1956~2011年鄱阳湖水沙特征及其变化规律分析

近年来,鄱阳湖水沙研究集中在鄱阳湖"五河"各水文站的单站分析上,且水沙数据采用大多仅至21世纪初期,对缺测资料未进行有效插补。将鄱阳湖作为一个研究整体,分析了鄱阳湖水沙特征及其变化规律,以便为鄱阳湖泊形态变化研究以及水、沙资源的合理开发利用提供有利的参考依据。运用水沙相关、上下游泥沙相关法对部分缺测泥沙进行插补,获得1956~2011年的鄱阳湖入、出湖水沙系列数据。利用数理统计法、水沙双累积曲线法、Mann-Kendall法分析鄱阳湖入、出湖径流量与输沙量变化特征,并且探讨了水沙变化的原因。结果表明:(1)入湖径流量和输沙量的年内分配相一致,而长江水沙的倒灌影响了出湖径流量和输沙量的年内分配;(2)鄱阳湖入湖悬移质泥沙从90年代开始下降趋势加剧,而出湖悬移质泥沙1956~2000年整体呈下降趋势,2001~2011年呈现上升趋势;(3)鄱阳湖入、出湖年输沙量出现明显的突变点分别在1998年左右、2003年左右;(4)径流量总体处于相对稳定状态,但近10a来径流量略下降,主要受到降水量变少的影响,入湖输沙量变化受"五河"流域的水库蓄水拦沙、流域水土保持工作加强、人类河床采砂等因素影响;而出湖河段河床深度下切、江湖水面比降加大、人类在鄱阳湖采砂扰动河(湖)床均加大了近10a来出湖悬移质泥沙的输出。     

华南湿热区小流域水沙变化及影响因子分析——以五华河为例

以韩江上游梅江的一级支流五华河为研究区域,选取近30a来的径流、泥沙和降雨数据,运用累积滤波器、Mann-Kendall、R/S、降水-径流双累积曲线等多种统计模型方法,分析径流、泥沙的年际变化特征、突变和相关关系,并在受人类活动和气候变化影响的基础上,探讨径流、泥沙的变化规律以及贡献率。结果表明:(1)径流年际变化总体略呈下降趋势,但趋势不明显;输沙量则表现出显著下降的趋势;(2)未来年径流量和输沙量可能呈现持续减少的趋势;(3)径流量在1981~1985年、1997~2001年和2004~2008年这3个时段内发生突变;输沙量在1987年发生突变;(4)单位水流的含沙量较少,河床基本处于冲刷状态;(5)降水对径流量变化的贡献率为73%,人类活动对径流量变化的贡献率为27%;输沙量快速减少的变化中,气候变化的贡献率为21%,人类活动的贡献率为79%。可见降水是五华河流域径流量变化最重要的影响因素,而人类活动是输沙量变化最重要的影响因素。     

水资源开发对黄河下游河道环境生态功能的影响分析

黄河与国内外其它半干旱地区河流的一个最大区别 ,就是它是世界上年输沙量最大的一条河流 ,而且沿河排污量很大。因此 ,必须把保持黄河下游的泄洪排沙、水体自净等自然功能纳入流域整体开发中 ,避免下游河道出现由于人为影响而加速萎缩以及水环境恶化问题     

丹江流域水沙变化特征分析

丹江流域是南水北调中线工程重要水源地，近年来受多种因素影响，径流泥沙情况发生了很大变化，准确把握其变化趋势对水资源管理及水土保持工作意义重大。该文基于荆紫关水文站1958～2015年径流和悬移质输沙量资料，运用Mann-Kendall 检验法、距平累积法、滑动t检验法以及双累积曲线法，阐明了丹江流域近60年径流量和悬移质输沙量变化特征，定量分析了各影响因素在径流泥沙变化中的作用。结果表明：丹江流域径流量与悬移质输沙量年际变化大，呈显著下降趋势，1958～1972、1982～1989年为丰水丰沙期，1972～1981年与1990～2015年处于枯水枯沙期，径流量和悬移质输沙量分别在1983年与1989年发生突变。人为因素和降水的贡献率分别为58.8%和41.2%，说明人为因素特别是水利水土保持工程是引起丹江流域输沙变化的主要因素。     

长江干支流输沙量减少趋势及其影响因素浅析

通过对长江干支流各主要水文控制站的多年径流量、输沙量、含沙量、中值粒径等水沙基本特征值的统计分析，表明在过去的近50年时间内，长江干支流的年径流量中心趋势不存在具有显著统计意义的变化，而输沙量、含沙量、中值粒径值均有明显的下降态势。以水库建设和水土保持为主的人类活动是长江干支流泥沙输移量减少趋势的重要影响因素，在20世纪90年代以前长江输沙量的减少主要是水库建设的影响，之后随着“长治”工程的展开则兼具了水库建设和水土保持的影响，未来水土保持工作对长江保水减沙的长期效益将更为显著。     

Climatic and human drivers of recent lake-level change in East Juyan Lake,China

Drying of an inland river’s terminal lake in arid regions is an important signal of environmental degradation in downstream regions. A long-term, high-resolution understanding of the lake’s retreat and expansion and the driving mechanisms will inform future adaptive water management strategies, ecosystem restoration, and government decision-making in the context of a growing water scarcity in the inland river basin. The shrubs that grow along the shore of a lake often provide evidence of lake retreat or expansion. The chronological results showed that the earliest germination dates of the lakeshore shrubs, tamarisk, were in 1901, 1943, 1966, 2009, and 1990 from the higher terrace to the lower terrace of East Juyan Lake, a terminal lake of China’s Heihe River. Coupled with river and lake hydrological data, six obvious lake’s fluctuations were identified: shrinkage from 1900 to 1940s and during the early 1990s, expansion and retreat in the late 1950s and early 1970s, continued expansion from 2002 to 2008, and stabilization at a water area of around 40 km² from 2009 to the present. The water elevation in the 1900s was below 905 m a.s.l., resulting in a water area <80 km², but decreased to 40 km² after 1960 and dried up completely by the 1990s. By analysing climatic and hydrological records since 1950, tree-ring climate proxy data, river runoff outside the observation period, and water resource consumption in the middle and lower reaches of the Heihe River, we found that the periodic expansion and retreat of East Juyan Lake was influenced by both climate change and human activities, but especially by human activities. The lake’s recent recovery and stability was achieved by government policy designed to provide environmental flows to the lake.     

近60 a来长江干流输沙量变化及原因分析

根据长江干流宜昌、汉口、大通3个站点1954~2013年的输沙量数据，采用有序聚类和泥沙归因诊断分析等方法分析了3个站点输沙量时间序列的跳跃点以及降水、产流、产沙等各因素在输沙量变化中的贡献和作用。分析结果表明：3个站点的输沙量均存在明显的跳跃点，在跳跃点前后，输沙量出现较大幅度的下降，产沙能力的下降对输沙量比例变化率的贡献超过90%。人类活动造成的水库总库容量变化和长江流域植被覆盖度变化是造成长江干流输沙量变化的主要原因。结果表明：1985~2000年相比1954~1984年输沙量下降的585%、2001~2013年相比1985~2000年输沙量下降的831%是由于水库建设所造成。研究时段内流域植被覆盖度呈现先下降后上升的趋势。与1954~1984年相比，1985~2000年长江流域植被覆盖度下降，造成的输沙量变化为输沙量实际下降的 -436%，与1985~2000年相比，2001~2013年长江流域植被覆盖度上升，造成的输沙量下降贡献了输沙量实际下降的180%。 关键词： 长江；输沙量；突变点；人类活动     

近60年赣江水沙变化特征及影响因素分析

赣江是鄱阳湖流域最大水系,赣江水沙变化对鄱阳湖入湖径流、泥沙等水文特征有重要影响。目前对赣江水沙研究主要集中在下游外洲站河段,不足以反映全流域水沙变化规律。选取赣江上游4站、吉安和外洲水文站分别代表上、中、下游河段,基于近60 a的实测流量、悬移质泥沙资料,采用水文学和数理统计相结合的方法,分析赣江水沙年际变化特征以及可能影响因素,以期为流域水沙资源管理提供参考。结果表明:(1)赣江径流年际变化大,1970s、1990s水量较丰,其它年代径流偏少,年径流序列无显著变化趋势和突变点;(2)输沙量年际变化剧烈,呈显著降低趋势,上游4站、吉安站、外洲站输沙序列突变点分别为2002年、1995年、1995年,突变后年输沙量较突变前减少52%、71%、67%;(3)赣江上游水土保持建设是上游4站输沙量减小的主要原因;1993年后万安水库拦沙是吉安、外洲站输沙量显著减少的主要原因,水土保持、河道采砂也是引起吉安、外洲站输沙量减少的直接因素。(4)水土保持减沙的作用是缓慢和滞后的,而万安水库对下游河道的减沙作用是迅速而显著的。可见,赣江入鄱阳湖的年径流无明显减少趋势,入湖输沙量显著减少,有利于减少鄱阳湖的泥沙淤积、促进湖泊生态的良性发展。     

近四十年来长江源区河流水沙量的变化

长江源区是指直门达水文站以上长江干支流的广大集水区域，是长江的重要水源涵养区。通过统计分析直门达站1957－1999年的43a间年径流量和年输沙量的变化情况，得出几个基本结论：长江源区年径流的变化主要受气候等自然因素的影响，年径流周期性变化较为明显，径流丰水年，偏丰水年出现最多的年份是20世纪60年代和80年代，枯水年和偏枯年出现最多的年份是70和90年代，总体上看40年间节径流基本稳定，但90年代比80年代有趋向偏枯的现象；年输沙量与年径流量的变化基本同步，年输沙量的变化主要取决于年径流量的变化，年输沙量也呈弱周期性变化状态，并有趋向减少的势头，近10a直门达站年径流量呈递减的趋势导致了年输沙量呈相应的变化；长江源区径流量和输沙量年内主要集中在5－10月，分别占年径流量和年输沙量的87．3％和99％；沱沱河由于径流以冰川补给为主，径流量与输沙量的变化呈现出不同的特征。     

基于MODIS的雅鲁藏布江流域干旱动态监测及对植被胁迫作用的研究

基于MODIS数据利用垂直干旱指数模型和重心模型分析了2011年4月~2012年4月的雅鲁藏布江流域干旱动态变化,并就干旱对植被的胁迫作用做了进一步探讨。研究发现：（1）干旱强度减弱区主要分布于雅鲁藏布江流域的中部,而干旱强度增强区则主要集中于该流域的上游及下游地区;（2）2012年4月份雅鲁藏布江流域的总体干旱强度相比2011年4月有所加重,轻度干旱、重度干旱区均有所增长,而湿润区则有一定减小。干旱强度加重较大的区域主要分布于拉萨河流域及＞3 000～4 000 m、＞4 000～5 000 m高度带;（3）雅鲁藏布江流域的NDVI与PDI的重心迁移具有很好的负相关性,说明其干旱动态变化对植被具有较明显的胁迫作用     

湖南省四水流域水沙周期特征及其影响因素分析

采用复小波变换和M K非参数检验的方法分析了湖南省四水流域主要控制站1951~2011年径流量与输沙量周期规律和突变特征。结果表明：(1)湖南四水径流量存在多个波动增加和波动减少的波动变化现象，但无显著变化趋势；而输沙量虽然有一定的波动，但总体上呈波动减少变化态势，而且下降趋势较显著;(2)湘潭站、桃江站和桃源站径流量和输沙量存在20~25 a的第一主周期，而石门站径流量和输沙量的第一主周期不具有一致性，径流量主周期为2 a，输沙量主周期为13 a，但其径流量和输沙量第二、三主周期变化规律相吻合，均为3~5 a的周期;(3)大量的水利工程建设是导致输沙量减少的主要原因，径流量的变化与降水的变化规律较为一致     

1973～2017年扬中市江岸冲淤遥感监测及古河道塌江分析

江心岛沿江地区的泥沙淤积、水流侵蚀以及江堤坍塌对江心岛面积形态、滩涂围垦、航道变化、河口生态等都会产生重大影响。以长江干流第二大江心岛——扬中市为研究对象，基于遥感影像监测了1973~2017年沿江区域冲淤变化和塌江区域，结合多种资料分析变化成因。结果表明：（1）1973~2017年扬中市沿江地区冲淤变化分3个阶段，不同阶段淤积和冲蚀特点鲜明；（2）经过经纬度定位， 扬中市塌江区域发生在1930年扬中市主岛太平洲右侧两个江心岛之间的夹江与西南—东北向的一条古河道的交汇处；（3）塌江事件与常规水流冲刷无关，古河道出口被堵形成水压，沿江区域江底“深槽”引发“旋流”掏空底部泥沙，加上汛期后江水下泄，内外压力差加大直接引发塌江。     

Distribution of some trace metals and their fluxes in the Genesee River,NY

Total and particulate metal concentrations, measured during intensive synoptic studies of the Genesee River, NY, correlated with suspended-sediment concentration and river discharge. Dissolved metal concentrations, on the other hand, showed little systematic variation over the length of the river. Metal and sediment fluxes for two elevated-discharged periods peaked at a midbasin sampling site. For most metals at most sampling sties particulate materials comprised over one-half of the total material. Comparison of particulate material metal concentrations, normalized to the measured suspended-sediment concentrations had with basinwide average values shows that sites having low suspended-sediment concentrations had high particulate material metal contents relative to the basin averages, while sites with high suspended-sediment concentration had low metal contents. These results are consistent with a metal transport mechanism in the Genesee River involving (1) a nearly constant dissolved component, (2) a fine acid-soluble component, and (3) a coarse component that is effectively a neutral diluent in the sediment. Chemical factors, such as sediment organic content, also appear to affect metal transport in the Genesee River.     

近40年来长江流域水沙变化趋势及可能影响因素探讨

利用Mann Kendall方法,分析了近40年长江流域主要水文站点（长江干流水文站：屏山站、宜昌站、汉口站与大通站;支流水文站：嘉陵江的北碚站和汉江的皇庄站）的流量及输沙率的变化特征。结果表明：①长江流域流量与输沙量变化受人类活动（土地利用、水利设施建设等）与自然因素（如降水的时空变化）综合因素影响,变化趋势表现出复杂性,上、中、下游各有特点;②长江流域屏山站以上流域输沙率有上升趋势（1~5月份上升趋势达到95%的置信度水平）,这与上游河床坡度较大,使泥沙不易沉积以及暴雨与降水增加有关;③长江中下游输沙呈显著下降趋势。计算结果表明,宜昌-汉口河段是长江流域泥沙主要沉积区,加上葛州坝与三峡工程的建成与投入使用,从而进一步使中下游输沙量呈下降趋势。由于下游降水增加,使下游径流量自1980s以来有微弱上升趋势,但未达到95%的置信度水平,中上游流量变化不显著。对上、中、下游人为因素与自然因素对流域流量与输沙量的变化贡献率方面需要做进一步的研究。     

长江源和黄河源的大型底栖动物群落特征研究

本研究于2009年8月和2010年7月对黄河源和长江源的大型底栖动物开展了系统调查。调查期间两区域共鉴定底栖动物66种，隶属于28科57属。其中，环节动物2科5属8种，软体动物2科2属5种，节肢动物23科49属52种，其它动物1科1属1种。长江源大型底栖动物种数、密度、生物量分别为29种、59 ind./m2、00 307 g dry mass/m2；黄河源大型底栖动物种数、密度、生物量分别为48种、369 ind./m2、04 520 g dry mass/m2。长江源动物资源量较低归因于泥沙含量较高和湿地退化。从生态环境的可持续发展角度出发，建设河源区生态屏障尤为重要，这需要实施天然林保护工程，因地制宜开展乔灌草植被建设，防止草地退化和沙化，减缓土壤侵蚀速率，减少河流输沙量，维系河流生态健康。     

梯级水库对长江水沙过程影响初探

长江中上游干流及主要支流正在进行大规模水电开发,按目前的规划和建设步伐,在未来20~30年,这些河段将形成一系列梯级水库。根据近20年来水文观测和资料统计,初步分析了长江水沙变化情况和发生变化的原因;通过一些已建大型水库的观测资料,分析了水库对泥沙输移规律的影响方式和程度;最后,提出减小梯级水库对长江生态环境影响的对策和建议。分析表明：长江的水沙过程已经发生变化,绝大多数河段输沙量明显减少;梯级水库的建设是输沙量减少的主要因素之一;梯级水库建设不仅使输沙量和径流量减少,而且显著改变了天然河流的水沙过程,给长江中下游及河口地区生态环境带来一定影响。为了减小梯级水库对河流自然属性的影响,必须转变长江治理的思路,由江河治理向科学管理转变,利用洪水冲沙和水库群的优化调度,尽量维持河流的自然属性。     

Anthropogenic impacts on suspended sediment load in the Upper Yangtze river

Climate change and human disturbance drive catchment erosion and increase riverine sediment load sensitively in small and medium-sized watersheds. This is not always true in large basins, where aggregation and buffering effects have dampen the ability to determine the driving forces of sedimentation. Even though there are significant responses to sedimentation in large river basins, it is difficult to get a precise quantitative assessment of specific drivers. This paper develops a methodology to identify driving forces that change suspended sediment load in the Upper Yangtze river. Annual runoff and sediment load data from 1954 to 2005 at the Yichang gauging station in the Upper Yangtze basin, daily precipitation data from 60 meteorological stations, and survey data on reservoir sediment were collected for the study. Sediment load/rainfall erosivity (S/R), is a new proxy indicator introduced to reflect human activities. Since the mid-1980s, S/R in the Upper Yangtze has dramatically declined from 0.21 to 0.03 (×10¹⁰ t ha h MJ⁻¹ mm⁻¹), indicating that human activity has played a key role in the decline of the suspended sediment load. Before the mid-1980s, a higher average S/R is attributed to large-scale deforestation and land reclamation. A significant sediment decrease occurred from 1959 to 1961 during an extreme drought condition, and an increase in sedimentation in 1998 coincided with an extreme flood event, which was well recorded in the S/R curve. This indicates that the S/R proxy is able to distinguish anthropogenic from climate impacts on suspended sediment load, but is not necessarily indicatory in extreme climate events. In addition, typical drivers of riverine sediment load variation including soil conservation projects, reservoirs construction, and land use/cover change are discussed.     

Restoration of the lower reaches of the Tarim River in China

The middle and lower reaches of the Tarim River are areas of rich biodiversity and natural resources in the inland arid region of China. However, the Tarim River and its associated wetlands have been severely damaged and fragmented during the past several decades. To restore the deteriorated ecosystem and preserve the endangered riverine vegetation along the Tarim River, a project for releasing water from upper dams to the lower reaches of the Tarim River was initiated by China’s government in 2000. Between 2000 and 2005, we monitored the responses of groundwater levels and vegetation to this mitigation along nine transects spaced at mean intervals of 45 km along the river from Daxihaizi Reservoir, the source of water conveyance, to the Lake Taitema, the mouth of the Tarim River. We found that average groundwater levels rose significantly from 8 to 4 m below ground surface. Species diversity did not change during the 5-year period, but the total vegetation coverage and canopy size of some species significantly increased. The endangered tree species, Populus euphratica, started to regenerate. Our results indicated that species diversity might recover very slowly, even if the trial water release program became a permanent river management practice. Management decisions about allocating limited water supplies among competing uses in arid regions will ultimately determine whether degraded river ecosystems, such as the Tarim River, can be restored.     

Assessment of climate change simulations over climate zones of Turkey

Projected climate change over Turkey has been analyzed by using the reference (1961–1990) and future (2071–2100) climate simulations produced by ICTP-RegCM3. Since examining Turkey as a single region could be misleading due to the existence of complex topography and different climatic regions, Turkey has been separated into seven climatic regions to evaluate the surface temperature and precipitation changes. Comparison of the reference simulation with observations was made spatially by using a monthly gridded data set and area-averaged surface data compiled from 114 meteorological stations for each climatic region of Turkey. In the future simulation, warming over Turkey’s climatic regions is in the range of 2–5 °C. Summer warming over western regions of Turkey is 3 °C higher than the winter warming. During winter, in the future simulation, precipitation decreases very significantly over southeastern Turkey (24 %), which covers most of the upstream of Euphrates and Tigris river basin. This projected decrease could be a major source of concern for Turkey and the neighboring countries. Our results indicate that a significant increase (48 %) in the autumn season precipitation is simulated over southeastern Turkey, which may help to offset the winter deficit and therefore reduce the net change during the annual cycle.     

Impact of Massanjore Dam on hydro-geomorphological modification of Mayurakshi River,Eastern India

Massanjore reservoir (area ~67 km²) located 84 km downstream from the most distant upstream source capacitates 620,000,000 m³ of water, and regulated flow characters are highly responsible for dam downstream alteration of hydrological, sedimentological and geomorphological characteristics of Mayurakshi River. In dam after condition, monsoon water level (mean water level during monsoon months) and pre-monsoon water level (mean water level during pre-monsoon months, i.e., March–May) have attenuated about 0.56 and 0.32 m, respectively. Maximum duration of high flow period during monsoon has reduced up to 16.5 %; coefficient of variation of diurnal fluctuation of water level during monsoon has increased from 31 to 47 %. Suspended sediment load in Mayurakshi River is reduced to 34 % in dam after period as recorded at Narayanpur gauge station. Average suspended sediment load has decreased even after Tilpara barrage construction from 4.960 to 4.350 mg/L. Average suspended sediment load is 7.875 mg/L in the sites of dam upstream course, and this average is only 4.46 mg/L in different sites of dam downstream course. Volume of discharge has decreased up to 11.3 % during monsoon time in dam after condition. Such reduction in discharge volume in turn has reduced about 24.6 % bed load-carrying capacity. As a result, huge deposition within channel invigorated channel bed aggradations (average 73.6 cm up to Saspara, site 14 at Fig. 1) in dam after condition. Narrowing of active channel, coarsening of channel bed materials, lowering of lateral stability, accelerating rise of braiding index, mixed response of the channel adjustment of the tributaries to local scale positive or negative base level change due to river bed aggradations and degradation, etc. signify the morphological alteration of dam downstream course.
