared and analyzed following standard procedures. The mean gross alpha and beta activities obtained are 331.4 ± 24.5 Bq kg-1 and 11,335 ± 112 Bq kg-1 respectively for soil, 259.2 ± 17.6 Bq kg-1 and 4508 ± 96 Bq kg-1 respectively for sediment, and 1.00 ± 0.09 Bq kg-1 and 20.3 ± 1.7 Bq kg-1 respectively for water. The estimated average values of the total annual effective dose equivalent (AEDET (α,β)), the total annual gonadal dose equivalent (AGDET (α,β))), and the total excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCRT (α,β)) are 10.64 mSv y-1, 0.037 μSv y-1 and 0.037 μSv y-1 respectively. The gross alpha and beta activities values obtained in soil and sediment were relatively high compared to values reported in some parts of the country and other regions and countries of the world. The radiological risk parameters examined show that AEDET (α,β) and AGDET (α,β) are above recommended permissible limits while ELCRT (α,β) is within the recommended permissible limit. The overall results obtained in this study indicate that the environmental samples have been radiologically impaired due to the crude oil spillage. An appropriate remediation technique was therefore recommended to remediate the polluted soil, sediment, and water to their near original state.

Effects of Terracing and Agroforestry on Soil and Water Loss in Hilly Areas of the Sichuan Basin, China

Soil erosion in hilly areas of the Sichuan Basin is a serious concern over sustainable crop production and sound ecosystem. A 3-year experiment was conducted using the method of runoff plots to examine the effects of terracing and agroforestry in farmland systems on soil and water conservation of slope fields in the hilly areas in Jianyang County, Sichuan Province, Southwestern China. A power function (Y = aXb) can statistically describe the relationship between water runoff (Y) and rainfall (X). The regression equation for the treatment of sloping terraces with crops (Plot 2) is remarkably different from that for the treatment of sloping terraces with grasses and trees (Plot 1) and the conventional up- and down-slope crop system (Plot 3) regarding equation coefficients, while regression equations are similar between Plot 1 and Plot 3. Water runoff amount and runoff coefficient of slope fields increased by 21.5～41.0 % and 27.5～69.7 % respectively, compared to those of sloping terraces, suggesting that terracing notably reduced the water runoff in the field. In the case of sloping terraces, lower amount of water runoff was observed on sloping terraces with crops than on sloping terraces with grasses and trees. Sediment yields on the slope fields in the normal year of rainfall distribution were notably higher (34.41～331.67 % and 37.06～403.44 % for Plot 1 and Plot 2, respectively) than those on sloping terraces, implying that terracing also plays a significant role in the reduction in soil erosion. It is suggested that terracing with crops is significantly effective for soil and water conservation in cultivatedfarmland, while the conventional practice of up- and down- slope cultivation creates high rates of water runoff and soil sediment transport. Terracing with grasses and fruit trees shows a less reduction in water runoff than terracing with crops, which was observed in the 3-year experiments.

Impacts of Land Cover Changes on Runoff and Sediment in the Cedar Creek Watershed,St.Joseph River,Indiana,United States

The relation between runoff and sediment and land cover is investigated in the Cedar Creek Watershed (CCW), located in Northeastern Indiana, United States. The major land cover types in this watershed are cultivated land, woodland and pasture /Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which account for approximate 90 % of the total area in the region. Moreover, land use was changed tremendously from 2000 to 2004, even without regarding the effect of the crop rotation system (corn & soybean). At least 49 % of land cover types were changed into other types in this period. The land cover types, ranking by changing area from high to low series, are rye, soybean, corn, woodland and pasture/CRP. The CCW is divided into 21 sub- watersheds, and soil and water loss in each sub-watershed is computed by using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The results indicate that the variations in runoff and sediment have positive relation to the area of crops (especially corn and soybean); sediment is more sensitive to land cover changes than runoff; more heavy rainfall does not always mean more runoff because the combination of different land cover types always modify runoff coefficient; and rye, soybean and corn are the key land cover types, which affected the variation in runoff and sediment in the CCW.

水土保持生态建设下的黄土高原典型流域水沙响应

为探讨黄土高原多沙粗沙区流域水沙关系演变特征及其对水土流失治理的响应,以黄河中游无定河流域为研究对象,综合采用水沙关系曲线、数理统计等多种方法,系统分析1956—2019年间无定河流域水沙关系多时间尺度演变特征及其与水土流失治理的协同响应。研究结果表明:1)研究时段内,无定河流域年径流及年输沙量呈锐减趋势(P<0.05),且均在1970年左右发生减少突变;2)流域水沙关系在年际和场次洪水尺度上均发生深刻变化。2010年以后,暴雨频发导致流域内侵蚀物源头供应明显增加,流域河道泥沙输送能力小幅提高;3)水土保持措施实施对流域水沙锐减影响较大。2000年前后在相似降雨条件下,单位降雨量径流量和单位降雨量输沙量较20世纪70年代减少47%和62%。水土保持措施面积增加与流域径流输沙减少呈现较好的一致性,流域水土流失治理在提高黄河多沙粗沙区流域下垫面抗侵蚀能力等方面发挥重要作用。研究结果可为科学认知区域水土流失治理成效及入黄泥沙锐减成因提供参考。

不同作物种植模式下坡耕地产流产沙的模拟研究

产流产沙是坡耕地水土流失的主要形式,为探讨不同种植模式对坡耕地产流产沙的影响,采用室内人工模拟降雨试验方法,在同一坡度、3种雨强下对坡耕地7种种植模式进行模拟试验。结果表明:1)不同种植模式下坡面产流量随雨强增大而增大,初始产流时间随雨强增大而缩短。坡面产流量趋势为先逐渐增大,之后(10 min左右)逐渐趋于稳定。C单种模式减流效果最差;A-B-C套种模式减流效果最好;低矮作物单种及参与的套种模式能更好促进降雨入渗。2)不同种植模式下坡面产沙量与雨强呈正相关,低矮作物参与的种植模式径流含沙量变化幅度较小,中、高单种或套种模式径流含沙量变化复杂。小、中雨强下,A-B-C套种模式减沙效果最好;大雨强下,A-B套种模式减沙效果最好。低矮作物参与的种植模式减沙效果优于中、高作物单种其套种模式。3)不同种植模式下产流量和雨强均呈极显著正相关。B、C单种模式与A-B-C套种模式产沙量与雨强有相关关系,其余模式与雨强的相关性不显著。综上,低矮作物单种及低矮作物参与的套种模式能有效减流、保土,因此坡耕地在进行农作物种植时应考虑增加低矮作物参与种植,避免造成大量水土流失。

黄河下游典型河段滩岸崩退特性研究

黄河下游局部河段滩岸崩退频繁,严重危害堤防及滩区安全。通过对黄河下游开展现场观测,结合已有断面地形实测数据,描绘滩岸崩退全过程及特点,评估土体特性及近岸水沙条件对崩岸的影响。研究表明:滩岸崩退引起黄河下游河道展宽,且崩岸规模具有时空差异性,2006年和2018年汛期重点河段平滩河宽分别增加了57.03 m和7.83 m,代表性横断面单侧滩岸最大崩退宽度高达207.20 m。黄河下游土体压实程度低,抗冲能力差,加之土体抗剪强度随含水量增大呈反向变化,致使在汛期崩岸频发。“大流量-小含沙量”的水沙组合易于造成崩岸,而在大含沙量下因泥沙在近岸河床淤积而降低了崩岸发生规模。建议对重点区域滩岸进行长期监测,并加强生态友好型护岸系统建设。

1986-2018年黄土丘陵区典型小流域不同水文年水沙变化

[目的]探讨黄土丘陵区罗玉沟典型小流域水沙变化趋势以及不同水文年径流输沙对水土流失治理的响应差异,量化降水和人类活动对流域水沙影响的相对贡献,以期为黄土丘陵第三副区流域水土流失治理和水资源管理提供参考。[方法]基于罗玉沟流域1986—2018年的降雨、径流、输沙等数据,采用Mann-Kendall检验法、累积距平法及双累积曲线法分析流域水沙变化趋势及驱动因素。[结果]1986—2018年罗玉沟流域河流由常流河转变为季节性河流,干河日数显著上升(p<0.01),2000年以来干河日数多在300 d以上;同期,罗玉沟流域径流输沙显著下降(p<0.05),与基准期1986—1993年相比,1994—2007年减水减沙率分别为61.9%,44.3%,2008—2018年径流输沙分别减少67.5%,76.4%;在2008—2018年平水年和枯水年间罗玉沟流域输沙模数分别为(1 080.0±107.5) t/km^(2),(167.8±111.4) t/km^(2),而在暴雨频发丰水年,输沙模数仍接近4 000 t/km^(2);流域产流产沙能力降低,水沙关系发生改变,相同径流条件下输沙量减少,即流域径流含沙量水平降低,开始变清;相比降雨变化而言,人类活动是流域水沙变化的主导因素,1994—2007年人类活动对减水减沙的贡献率分别为83.3%和79.5%,而2008—2018年人类活动的贡献率分别为91.8%,94.4%,表明流域水沙变化受人类活动影响越来越大,其中,坡改梯及退耕还林还草工程是主要影响因素。[结论]因沟道治理工程建设不足,罗玉沟流域在丰水年因沟道重力侵蚀导致流域输沙仍然剧烈,因此,需要加强沟道治理进一步减少流域水土流失。

辽西低山丘陵区坡面暴雨产流产沙过程及水保效益

基于辽西低山丘陵区二道岭小流域坡面径流和泥沙现场观测,研究暴雨条件下(7·28暴雨)6种不同水土保持措施的坡面产流产沙过程及水土保持效益。结果表明,在暴雨过程中,与裸地相比,耕作措施中的顺垄耕作缩短了初始产流时间,工程措施和林草措施延长了初始产流时间。不同措施的产流产沙过程和雨强变化趋势相似,横垄耕作的径流和含沙量与雨强存在延后现象。在暴雨条件下,以裸地作为对照,林草措施具有良好的减流减沙效果,而农业措施的顺垄耕作则增大了产流产沙作用,加剧了水土流失。

黄土丘陵沟壑区坡面水沙尺度传递效应及其影响因素分析

2011-2020年赣江上游主要支流水沙变化特征

[目的]探讨近十年来赣江流域上游主要支流水沙变化的基本特征,阐明赣江上游水土保持措施与河川输沙量的关系,为赣江流域的水土流失综合治理提供科学依据。[方法]以赣江流域上游4条主要支流把口站2011—2020年水沙实测资料为基础,采用累积距平、双累积曲线等方法对支流水沙变化特征进行分析,并结合相关水土保持措施统计数据对输沙模数进行线性回归分析。[结果](1)赣江上游主要支流的降雨量和径流量的变化趋势大体相同,主要支流的输沙量呈现“丰水丰沙,贫水贫沙”的特征。(2)四条支流的输沙量均表现出持续2~3 a的上升(下降)随后出现下降(上升)的间歇性态势。除平江流域外其他流域输沙能力受非自然因素影响较大,影响因素较为复杂。(3) 2011—2020年赣江流域上游支流中平江、桃江及贡水流域输沙模数与5个水土保持因子无显著相关关系。章水流域输沙模数与新增水保林面积呈显著正相关。章水流域输沙模数与水土保持措施因子的关系方程如下:Mz=0.019S水保林+5.126(Mz表示章水的年输沙模数,S水保林代表对应支流流域内水土保持措施年新增面积)。(4)提出新增水土保持措施的面积占比:封育治理(52.0%~60.0%),经果林(22%~25%),水保林(20%~23%),种草(2%~3%),坡改梯(2%~3%)。[结论]赣江上游主要支流的降雨量和径流量的变化特征大体相同,但个别年份存在径流量与降雨量不成正比的反常情况。影响赣江上游主要支流输沙能力的因素较为复杂,其中水土保持措施是影响赣江上游章水流域水沙变化的主要人为因素,章水流域输沙模数与新增水保林面积呈显著正相关。
