ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO THE FORMULATION OF BASIN HYDRAULIC GEOMETRY EQUATIONS1

ABSTRACT: Along a drainage network, there is a systematic variation of average flow parameters (width, depth, and velocity) at flows having the same flow duration. Hydraulic geometry equations mathematically express this interdependent relationship of stream-flow characteristics for a basin for annual flow durations varying from 10 to 90 percent. However, the equations proposed so far have had rather poor predictive performance for low flows. An independent investigation of the variation of discharge with drainage area and annual flow duration demonstrates a consistent relationship between these parameters. The relationship for the high to median-flow range differs, however, from that for the median— to low-flow range. The proposed equations provide a better predictive performance for low flows than previous formulations and a versatile means of estimating flow parameters for streams throughout a basin. The improved basin hydraulic geometry equations have a wide range of applications in areas such as stream habitat assessment, water quality modeling, channel design, and stream restoration projects.     

MODELING PERCOLATION LOSSES FROM A PONDED FIELD UNDER VARIABLE WATER-TABLE CONDITIONS1

ABSTRACT: A numerical simulation model was developed to predict the vertical and lateral percolation losses from a ponded agricultural field. The two-dimensional steady-state unsaturated/ saturated flow equation was solved using the finite-difference technique. A constant ponding depth was maintained at the soil surface with different water table conditions in an application of the model for rice fields bordered by bunds. Field experiments were conducted for two different water table depths to collect data on the spatial distribution of volumetric soil-moisture content for model verification. The measured soil-moisture content values were found to be in close agreement with those predicted by the model. The sensitivity analysis of the model with selected hydrologic conditions shows that the model is most sensitive to the values of saturated hydraulic conductivity, but relatively less sensitive to water table depth, ponding depth, and evaporation rate from the soil surface. It implies that, in a ponded rice field condition, the lateral and vertical percolation losses are mostly governed by the hydraulic conductivity of the soil. The vertical percolation losses were almost equal to the saturated hydraulic conductivity values and, in most cases, these losses increased with deeper water table depths. The lateral percolation losses also increased with deeper water table depths; however, these losses were relatively small in comparison to the vertical percolation losses. The vertical and lateral percolation losses increased with the increase in ponding depths. The lateral percolation losses through the bund decreased when the evaporation losses increased from the soil surface. The results of this study indicate that the percolation losses from a ponded field may be predicted accurately for a wide range of soil and hydrological conditions when the values of hydraulic conductivity, evaporation rate, depth of ponding, and water table depth are accurately known.

Impact of hydraulic loading on removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from vertical-flow wetland

The effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) removal on lab-simulated vertical wetland systems, each containing eight dominant species, under continuous- and intermittent-flow feeding modes, were determined. The main results were: (1) PAHs removal effect was greater in intermittent-flow system than in continuous-flow system, with the exception of the floating plant Hydrilla verticillata wetland. This may be due to pollutants remaining stable for longer duration under intermittent-flow mode, which is conducive to microbial, plant, and water absorption of PAHs, as well as to microbial decomposition and absorption by plant roots; (2) absorption and degradation rates of PAHs varied among wetland body plants in different periods with removal efficiencies of 30%–70% observed following the first and fifth cycles, and under high-performance degradation conditions; (3) mean removal rates of PAHs by hydrophytes under continuous-flow mode were as follows: H. verticillata (34.4%), Arundo donax (Gramineae) (33.2%), Phragmites australis (28.7%), Ipomoea aquatica Forsk (Convolvulaceae) (28.5%), Zizania aquatic (27.6%), Calla palustris (Araceae) (27.2%), Acorus calamus (26.8%), and Hardy canna (17.9%); (4) average rates of PAHs removal by hydrophyte under intermittent-flow mode were as follows: A. donax (40.5%), Z. aquatic (37.9%), A. calamus (37.0%), P. australis (36.9%), Hardy canna (34.6%), C. palustris (33.9%), I. aquatica (31.2%), and H. verticillata (29.3%).

控制低溶解氧实现亚硝化的稳定性

以A/O除磷工艺的二级出水为进水,通过低溶解氧控制,实现了亚硝酸盐的稳定积累.为研究系统的稳定性,从3个方面分别研究了总氮损失、水力停留时间(HRT)和回流比(R)对稳定亚硝化的影响.结果表明,系统的表观亚硝化率受COD浓度影响,COD≤50mg/L时,表观亚硝化率降低,COD50mg/L时,表观亚硝化率会增加;延长和缩短HRT都对稳定亚硝化存在正反两方面影响,应根据实际情况进行动态控制;提高回流比会增加破坏稳定亚硝化的风险,以较低回流比0.5为宜.另外,低溶解氧浓度不会降低系统的亚硝化效率,在HRT=6h,R=0.5,t为22～24℃条件下,平均氨氮去除率达83%,氨氮去除负荷为0.28kg/(kg·d),亚硝酸盐积累率接近100%.

人工湿地对二级出水中NH3-N、TP去除效果

在水力停留时间为1～7 d的条件下,研究石菖蒲、美人蕉、水芋、杜鹃、一叶兰和袖珍椰子等6种植物湿地系统在表面流情况下对二级出水中NH3-N、TP的去除效果.结果显示,6种植物湿地系统对二级出水中NH3-N、TP的去除效果存在差异,但随着水力停留时间的加长,各系统的总体变化趋势较为接近.分析认为,植物的吸收不是污水中N、P去除的主要原因,但植物的环境适应性对NH3-N的去除有一定影响.在中水回用的设计中,湿地植物的选择可以从美学角度出发,选择具有较强环境适应性的湿地或水生植物,以增加湿地系统的景观效果;同时在以二级出水为原水的表面流人工湿地设计中,水力停留时间不宜大于4 d.
