RESERVOIR WATER QUALITY SAMPLING DESIGN1

ABSTRACT: The design of monitoring programs often serves as one of the major sources of error or uncertainty in water quality data. Properly designed programs should minimize uncertainty or at least provide a means by which variability can be partitioned into recognizable components. While the design of sampling programs has received recent attention, commonly employed strategies for limnological sampling of lakes may not be completely appropriate for many reservoirs. Based on NES data, reservoirs are generally larger, deeper, and morphologically more complex than natural lakes. Reservoirs also receive a majority of their inflow from a single tributary located a considerable distance from the point of outflow. The result is the establishment of marked physical, biological, and chemical gradients from headwater to dam. The existence of horizontal as well as vertical gradients, and their importance in water quality sampling design were the subject of intensive transect sampling efforts at DeGray Lake, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir in southern Arkansas. Data collected were used to partition Variance, identify areas of similarity, and demonstrate how an equitable sampling program might be designed.     

ANALYSIS OF FIRM WATER SUPPLY UNDER COMPLEX INSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS1

River basin computer simulation studies often do not properly include the complex legal and institutional factors governing water allocation. These factors include formal water rights and informal borrowing agreements among the basin water users. An attempt has been made in this study to show that such factors can be included. We also show that an optimal, integrated approach to reservoir operations in a river basin can do much to alleviate the burden of new demands placed on available water resources. The procurement of a firm water supply for a proposed coal fired power plant is analyzed as a case study. An efficient river basin simulation model is used to determine the viability of a scheme for providing an annual firm water supply to the plant, with consideration of the existing water storage and demands within the basin. Given the hydrologic sequence considered, the model results show that the proposed strategy is viable in that the required firm water supply can be realized without causing harm to decreed water users in the basin. However, integrated diversion and reservoir operations are required to assure a desirable uniform rate of delivery of reusable effluent to the power plant.     

长江河口水库沉积物磷形态、吸附和释放特性

为了对长江河口青草沙水库沉积物磷形态分布、磷吸附特性和磷释放特性进行分析,2011年4月~2012年1月对沉积物进行实地调查分析.磷形态分析结果表明沉积物总磷含量范围为535.07~910.9 mg·kg-1,以无机磷为主,有机磷含量相对较低.无机磷主要以钙结合态的磷存在,钙结合态磷占总磷的75.57%.磷吸附特性结果表明沉积物磷的等温吸附特征符合修正的Langmuir模型,沉积物磷的最大吸附量为9.78~39.84 mg·kg-1,沉积物-水界面平衡浓度EPC0(equilibrium phosphorus concentration)范围为0.024~0.12 mg·L-1,均高于上覆水体中相应的磷含量,因此,沉积物有向上覆水体释放磷的趋势.磷的释放特性结果表明沉积物最大释放量为11.03 mg·kg-1,在6 h左右达到最大值.沉积物磷释放量来自沉积物的铁/锰结合态的磷、钙结合态磷和有机磷,其中,铁/锰结合态磷和沉积物释放量呈相关性(P0.01).总体上,青草沙水库沉积物呈现释放状态,影响水库水体磷含量.     

硝酸盐抑制油田采出水中硫酸盐还原菌活性研究

硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)的生长代谢可导致油藏酸化,进而引发一系列环境和腐蚀等问题.硝酸盐(NO-3)补加及对硝酸盐还原菌(NRB)的调控是抑制SRB活性进而控制油藏酸化的重要策略.本研究从大庆油田水驱采出液中分离筛选出了1株兼性自养的NRB菌株DNB-8,并分析了在有机碳源充足的条件下不同浓度的NO-3结合使用该菌株抑制SRB富集培养物SO2-4还原活性的作用效果与机制.结果表明,浓度≤1.0 mmol·L-1的NO-3无法抑制SRB的SO2-4还原活性;NO-3浓度>1.0mmol·L-1或NO-2浓度>0.45 mmol·L-1均可有效抑制SRB的SO2-4还原活性.此时,NRB对有机碳源的竞争以及在利用NO-3的同时产生的NO-2是抑制SRB活性的主要机制.另外,大庆油田采出水中SRB富集培养物的细胞内存在异化NO-3还原生成NH+4的代谢途径(NO-2为中间产物).当NO-3浓度较高时,SRB可能通过该代谢途径减轻NO-2引起的抑制效应.     

Spatial and temporal variations of two cyanobacteria in the mesotrophic Miyun reservoir, China

Spatial variations in phytoplankton community within a large mesotrophic reservoir （Miyun reservoir, North China） were investigated in relation to variations in physico-chemical properties, nutrient concentrations, temperature and light conditions over a 5 month period in 2009. The dynamics of phytoplankton community was represented by the dominance of cyanobacteria through summer and fall, following with a short term dominance of chlorophyta in late fall, and a relatively high abundance of diatom in October; on the other hand, maximum phytoplankton biomass was recorded in the north shallow region of Miyun reservoir with a higher nutrients level. Particular attention was paid to the impacts of environmental conditions on the growth of two cyanobacteria genera, the toxin-producing Microcystis and the taste ＆ odor-producing Oscillatoria. Microcystis biomass was in general greatly affected by water temperature and mixing depth/local water depth ratio in this reservoir, while the Oscillatoria biomass in the surface and middle layers was greatly affected by total dissolved phosphorus, and that in the bottom layer was related with the Secchi depth/local water depth ratio. Abundant Oscillatoria biomass was observed only in late September when Microcystis biomass decreased and allowed sufficient light go through.     

油藏封存CO_2后扩散逃逸数学模型及实例应用

利用油藏封存CO_2是缓解温室效应的重要途径,CO_2扩散逃逸在整个封存体内广泛存在,因此有必要研究扩散逃逸对封存效果的破坏强度。通过理论分析,建立了能够描述油藏封存CO_2后扩散逃逸行为的物理模型和数学模型。结果表明:示范区在1万年累计逃逸量为0.178×104t,1万年累计逃逸量和封存量比值为0.067%,需要1470万年CO_2才能全部逃逸,扩散逃逸对封存破坏甚微。研究结果为CO_2封存效果评价提供了新指标,也为盆地级封存体扩散逃逸量计算提供了方法。     

唐山陡河水库沉积物汞的分布、来源及污染评价

为弄清陡河燃煤电厂大气汞沉降对毗邻的陡河水库沉积物中总汞、甲基汞的贡献及其污染程度,于2013年8月对陡河水库沉积物进行了采样,测定了沉积物中总汞、甲基汞、有机质以及孔隙水中溶解态汞含量等参数,运用地累积指数法评价了陡河水库沉积物的汞污染现状和污染程度.结果表明,陡河水库沉积物中总汞含量(dw)范围为19~97 ng·g~(-1),甲基汞含量(dw)范围为0.02~1.27 ng·g~(-1),均表现为表层高于底层,说明陡河水库沉积物的汞含量正逐年升高,外源汞输入对陡河沉积物负荷产生了一定的影响.受电厂大气汞干湿沉降影响,陡河水库周边土壤汞含量(dw)平均值为22 ng·g~(-1),而陡河水库3个沉积物柱库心总汞含量最高,其次为西支,东支最低.结合上游大黑汀水库较高的沉积物汞含量(总汞平均值为176 ng·g~(-1)),以及陡河水库附近较低的土壤汞含量,初步判断陡河水库沉积物中汞的主要来源为大黑汀水库的高汞水源输入,电厂汞沉积输入贡献相对较小.陡河沉积物总汞、甲基汞与有机质之间均呈显著的正相关关系,表明沉积物中有机质具有较好的吸附总汞和甲基汞的能力,并对甲基汞产生具有重要作用.地累积指数Igeo的评价结果表明,陡河水库各点位沉积物的汞污染程度依次为库心西支东支,库心和西支属于中度污染,东支属于轻微污染.大黑汀水库受周边采矿企业影响,两个采样点沉积物的地累积指数污染评价属于中强污染和强污染.     

水位变化对消落带氨氧化微生物丰度和多样性的影响

南水北调来水进入密云水库将直接引起水库水位上涨,这必将影响消落带土壤中氨氧化微生物的丰度和多样性,从而影响消落带中氮循环过程.采用分子生物学方法,探讨了水位变化对消落带氨氧化细菌(AOB)和古菌(AOA)的生物多样性和丰度的影响.Real-time PCR结果显示,2015年9月消落带岸上/水陆界面土壤和沉积物中AOA和AOB的丰度范围分别为1.00×10~7~3.91×10~7copies·g~(-1)和5.49×10~6~9.77×10~6copies·g~(-1).2015年11月水位比9月上升3 m,淹没区土壤/沉积物中AOA和AOB的丰度范围分别为5.80×106~1.56×10~7copies·g~(-1)和2.14×10~6~4.40×106copies·g~(-1),比被淹没前有所下降,但AOA的丰度始终高于AOB,说明AOA比AOB更适合在低氨氮的消落带环境中生长,并且更能适应低氧环境.水位上升3 m后,水陆交界面土壤中AOA和AOB的多样性均有所增加,而在沉积物中多样性减少.水位上涨之前,AOA大多数OTU属于Nitrososphaera、Nitrosopumilus,而水位上涨之后,大多数OTU归属于土壤簇Nitrososphaera,即在低氧消落带环境中土壤簇Nitrososphaera为优势AOA菌.对于AOB,水陆交界面土壤和沉积物中Nitrosopira和Nitrosomonas分别在氨氧化过程中发挥作用.     

低分子有机酸对三峡库区沉积物吸附Pb2+影响研究

以长江三峡库区万州段消落带区的沉积物为研究对象,通过等温吸附平衡实验研究不同浓度的柠檬酸、草酸对沉积物吸附Pb2+的影响.实验结果表明:消落带沉积物对Pb2+的吸附量随着Pb2+离子平衡浓度的增加而增大,Pb2+平衡浓度在0.08～80 mg/L时,其最大吸附量为8 762.00 mg/Kg.不同浓度的柠檬酸、草酸会在不同程度上抑制沉积物对Pb2+吸附,2 mmol/L柠檬酸对沉积物吸附Pb2+的能力是浓度为4 mmol/L时的1.12倍,草酸条件下为1.02倍.即高浓度的低分子有机酸抑制消落带沉积物对Pb2+的吸附.     

丹江口库区覆膜耕作土壤氮素淋失随夏玉米生长期的变化

土壤氮素淋失是农业非点源污染的重要形式,也是水源地水质恶化的重要原因.以丹江口库区五龙池小流域为研究区,以农田黄棕壤种植夏玉米为例进行田间氮素淋失实验,通过与无覆膜耕作进行对比,研究覆膜耕作条件下土壤氮素淋失随玉米生长期的变化.结果表明,覆膜耕作土壤TN和NO_3~--N淋失量均明显低于无覆膜耕作,分别低25.68%和20.25%.夏玉米生长期内,覆膜土壤TN淋失量表现为苗期最高,拔节期和抽穗期显著降低,成熟期略微升高的变化趋势;覆膜土壤NO_3~--N淋失量表现为在苗期最高,拔节期显著降低,随后缓慢降低的变化过程;覆膜土壤NH_4~+-N淋失量表现为在苗期较低,拔节期升至峰值,抽穗期降至谷值,成熟期显著升高的变化特征.覆膜土壤TN和NO_3~--N淋失量分别与土壤中TN和NO_3~--N含量之间呈线性函数和指数函数关系;与土壤含水量和降雨量之间呈线性函数关系.上述结果表明,覆膜能降低土壤中氮素的淋失量,将对减少库区农业非点源污染具有明显的作用.
