Multiple linear regression models of urban runoff pollutant load and event mean concentration considering rainfall variables

Rainfall is an important factor in estimating the event mean concentration (EMC) which is used to quantify the washed-off pollutant concentrations from non-point sources (NPSs). Pollutant loads could also be calculated using rainfall, catchment area and runoff coefficient. In this study, runoff quantity and quality data gathered from a 28-month monitoring conducted on the road and parking lot sites in Korea were evaluated using multiple linear regression (MLR) to develop equations for estimating pollutant loads and EMCs as a function of rainfall variables. The results revealed that total event rainfall and average rainfall intensity are possible predictors of pollutant loads. Overall, the models are indicators of the high uncertainties of NPSs; perhaps estimation of EMCs and loads could be accurately obtained by means of water quality sampling or a long term monitoring is needed to gather more data that can be used for the development of estimation models.     

Runoff Storage Potential of Drained Upland Depressions on the Des Moines Lobe of Iowa

We present estimates of the volumetric storage capacities of currently drained upland depressions and catchment depressional specific storage and runoff storage indices for the Des Moines Lobe of Iowa (DML‐IA) subregion of the Prairie Pothole Region of North America. Storage capacities were determined using hydrologically enforced Light Detection and Ranging‐derived digital elevation models, and a unique geoprocessing algorithm. Depressional specific storage was estimated for each 12‐digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC12) watershed in the region from total catchment‐specific depressional storage volume and catchment area. Runoff storage indices were calculated using catchment depressional specific storage values and estimates of the amount of rainfall likely to fall within each watershed during sub‐annual and 1‐, 2‐, 5‐, and 10‐year 24‐h events. The 173,171 identified drained depressions in the DML‐IA can store up to 903.5 Mm³ of runoff. Most of this capacity is in depressions located in the north of the region. Specific storage varies from nearly 109 mm in the younger landscapes to <10 mm in older more eroded areas. For 95% of the HUC12 watersheds comprising the region, depressional storage will likely be exhausted by rainfall‐derived runoff in excess of a 1‐year 24‐h event. Rainfall amounts greater than a 5‐year 24‐h event will exceed all available depressional storage. Therefore, the capacity of drained depressions in the DML‐IA to mitigate flooding resulting from infrequent, but large, storm events is limited.     

增大库水位日降幅联合降雨条件下张家祠堂滑坡稳定性分析

库水位下降对滑坡的稳定性变化有重要影响。以张家祠堂滑坡为例,利用Geo-studio软件的Seep/W模块和Slope/W模块分别对滑坡渗流场和稳定性进行数值模拟计算,分析降雨和不同库水位下降速率对该滑坡稳定性的影响规律,并结合滑坡变形的调查情况和数值模拟计算结果对该滑坡进行稳定性预测与评价。结果表明:张家祠堂滑坡为降雨型滑坡,相对于降雨,增大库水位日降幅对滑坡稳定性影响非常有限;预测在非汛期增大库水位日降幅条件下,滑坡整体基本稳定;滑坡在中前部虽有变形,但滑坡整体并未形成连续贯通的软弱面,因此该滑坡目前为基本稳定;滑坡在最危险工况(库水位日降幅1.2m/d+降雨)下的稳定性系数为1.154,滑坡处于基本稳定状态。     

COMPARISON OF DESIGN STORM CONCEPTS USING CONTINUOUS SIMULATION WITH SHORT DURATION STORMS1

ABSTRACT: The objectives of this paper were to test the ability of various design storm distributions to simulate the actual rainfall pattern and to compare the runoff rates used in the design of stormwater management devices in the State of Florida using continuous simulation approach. The analyses were performed for four gaged stations to evaluate the applicability of design storm distributions in different parts of the State of Florida. The approach used in this study compared the peak runoff rates from design storms based on the various distributions to those that would result from actual rainfall events. A series of continuous runoff rates were developed through the use of actual fifteen-minute recorded rainfall data, Horton type infiltration decay and recovery rate, and a continuous simulation model. The runoff rates were analyzed using frequency distributions to obtain peak runoff rates associated with different return periods based on the assumption that the continuous simulation approach closely predicts the actual runoff rates from the gaged stations. The results show that the behavior of the design storm distributions varies for different watershed characteristics in different parts of the state. The study also suggests that in general the Florida Department of Transportation and the Suwanne River Water Management (FDOT/ SRWMD) distributions appeared to agree with the continuous simulation results.

基于降雨事件监测的非点源污染对灞河水质的影响

在对灞河马渡王水文站断面5次降雨事件过程和2次非洪水过程监测的基础上,分析了灞河流域非点源污染对灞河水质的影响.结果表明:降雨过程期间,COD、总氮、氨氮、硝氮、亚硝氮、总磷指标监测平均值均小于非洪水期监测平均值.各指标负荷输移速率随时间的变化趋势和径流量变化趋势大体相同,即先逐渐增大达到峰值,再逐渐变小;各指标浓度随时间的变化规律大致为:COD、硝氮、总氮浓度先增大后减小;亚硝氮为先减小后增大,总磷的变化规律不明显.总氮、硝氮的浓度峰和负荷输移速率峰均接近或滞后于流量峰;COD的浓度峰接近或滞后于流量峰,而负荷输移速率峰接近或超前于流量峰;总磷、氨氮的浓度峰和负荷输移速率峰均接近或超前于流量峰;而亚硝氮的浓度峰变化规律不明显,负荷输移速率峰接近或超前于流量峰.采用平均浓度法计算了各指标的非点源污染平均浓度及负荷:2009年灞河流域马渡王断面COD、总氮、氨氮、总磷的非点源污染负荷分别为8707.28,723.63,245.52,43.07t.2009年灞河流域马渡王断面NSP负荷COD、总氮、氨氮、总磷所占总负荷相应的比例分别为31.86%、32.69%、42.21%、34.42%.由此可见,非点源污染在灞河水污染中占有较大比重,其对于灞河水质的影响不容忽视.
