Chemical and microbiological examination of well and Nile water

The chemical composition and microbiological contamination of well water and Nile River water used for drinking were investigated in localities around Khartoum, Sudan, to present baseline data. The chemical analyses results obtained indicated that public health hazards due to pH, Ca⁺⁺, CO₃^??, HCO₃^?, and NO₃^? are unlikely in all the samples studied, while Na⁺ and Cl^? ions concentrations in well water warrant some attention. Contamination from organic matter and suspended material is also negligible. Microbial contamination with coliform and fecal coliform is high in surface wells and in the Nile River, but negligible in deep bores, tap water, and mineral water. The logarithm of the colony count ranges from zero for mineral water to 6.8 for water from the White Nile. In addition to drawing further attention to the well water and Nile water used for drinking by a wide sector of the population, the microbial count data for water from the Nile disagreed with the generally held belief that the Nile, being one of the largest rivers of the world, carries no detectable fecal contamination. Our data also did not support the belief that the White Nile is more contaminated than the Blue Nile.     

Chemical tracers as indicator of human fecal coliforms at storm water outfalls

Indicators to distinguish between fecal coliforms of human and animal origin were investigated in water from storm sewer outfalls to a coastal lake during wet and dry weather. The ratio of fecal coliform relative to fecal streptococci count was used as the microbiological indicator. Concentrations of human-activities originated caffeine, anionic surfactant, fluoride, and fluorescence whitening agent (FWA) were used as chemical indicators. The ratio of fecal coliform to fecal streptococci ranged from 0.2 to 3.0, during wet weather making it difficult to interpret the origin of fecal pollution. However, concentrations of caffeine, anionic surfactant, fluoride, and FWA in storm water outflow during wet weather were much higher than those in the lake water during dry weather, indicating the presence of human waste at storm water outfall. Strong correlation between fecal coliform counts and chemical parameter values further indicated the human contribution to the fecal coliform count. In addition, a strong correlation among the chemical parameters suggested that only one of them is needed as chemical tracer to detect the presence of human input.     

望虞河引清调水改善太湖水环境定量分析

以望虞河引清调水实践为背景,利用引水调水现状及实测数据,建立适合太湖的二维水量水质数学模型,并模拟计算调水前后湖体各项水质因子浓度的空间变化规律。结果显示：水利调度影响下太湖湖体中高锰酸盐指数、氨氮、和总氮的浓度大体上有所减小,改善率分别为60%、160%和92%,总磷稍有反弹,其指标恶化了44%,太湖湖体水质总体改善面积37%,主要集中在贡湖、梅梁湖及东部湖区这些引排水水流流经的区域,表明“引江济太”调水工程对改善太湖局部湖区水质、保障太湖供水安全具有重要意义,可为其他类似水域的水污染治理提供科学参考和依据     

鄱阳湖枯水期水体营养浓度及重金属含量分布研究

通过监测鄱阳湖枯水期的主湖区、五河入湖口以及碟形湖表层水体氮、磷等营养浓度以及重金属含量变化,对鄱阳湖全湖的营养状况以及重金属污染现状进行了系统分析。结果表明：2010年枯水期的鄱阳湖流域表层水体总氮、总磷、化学需氧量等含量较高,达富营养化水平,湖泊水质受总氮、氨态氮、总磷和pH的影响较大。且鄱阳湖水域的氮、磷等营养存在明显的空间差异。研究结果进一步显示,饶河入湖口水体N、P污染最严重（TN 314 mg/L;TP 025 mg/L）,修河入湖口污染程度次之（TN 134 mg/L;TP 009 mg/L）,而南矶山碟形湖水体污染最小（TN 049 mg/L;TP 005 mg/L）。鄱阳湖表层水体重金属Pb、Cd的含量较低,符合国家渔业水质标准要求,尤其是湖泊Cd含量低于地表水Ｉ类标准。但鄱阳湖流域Cu、Zn污染较严重     

江苏天目湖表层沉积物中多环芳烃污染特征与来源

区别于长江三角洲地区众多的大型天然浅水湖泊，江苏天目湖是一个较深的水库型湖泊，也是重要的城乡生活及工农业水源地之一。为了解天目湖表层沉积物中多环芳烃（PAHs）污染状况， 2006年在天目湖全湖采集7个点位的表层沉积物样品，利用GC/MS分析了16种优控PAHs。结果表明：天目湖表层沉积物中16种优控PAHs总量介于28750~71393 ng/g（干重），平均值为45852 ng/g；在空间分布上，北部受污染程度高于南部，主要是北部旅游业快速发展导致污染物排放的影响；沉积物中总有机碳含量与PAHs总量呈显著相关；利用特征化合物指数对PAHs的来源进行判别，指示天目湖表层沉积物中PAHs的主要来源是木材、煤的不完全燃烧。与不同地区水体沉积物PAHs含量对比表明，天目湖PAHs污染处于一个低至中等程度。基于沉积物中多环芳烃的环境质量标准，仅有1个样点芴浓度超过风险效应低值，但远小于毒性风险效应中值，因此沉积物中多环芳烃的生态风险较小。然而天目湖表层沉积物中的PAHs的污染程度已超过南水北调东线所经过的南四湖，而且天目湖湖水较深，湖水交换周期比较长，其PAHs污染应引起重视，需制定切实措施保护江苏“最后一泓净水”。     

Bacteriological study of Upper Lake of Bhopal, India

In order to assess the water quallty of the upper lake of Bhopal (India) after the leakage of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas from the Union Carbide factory, Bhopal, bacteriological study of the lake water was carried out. Water samples were collected from eight different sampling stations from the eastern, western, northern and southern sides of the lake. The study has revealed that the coliform bacteria are increased (24000/mL) at the onset of summer and are dropped to a minimum (120/mL) during monsoon season against the permissible limit of 100/mL recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for water to be used for drinking purposes. The data collected show that the water quality of the Upper lake is deteriorated and is gradually becoming unfit for drinking.     

鄱阳湖流域农村生活区面源污染特征及其影响

农村生活区水环境是流域水环境的重要组成部分。鄱阳湖流域是我国的重要农业生产区,农村人口众多,未经过处理的生活污水、生活垃圾和固体废弃物、分散畜禽养殖污染由于无序排放导致了鄱阳湖流域河湖水质下降,湖泊富营养化指数升高。通过采用污染物当量算法对鄱阳湖流域农村生活区面源污染估算,分析了1991~2011年农村生活污染现状及其趋势,并分析了鄱阳湖河湖水质变化趋势及其在农村生活区面源污染中的影响因子。研究结果表明：（1）1991～2011年,鄱阳湖流域农村人口、生活污染、生活垃圾和固体废弃物污染、分散畜禽养殖污染不断增加,其中农村生活污水污染物排放量、TN、TP和COD排放量增长了1268%,年平均增长量分别为036、002、1681和021万t;固体废弃物排放量、TN和TP排放量增加了1268%,年增长量分别为362、076和080万t;分散畜禽养殖污染TN、TP和COD的含量分别增长了9913%、6384%和7227%,年均增长量分别为022、003和009万t;（2）2000年以来,鄱阳湖流域河湖水质呈下降趋势,其中鄱阳湖湖泊的水质和富营养化指数下降趋势分别在001和005水平上具有显著性;（3）鄱阳湖流域农村生活区面源污染对流域水环境具有一定的影响,其中分散畜禽养殖污染的影响相对较大     

滇池水污染经济损失估算

滇池的水污染问题已经严重影响昆明经济社会的可持续发展。为估算因水污染造成的经济损失,首先利用滇池外海8个观测点的水质监测数据,应用时空地质统计学模拟滇池水体各污染因子浓度的分布,并依据水质指标的浓度分布对滇池水质区域划分为北部、中部、南部3个区域,然后从饮用水、渔业、旅游、灌溉4种水体功能入手,结合詹姆斯“浓度-价值曲线”模型和污染损失率法分别对滇池每个区域的水污染经济损失进行估算。通过计算,2010年滇池水污染经济损失总计7275亿元,其中北部、中部、南部区域的水污染经济损失分别为1552、3759、1964亿元。从各区域的污染损失率来看,滇池水资源饮用水源功能已丧失,渔业功能部分丧失（损失率＞90%）,目前滇池水资源主要用于旅游和灌溉     

Pollution studies on Nigerian rivers: The onset of lead pollution of surface waters in Ibadan

Lead levels in the waters and sediments of the lake of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Agodi Lake, Oba Lake, at three stations on Ogunpa stream, and at three stations on Ona River were measured from October 1977 to June 1978, using the combined APDC-MIBK-flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry technique. The lead levels recorded ranged from 0.2 to 46 μg/L for the aqueous phases; however, the levels in the sediments were much higher, ranging from about 18 to 85 mg/kg (dry weight). Although there is nothing alarming about these levels, the levels of lead in water bodies located in areas with high traffic density were consistently higher than levels for comparable waters in low traffic density areas. Similarly, lead levels were significantly higher in the fresh sediments of water bodies in areas with high traffic density, clearly indicating the onset of lead pollution for those high traffic density areas.     

太湖水质的时空分异特征及其与水华的关系

在大量调查数据的基础上,分析了太湖水质的时空分异特征,探讨了太湖不同湖区、不同季节水质差异的原因。研究结果显示：北部的入湖河口区、几个湖湾、湖心区、西南湖区、东部湖区水体的透明度、高锰酸盐指数、氮、磷、叶绿素等富营养化指标差异显著。入湖河口区的高锰酸盐指数和营养盐含量高于南部湖区数倍,也明显高于北部湖湾区,这反映出太湖西北部入湖河道污染对太湖影响显著。不同季节太湖水质指标也差异显著,冬春期(12～次年5月份)水体的氮含量高于夏秋季(6～11月份)近1倍。水质季节性的显著差异进一步说明了外源输入对太湖水质的影响。研究表明太湖水质的时空异质性既受太湖湖泊形态特征本身的影响,也更多受到外源污染的影响,解决太湖的蓝藻水华问题,首先要在太湖的外源污染控制方面取得突破.     

程海的环境问题及其管理对策探讨

程海水污染和富营养化程度日趋严重,ｐＨ值和氟化物浓度超过国家《地面水环境质量标准》Ｖ类,非离子氨和总磷浓度也较高,矿化度趋近咸水湖标准,湖水已达到富营养水平。然而,程海目前的水质仍主要由自然演化进程决定,ｐＨ值、氟化物和总磷浓度适宜分别控制在背景值９．１１￣９．３０之间、１．８８￣２．２３ｍｇ／Ｌ之间和０．０５８ｍｇ／Ｌ以下。程海是磷限制型,富营养化控制重点应放在入湖磷负荷上。目前程海最大的污染源     

Chemical speciation of metals in sediment elutriates

Surface sediments from two localities in Lake Ontario (Hamilton Harbour and Portsmouth Harbour in Kingston, Ontario) were elutriated with lake water. The distribution of chemical species of metals (Fe, Cu, Ni, Pb, Mn, Cd, and Zn) and nutrients (N and P) was investigated in the elutriates and in the lake water by using the computer program geochem and separation by Chelex 100 resin. The concentration of Mn in the water increased from 10^?6.44M to 10^?5.09M during the elutriation of Lake Ontario sediments. The concentrations of other investigated metals were smaller and different in each of the elutriates. Both methods, the calculations by geochem and the separation by Chelex 100, showed that only Mn was present in the four elutriates as a free ion. However, the chemical speciation of other metals by these two methods was only partially similar. All four sediments released significant quantities of NH₃ which was associated in the elutriates mainly with H. The pH of the lake water decreased from 8.4 to 7.5 during the elutriation.     

太湖五里湖底泥污染特性研究

五里湖是太湖污染最严重的水域。为对其治理提供依据,在该湖区设置了4个采样点,对底泥的表层样、柱状样、间隙水样和上覆水体作了重金属和营养盐分布测试,并作了数据统计分析。结果表明：以地积累指数评价,五里湖底泥的重金属污染程度为轻度,总体可达到《土壤环境质量标准》（GB15618-1995）三级标准,根据超出背景值的倍数分析,五里湖重金属含量顺序为Cu>Cd>Pb>Hg>As>Cr。重金属含量表层（0～5 cm）相对较低,第二层（5～10 cm）和第三层（10～20 cm）是主要的污染沉积层,这与底泥沉积特征是相对应的。表层底泥总氮、总磷和有机质含量较高并具有明显的相关性,相关系数介于0.757 6～0.862 2之间,显示了污染物质的同源性。表层底泥和间隙水中营养盐含量明显高于湖水,相对于湖水呈可释放状态,是湖体内源污染之一。     

江苏天目湖表层沉积物中多环芳烃污染特征与来源

区别于长江三角洲地区众多的大型天然浅水湖泊,江苏天目湖是一个较深的水库型湖泊,也是重要的城乡生活及工农业水源地之一。为了解天目湖表层沉积物中多环芳烃（PAHs）污染状况, 2006年在天目湖全湖采集7个点位的表层沉积物样品,利用GC/MS分析了16种优控PAHs。结果表明：天目湖表层沉积物中16种优控PAHs总量介于28750~71393 ng/g（干重）,平均值为45852 ng/g;在空间分布上,北部受污染程度高于南部,主要是北部旅游业快速发展导致污染物排放的影响;沉积物中总有机碳含量与PAHs总量呈显著相关;利用特征化合物指数对PAHs的来源进行判别,指示天目湖表层沉积物中PAHs的主要来源是木材、煤的不完全燃烧。与不同地区水体沉积物PAHs含量对比表明,天目湖PAHs污染处于一个低至中等程度。基于沉积物中多环芳烃的环境质量标准,仅有1个样点芴浓度超过风险效应低值,但远小于毒性风险效应中值,因此沉积物中多环芳烃的生态风险较小。然而天目湖表层沉积物中的PAHs的污染程度已超过南水北调东线所经过的南四湖,而且天目湖湖水较深,湖水交换周期比较长,其PAHs污染应引起重视,需制定切实措施保护江苏“最后一泓净水”。     

南四湖水质空间分布监测分析与水环境问题解析

南四湖作为南水北调东线工程重要的输水通道和调蓄湖泊,其水质状况一直受到人们的广泛关注。根据南四湖水质空间分布监测数据,按平均综合污染指数Pj>2的标准共筛选出29个重污染测点,其中有19个处于重污染河口外混合区,说明南四湖污染物主要来自于重污染河流;南四湖2006年秋和2007年春监测的总体平均综合污染指数分别为2.12和1.98,表明南四湖污染依然相当严重,而且秋季比春季水质更差,按湖区南阳湖、微山湖岛北、小北湖的水质最差,特别是南阳湖水质四项主要指标平均超标2倍以上。南四湖两次监测CODcr、TP、TN的单项污染分摊率平均值依次为30.6%、36.0%、33.4%,表明南四湖的主要污染物是TP、TN、CODcr。因此,在调整区域内重污染企业工业结构的同时,应实行管辖区内工业和城市生活等污水的深度处理和截蓄导用,严格执行水污染物排放标准和总量控制指标。     

太湖水质参数中小尺度空间结构特征

经济的发展和人们生活水平的提高，造成了太湖的富营养化和生态环境的严重破坏。太湖的水质污染目前已严重影响了整个流域的可持续发展，并对人们的身体健康造成潜在的危害。治理太湖、保护太湖已成为人们刻不容缓的任务。了解湖泊水质参数空间结构特征是进行太湖环境评价的重要前提，也是合理治理太湖的重要基础。地统计学的出现为精确描述湖泊水质参数空间结构提供了有效的工具。应用地统计学技术对太湖3种水质参数进行了空间结构分析，结果显示，污染物集中在湖岸线附近不易向湖中央扩散，各水质参数空间分布差异性较大，且空间结构特征极为相似，不同尺度之间有差异性。同时，由于采样密度和范围的限制，更细微和更大尺度的空间结构特征尚不能得以表述。最后，还讨论了太湖水质参数的空间结构变异性。     

Development of the Greening of Industrial Firms in the Cities along Taihu Lake： A Case Study in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province

Under the globalization, the coastal China becomes a hot area of the international manufacturing investment due to its priority location, excellent environment, lower labor and land costs, etc. However, the fast industrialization has aroused the great demolishment to the local ecological environment. For example, the heavy water eutrophication in Taihu Lake has affected the source of drinking water for the cities around the lake. Anyway, in order to keep the economic increase and reduce the resource ex- pense and pollution at the same time, it is necessary to encourage the greening of industrial enterprises actively for sustainable de- velopment. On the basis of the investigation of industrial enter- prises in Wuxi city within Taihu Basin, the relatively developed region in coastal China, this paper analyzed the development process of green industry. This article concluded that governmen- tal principal is the main pressure for enterprises to protect envi- ronment while the market factor plays a part role. Moreover, en- terprises in the high technology development zone work better in environmental protection than those in the villages and towns, while the large enterprises work better than those small enterprises.     

太湖流域湖泊水环境问题、成因与对策

综合分析了太湖流域存在的的湖泊水环境问题,主要表现为水质全面恶化、洪涝灾害加剧、湖泊生态系统与生物资源破坏和底质污染严重。造成湖泊水环境问题的自然因素与流域地势平缓、亚热带季风气候和地面沉降有关;人为因素如围垦、污水排入湖泊、过量使用农药化肥和湖泊淤积加剧了太湖流域水环境问题的发展。针对当前存在的湖泊水环境问题,提出湖泊水环境整治对策是：树立可持续发展观念,加强流域污染源的控制;重视湖泊水环境的科学研究;加强湖泊水环境水资源的规划与管理;因地制宜地实施湖泊水环境整治工程。     

退田还湖对鄱阳湖洪水调控能力的影响

利用实测资料统计了鄱阳湖近50年来湖盆形态和洪水水情的变化,表明由于围垦的作用,1954~1992年鄱阳湖面积共减小1 300 km2,容积共减少81×108 m3,调节系数从17.3%下降到13.7%,调洪能力降低20.8%;20世纪90年代与50年代相比,年最高水位平均值抬高1.80 m。计算了退田还湖对近50年来两次特大洪水（1954年洪水和1998年洪水）最高水位的效应值,表明分别可使1954年洪水和1998年洪水的最高水位降低0.72 m和0.68 m。估算了退田还湖对鄱阳湖洪水位频率的影响,表明50年一遇和100年一遇的洪水位分别可降低0.63 m和0.68 m。计算还表明,高水还湖（单退）降低洪水位的作用与圩区还湖前夕的内涝程度密切相关,说明及时排除圩区的内涝对保障退田还湖的防洪减灾作用至关重要。分析了退田还湖面临的主要问题,分别是高水还湖圩区的内涝问题和平垸行洪（双退）圩区的血防问题;探讨解决这两个问题的具体对策,分别为单退圩堤采用“限高加固,排空待蓄”的运作方式,双退圩堤采用“敞开进洪,兼顾血防”的运用方式。
