温州城市降雨径流中BOD5和COD污染特征及其初始冲刷效应

为研究温州降雨径流污染情况,监测了温州2个采样区4场较为典型的降雨过程,测定了不同下垫面径流中BOD5和COD的浓度,并且计算出污染物的EMC值、M(V)曲线和BOD5/COD值等.结果表明,温州城市降雨径流中BOD5和COD的含量分别介于ND～69.21 mg.L-1和ND～636 mg.L-1之间,不同城市下垫面径流中BOD5和COD的含量均随着降雨历时的延长而呈下降趋势,处理初期径流水样对减少耗氧性有机污染具有重要意义.从COD和BOD5的EMC值来判断,部分城市下垫面降雨径流中污染物浓度超出地表五类水标准,甚至高于污水排放二级标准,此类降雨径流若直接入河将对下级受纳水体造成耗氧性有机污染的压力.根据M(V)累积曲线判断,COD初期冲刷效应在城市降雨径流中是较为普遍的,城市降雨径流中的BOD5表现出与COD类似的初始冲刷情况,该结果亦表明径流初期耗氧性有机污染严重.城市降雨径流中COD和BOD5的浓度受下垫面类型和降雨条件的影响,而BOD5/COD指标的变化特征则指出生物降解是削减有机污染负荷的有效途径之一,但不同下垫面径流有机污染的治理工作应采用不同的最佳管理方案(BMPs).     

城市不同下垫面径流中PAHs污染特征及源辨析

选取温州典型不透水地面类型小区路面、停车场、汇流口、小区屋面及交通干道,采集径流样品,研究了夏季常见雨型条件下不同下垫面径流中PAHs的污染特征,并对其中的PAHs来源进行了分析.结果表明,初期有较大雨强的雨型对交通干道及停车场径流中PAHs冲刷更加明显;径流中PAHs在颗粒相/水相间的分配系数随着颗粒物的增加而降低,这可能跟径流中颗粒物组成有关;运用因子分析和多元回归方法解析可以看出,不同下垫面径流中PAHs的来源:主要集中在煤、石油等的不完全燃烧\石油类泄漏\炼焦等因素,各源在径流中贡献率存在差异;BaA/CHR比值大部分＞0.6,显示径流中PAHs主要来源于本地污染源,但初期径流中比值较低,说明大气沉降对本地PAHs污染也有一定贡献.     

洪水径流系数的尺度效应研究

洪水径流系数是表征降雨径流过程的一个重要参数,以往对径流系数的尺度效应基本上是在坡面或者小流域上进行观测或试验。通过统计滦河流域6个中大尺度子流域汛期的暴雨洪水过程,计算了各场暴雨洪水的径流系数,发现径流系数随着流域面积的增大而减小,并分析了产生这种趋势的原因。结果表明,降雨空间分布不均匀性、单位面积地下径流出流能力及下渗都能引起径流系数的尺度效应。认识径流系数的尺度效应,对于研制开发不同尺度的、具有物理机制的流域水文模型,防洪减灾具有一定的指导意义。     

流域土地利用变化对洪水径流过程的影响

大清河水系土地利用发生了较大变化,并对洪水径流过程产生了影响。选择大清河水系紫荆关流域为研究对象,在对土地利用类型分类的基础上,采用1988年和1996年两期土地利用图分析了土地利用变化情况,除林地和灌木林面积减少外,其他土地利用类型面积增加。利用1984-1996年实测降雨径流资料对SWAT模型进行了率定和验证,并对两期土地利用情况进行了径流模拟,结果表明,土地利用变化使紫荆关流域的年径流减少。     

强化浅基质层干植草沟对道路径流的脱氮效果

搭建6个不同结构和介质组成的浅基质层干植草沟模拟柱,在基质层添加较多发酵木屑,利用进水期的脱氮作用,并设置饱水层提高设施落干期脱氮能力,从而强化设施全周期脱氮效果.以半人工道路径流作为进水,考察各模拟柱运行效果,并结合分层取样水质检测结果和模拟柱内体积含水率、ORP的变化过程,分析氮素在不同模拟柱内的去除机制.结果表明:在运行参数相对实际应用环境更为不利的条件下,设置饱水层的模拟柱的TN去除率在67%～78%; TN去除过程主要发生在进水期,且在含较多发酵木屑的基质层即被大量去除;设置饱水层不仅可提高落干期设施脱氮能力,还可保证较浅的基质层在进水期快速达到适宜反硝化的缺氧条件,从而保证进水期设施的脱氮效果;设置持水性过渡层并在其中放置有机质可以有效平衡饱水层碳源补给并控制有机质淋失的问题.

GRAZED STUBBLE HEIGHT AS A CRITERION FOR CONTROLLING SEDIMENT PRODUCTION FROM GRAZING LANDS1

ABSTRACT: Efforts by state and federal agencies to develop standards and guidelines for protecting and enhancing water quality on grazing lands have led to suggestions that grazed stubble height criteria could be used to determine when cattle should be removed from a specific pasture or grazing area. Until recently only indirect scientific evidence from agronomy and laboratory studies gave support to the stubble height concept. Consequently, a grazing study was initiated on a Montana ranch in 1997 to determine the reduction in overland sediment achieved by grazing a pasture to a predetermined stubble height. Treatments consisted of 7 cm (3 in) grazed, 7 cm (3 in) clipped or mowed, 15 cm (6 in) grazed; 15 cm (6 in) clipped and untreated or natural forage plant height. The five treatments were used in a two‐year trial spanning 1997 to 1999. At the conclusion of this study the magnitude of sediment production was related to the number of intense rain events during the March through June period rather than total precipitation. There was a significant year effect in terms of sediment accumulation (P < 0.01) but no year by treatment effect (P = 0.11). Even though a significant difference in sediment accumulation was detected between the shorter and taller stubble heights (P = 0.04) in both 1998 and 1999, the difference could not be explained by grazed stubble height alone. Close grazing (7 cm stubble) consistently ranked lowest in sediment production (P < 0.01) among all treatments, including the ungrazed control. These results suggest that changes in plant community structure and microtopographic caused by grazing influence sediment entrapment (retention) on hillslopes more than those caused by plant height.     

DETERMINING RAINS OF HYDROLOGIC CONSEQUENCE IN CHICAGO FOR FORECASTING APPLICATIONS1

ABSTRACT: Accurate forecasting of heavy rainstorms that affect the Chicago Metropolitan area and lead to the undesirable release of storm runoff into Lake Michigan is a major objective. These releases (overflows) were found to be produced by storm events yielding 2 inches or more in a few hours, although only 24 percent of such ≥ 2-inch storms in the area during 1948-1981 produced overflows. Failure to forecast properly or to be able to react to these 2-inch overflow producing events has occurred most often in the spring and fall, although relatively often in June and July in recent years. These overflows have exhibited an inexplicable trebling during 1972-1981 without an increase in ≥ 2-inch storm events. This type of troublesome storm can be reliably predicted, using a recently developed radar man forecast system for the Chicago area.     

DISCHARGE AND SUSPENDED SEDIMENT PATTERNS OF AN INTERMITTENT COLD DESERT STREAM1

Sage Creek in south‐central Wyoming is listed as impaired by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) due to its sediment contribution to the North Platte River. Despite the magnitude of sediment impacts on streams, little research has been conducted to characterize patterns of sediment transport or to model suspended sediment concentration in many arid western U.S. streams. This study examined the relationship between stream discharge and suspended sediment concentration near the Sage Creek and North Platte River confluence from 1998 through 2003. The objectives were to determine patterns of stream discharge and suspended sediment concentration, produce a sediment prediction model, and compare sediment concentrations for the six‐year period. Stream discharge and suspended sediment transport responded rapidly to convective storms and spring runoff events. During the study period, events exceeding 0.23 m³/s accounted for 92 percent of the sediment load, which is believed to originate from erodible headwater uplands. Further analysis of these data indicates that time series modeling is superior to simple linear regression in predicting sediment concentration. Significant increases in suspended sediment concentration occurred in all years except 2003. This analysis suggests that a six‐year monitoring record was insufficient to factor out impacts from climate, geology, and historical sediment storage.     

SIMPLE MEASUREMENTS OF SOIL SURFACE MICRORELIEF CHARACTERISTICS1

ABSTRACT: Soil surface roughness and the topographic orientation of microrelief influence runoff and water storage. Distances measured following the surface of the microrelief and horizontally across the area with the microrelief can be used with the number of microridges or microhills to estimate the average cross-sectional areas of the depression, the microslope angles, and crest heights. Microridge sideslope angles which effect the rate of runoff were estimated reasonably well in field plots by the method.
