江湖洪水不同遭遇对城陵矶水位影响的实验研究

城陵矶位于长江干流和洞庭湖出流汇合处,因此影响城陵矶洪水位的因素除了河床淤积、洪水特性等以外,洞庭湖出流与长江干流的不同遭遇也起着非常重要的作用。采用模型实验的方法,研究了不同遭遇、不同流量、不同螺山水位下城陵矶河段水位的变化。结果表明：在城陵矶断面,当监利来水流量超过洞庭湖出流时,主流靠左岸;当监利来水流量少于洞庭湖出流时,主流靠右岸。洞庭湖出流与长江干流来水流量的不同遭遇对城陵矶断面水位的影响非常显著。当监利来水流量占螺山流量的百分比为55 %左右时,城陵矶断面水位最高,即此时长江干流来水流量和洞庭湖出流相互之间顶托消耗能量达到最大值。在中水流量下,当监利来水流量占螺山流量的百分比为55 %左右时,城陵矶断面左右岸水位差达到最小值。     

洞庭湖区农业环境与湖垸农业可持续发展模式

围湖垦殖形成了洞庭湖区湖垸农业形式,湖垸农业的形成加速了湖区人口的增长,人口的压力也促进了围垦。不断的围湖垦殖使耕地面积迅速增加。由于湖泊面积减少,湖垸农业处于外洪内涝的环境中。归纳了洞庭湖区的农业环境问题：洪涝灾害发生频率加大;水面减少,生物多样性降低;环境污染严重,湿地生态功能衰退;土壤退化和潜育化严重;血吸虫病死灰复燃等。结合已有经验,提出了湖垸农业可持续发展模式：认真实施生态保护工程,减少泥沙淤积;调整湖垸农业结构,建立可持续发展生态农业模式：避灾、减灾模式、水生经济植物模式、工业原料作物模式、林农复合经营模式、湖洲草地草食畜禽模式、麻基（油菜）渔塘农业模式等。     

Trauma and short-fuse weather warning perceptions

The purpose of this research was to assess the importance of psychological trauma in understanding reactions to short lead time weather warnings. The research consisted of two case studies, one in Denver, Colorado and the other in Austin, Texas. A total of 61 individuals with 9 or greater traumas were compared to 281 non-trauma exposed individuals. Results demonstrated significant differences on questions related to general beliefs about flash floods and warning perceptions as well as reported anticipated actions during a flash flood at home. Results suggest high trauma exposure may lead to more threat sensitivity and a higher probability of initiated action in a home-based flash flood.     

Land use/cover change effects on floods with different return periods: a case study of Beijing, China

In this study, an approach integrating digital land use/cover change (LUCC) analysis, hydraulic modeling and statistical methods was applied to quantify the effect of LUCC on floods in terms of inundation extent, flood arrival time and maximum water depth. The study took Beijing as an example and analyzed five specific floods with return periods of 20-year, 50-year, 100-year, 1000-year and 10000-year on the basis of LUCC over a nine-year period from 1996 to 2004. The analysis reveals that 1) during the period of analysis Beijing experienced unprecedented LUCC; 2) LUCC can affect inundation extent and flood arrival time, and floods with longer return periods are more influenced; 3) LUCC can affect maximum water depth and floods with shorter return periods are more influenced; and 4) LUCC is a major flood security stressor for Beijing. It warns that those cities having experienced rapid expansion during recent decades in China are in danger of more serious floods and recommends that their actual land use patterns should be carefully assessed considering flood security. This integrated approach is demonstrated to be a useful tool for joint assessment, planning and management of land and water.     

东北三省农作物洪涝时空风险评估

仅考虑空间差异的灾害风险评估已经满足不了灾害风险管理向精细化方向发展的要求,增加时间维度的时空风险评估分析有利于增强风险评估结果,对提升风险管理的准确性与针对性起着重要的作用.以东北三省为研究区,在气象数据、地形数据、农作物灾情数据和种植面积数据的支撑下,以县和月为单位的时空两个维度开展农作物洪涝时空风险评估研究.在方法上,采用反距离权重法(IDW),利用与县行政区最临近的3个气象站点的日降雨数据插值出县级行政区的日降雨数据;利用二元回归建立农作物洪涝受灾率与过程降雨量、县平均高程之间的农作物洪涝脆弱性函数;分县分月提取过程降雨量,构建非参数核密度的信息扩散模型拟合降雨量的概率分布;综合概率分布与脆弱性函数,计算出分县分月的农作物洪涝条件期望受灾率,实现风险时空差异表达.最后,制作出东北三省县级尺度下4至9月的农作物洪涝风险差异图,并对风险时空差异规律进行分析.     

Social capital's role in recovery: evidence from communities affected by the 2010 Pakistan floods

Pakistan suffered large‐scale flooding in summer 2010 that caused damage amounting to approximately USD 43 billion, claimed the lives of at least 1,700 people, and negatively affected some 20 million others. Observers have debated the degree to which social capital plays a role in recovery after a catastrophe of this magnitude. Using new survey data on 450 residents impacted by the disaster, this study found that, controlling for various confounding factors, the social capital levels of victims serve as robust correlates of life recovery. Other important variables connected with recovery include education and income, family size, occupation, material damage suffered, stability of home, and trauma experience. The findings point to a number of relevant policy recommendations, most notably that during and following major shocks, disaster managers should work to keep the social networks of victims intact so that they can benefit from interaction with family, friends, and neighbours.     

The Oder – a river that floods: the problem of environmental adaptation in literary texts

This article discusses inter and post-war works of fiction written by Polish and German-speaking authors with biographical connections to Oder River regions. The literary texts provide insights into the vulnerability to and resilience constructions of floods, which are related to such cultural factors as migrant histories and traditions, regional beliefs and religion, and the political background of changing frontiers in 1919 and 1945 that affected residents of this cross-border area.

The capacity to cope with the flooding Oder, especially after the major flood in 1997, intertwines with the problematic Polish-German relationship, including Silesia. For Polish communities, whose environmental cultures have been distorted by wars, resettlement and communism, vulnerability and resilience perceptions lack representations of the tangible river. It is culturally bounded in the stigmatising image of the Oder as the border of division, revived after 1945 and exposed by the Polish communist party in the so-called ‘Polonisation’ of the ‘Recovered Territories’. Fiction detects the problem of overworking the difficult past in response to the Oder’s hazardous nature. Writers representing an emotional attachment to the river and an aquacritical approach express the need to learn about the river’s lively nature, both in cooperating and sharing space, which is called the environmental adaptation.

ACCUMULATION OF AS,NI, CU,AND PB IN RETENTION AND RECHARGE BASINS SOILS FROM URBAN RUNOFF1

ABSTRACT: The accumulation of arsenic, nickel, copper, and lead in the soil profile was determined beneath five urban storm-water retention/recharge basins used by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, California. Soils were sampled from the surface to the first zone of saturation and compared with soils from an adjacent un-contaminated control site. These elements were found to be accumulating in the first few centimeters of basin soil and are important to the effectiveness of a specific best management practice, i.e., the retention and recharge of urban storm water. Study basins in use since 1962, 1965, and 1969 had lead contents in the 0–2 cm soil depth interval‘of 570, 670, and 1400 mg Pb/kg soil, respectively. The median indigenous soil lead concentration was 4.6 mg/kg soil. The practice of removing excess flood runoff water from two basins by pumping apparently is a factor in reducing the accumulation rate of these elements in the surface soils of the basins.
