A model of rainfall redistribution in terraced sandy grassland landscapes

A simple model of rainfall redistribution within a terraced sandy grassland landscape has been developed. The model assumes that rainfall redistribution is driven by rainfall impulses and is controlled by characteristic field capacity of soils. When the rainfall intensity is large enough to render soil water content greater than its characteristic field capacity, the excessive soil water can drain very quickly by means of large amounts of non-capillary pores of sandy soils or by means of surface runoff. Exponential distribution of rainfall impulses was assumed and tested with measured daily rainfall at two meteorological stations in the sandy grassland area of north China. The model was solved to give the equivalent rainfall at each terrace in the landscape.     

Geochemical Characteristics of the Acid Mine Drainage in the Water System in the Vicinity of the Dogye Coal Mine in Korea

This study investigated geochemical characteristics of the acid mine drainage (AMD) discharged from the abandoned mine adits in the vicinity of the Dogye coal mine in Korea. Acid mine drainage discharged from Jeoncha pit adit of the Dogye coal mine, which is the main source of the AMD in the study area, had a pH value of 3.0 and concentrations of 2148mg SO₄ ^2– L^–1, 229mg Fe L^–1, 71mg A1 L^–1 and 11mg Mn L^–1. The reduction of some metal concentrations downstream from the discharge point could be explained on the basis of dilution and precipitation. The order of removal of metal ions downstream from the discharge point was Fe>A1, Cu>Zn, Mn. Acidity could be used as a good determining factor offering comprehensive and quantitative values for the polluting extent of acid mine drainage. The acidities existing in all acidic water samples in the Gunahan district originated primarily from mineral acidity, especially in the upper Nahan Creek from dissolved Fe and Al and in the middle and down Nahan Creek from dissolved Al. From the application of the WATEQ4F program, it was determined that predominant species of dissolved Fe in all water samples was Fe²⁺, and those of dissolved Al were AlSO₄ ⁺ and Al³⁺ except for IW2 sample which was associated with white precipitates. The species of dissolved Al in IW2 sample include also AlOH²⁺ and Al(OH)₂ ⁺. The saturation indices of goethite and haematite were positive in the water samples associated with ochrous precipitates (usually called Yellow Boy), therefore these solids might be precipitated. For the IW2 sample, the saturation indices of amorphous Al(OH)₃ and gibbsite were positive, so theoretically these solids might also be precipitated. By XRD analysis, it was found that goethite occurs in ochrous precipitates, and gibbsite in white precipitates.     

Fish Community Structure as a Measure of Degradation and Rehabilitation of Riparian Systems in an Agricultural Drainage Basin

/ Assessing the health of ecological components of agroecosystems may be accomplished by examining changes in the drainage basin, which serves as an integrator of the agroecosystem landscape. In this study we examined fish communities in terms of an array of indicators of structure and related these to changes in riparian vegetation and agricultural practice. Evidence suggests management practices designed to foster healthier environments by, for example, reestablishing riparian vegetation were associated with positive impacts on the integrity of the fish community. At the same time, continued intensification of agricultural practices in parts of the drainage basin in recent years likely has had an off-setting influence in overall improvements in agroecosystem health. Assessments of changes in the structure of the fish associations provide the balance sheet by which the counteracting influences can be aggregated and assessed.KEY WORDS: Fish community structure; Riparian system; Agricultural drainage basin

锑矿开采条件下矿井水酸化过程分析

矿山开采过程产生的酸性排水及其携带的重金属对生态环境造成了严重的危害,其防控的关键在于控酸,因此矿井水酸化过程的解析可为矿山酸性排水的源头防控提供理论依据。本文以独山半坡锑矿为研究区,采集矿井内部不同区域水体样品32件,通过对水体酸化的矿物端元解析和重金属的共氧化过程、离子水解过程以及不同类型矿井水的混合过程分析,揭示了矿井水的酸化过程。结果表明,矿井内辉锑矿与黄铁矿的氧化使流经的矿井水具有低p H和高硫酸根的特征,与未受矿业活动影响的地下水具有明显差异。在矿井水流动过程中,Sb(Ⅲ)与Fe(Ⅱ)的共氧化过程消耗了氢离子,不同水体混合过程中碳酸氢根对酸的缓冲作用明显,以上过程延缓了矿井水的酸化;由于水体酸化使Al、Mn、Fe等离子溶出,而这些离子可能发生的水解过程加速了矿井水的酸化。

锑矿区酸性岩排水产生潜力预测研究

酸性岩排水(ARD)潜力预测研究对于预防、控制和治理金属矿山环境污染问题具有重要意义。本文应用酸碱估算法(ABA)和净产酸测试法(NAG),对贵州独山半坡锑矿区的19个代表性样品进行了产酸潜力评价,并应用各种分类标准对样品进行产酸能力分类。研究结果表明,所有的(废)矿石样品都具有产酸潜力(PAF),需要对(废)矿石进行有效的防控,以阻止酸性岩排水的产生。围岩样品的产酸潜力取决于采样点,尾矿样品没有产酸潜力(NAF)。ABA和NAG测试结果表明NAPP和NAGpH分类评价法适用于本研究区内样品ARD的预测评估。
