Seasonal and Flood‐Induced Variations in Groundwater–Surface Water Exchange in a Northern Coldwater Fishery

Groundwater upwelling is important to coldwater fisheries survival. This study used stable isotopes to identify upwelling zones within a watershed, then combined isotope analyses with reach‐scale monitoring to measure surface water–groundwater exchange over time. Research focused on Amity Creek, Minnesota, a basin that exemplifies conditions limiting coldwater species survival along Lake Superior's North Shore where shallow bedrock limits groundwater capacity, lowering baseflows and increasing temperatures. Groundwater‐fed reaches were identified through synoptic isotope sampling, with results highlighting the importance of isolated shallow surficial aquifers (glacially derived sands and gravels) for providing cold baseflow waters. In an alluvial reach, monitoring well results show groundwater was stored in two reservoirs: one that reacts quickly to changes in stream levels, and one that remained isotopically isolated under most flow conditions, but which helps sustain summer baseflows for weeks to months. A 500‐year flood demonstrated the capacity of high‐flow events to alter surface water–groundwater connectivity. The previously isolated reservoir was exchanged or mixed during the flood pulse, while incision lowered the water table for years. The results here provide insight for streams that lack substantial groundwater inputs yet maintain coldwater species at risk in a warming climate and an approach for managers seeking to protect cold baseflow sources.     

Optimization of parameters on photocatalytic degradation of chloramphenicol using TiO2 as photocatalyist by response surface methodology

The experimental design methodology was applied for modeling and optimizing the operation parameters on photocatalytic degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP) using TiO2 as photocatalyst in a photoreactor. Three experimental parameters (including pH, TiO2 concentration and CAP initial concentration) were adopted to obtain the preliminary information. The multivariate experimental design was employed to establish a quadratic model as a functional relationship between the degradation rate of CAP and three experimental parameters. The interaction e ects and optimal parameters were obtained by using Design Expert software. The optimal values of the operation parameters under the related constraint conditions were found at pH 6.4, TiO2 concentration of 0.94 g/L and CAP initial concentration of 19.97 mg/L, respectively. The degradation rate of CAP approached 85.97% under optimal conditions. The regression analysis with R2 value of 0.9519 had a good agreement between the experimental results and the predictive values. In addition, pH and TiO2 concentration had a significant influence on the degradation rate of CAP.     

表面覆膜多层复合纤维滤料过滤性能的数值研究

根据Matlab软件和数值计算前处理软件Gambit中的Journal文件建立了多层复合纤维滤料模型,利用计算流体动力学(CFD)技术对沿气流方向具有不同纤维填充密度及直径分布的滤料内部的气-固两相流动特性进行了数值研究,计算了不同运行条件下滤料的压力损失及过滤效率,并将数值计算值和经典模型及实验关联式的计算值进行了比较.结果表明,压力损失的数值计算预测值和实验关联式计算值吻合较好,误差在2%以内.随着迎面风速的增加,压力损失呈线性增加.相对于填充密度,纤维直径对压力损失和过滤效率的影响更显著.不同结构滤料过滤效率的数值计算结果和理论模型的计算值变化趋势基本一致.不同迎面风速下,过滤效率都是先减小后增大,对于颗粒直径dp≤0.05μm的颗粒,随着风速的增大,过滤效率减小;对于dp≥0.5μm的颗粒,过滤效率变化趋势正好相反.迎面风速不同,过滤效率最低点出现的位置也不同.对于小颗粒,风速越小,扩散作用起主导作用;而对于大颗粒,风速越大,惯性作用越明显.过滤效率最低点出现在扩散作用逐渐弱化,惯性作用刚刚开始加强的区域.多层复合滤料在结构上采用纤维直径逐层加大的梯次结构时,能够获得较高的过滤效率.而在多层复合滤料表面覆膜后过滤效率平均增加约13%.     

Conceptual Framework of Connectivity for a National Agroecosystem Model Based on Transport Processes and Management Practices

There is a critical need for a national agroecosystem model for conservation policy and environmental planning, driven by issues including harmful algal blooms, water scarcity, flooding, and other weather‐related extremes. In this study, we illustrate the feasibility of a national agroecosystem model that will downscale processes to individual fields and first‐order channels. We propose to conceptually divide the conterminous United States (U.S.) into process domains as a framework for simulating processes and management at relevant scales. Specifically, we are proposing five domains: field (1–50 ha), transition (0.2–2.0 km²), headwater (1–15 km²), tributaries (15–150 km²), and main river (>150 km²). The proposed conceptual framework hydrologically connects fields across the U.S. using the National Hydrography Dataset (NHDPlus version 2). Parameterizing the Soil and Water Assessment Tool for the national agroecosystem model resulted in 4,880,000 agricultural fields, 2,250,000 non‐agricultural hydrologic response units, and 7,130,000 transition, 1,610,000 headwater, 591,000 tributary, and 432,400 main channels. Application of this framework was shown for Hydrologic Unit Code 07120002 in central Illinois and Indiana to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach using data that is readily available across the U.S. The new connectivity framework has the potential to dramatically improve national conservation and environmental assessments performed by U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

以苏南某电镀厂下游地表水和浅层地下水为研究对象,探讨电镀厂废水对其造成的影响,采用ICP-AES分析了地表水与地下水样品中重金属Zn、Mn、Cr、Cu和Ni的含量.结果表明,电镀厂向河流中排放Zn、Mn、Cr、Cu和Ni等酸性污染物,浓度分别达到1.34、3.77、28.1、6.40和9.37 mg·L-1,pH为2.32,除Zn外皆超过国家污水综合排放标准,是构成下游河流中重金属沿程分布的主要原因.重金属在井水中的分布特征,未能说明其受到河水重金属的影响,表明重金属在土壤中迁移率较低.风险评价结果显示,地表水水质明显下降,河水中Ni和Mn超标严重,Cr和Cu也有部分样点不同程度地超过Ⅲ类标准限值.以14口井水为地下水中,除Mn元素有4个样点属于Ⅳ类地下水之外,其它重金属皆达到生活饮用水标准.
