Factors Affecting Sediment Oxygen Demand Dynamics in Blackwater Streams of Georgia’s Coastal Plain1

Abstract: Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) is believed to be an important process affecting dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in blackwater streams of the southeastern coastal plain. Because very few data on SOD are available, it is common for modelers to take SOD values from the literature for use with DO models. In this study, SOD was measured in seven blackwater streams of the Suwannee River Basin within the Georgia coastal plain for between August 2004 and April 2005. SOD was measured using four in situ chambers and was found to vary on average between 0.1 and 2.3 g O₂/m/day across the seven study sites throughout the study period. SOD was found to vary significantly between the watersheds within the Suwannee River Basin. However, land use was not found to be the driving force behind SOD values. Statistical analyses did find significant interaction between land use and watersheds suggesting that an intrinsically different factor in each of the watersheds may be affecting SOD and the low DO concentrations. Further research is needed to identify the factors driving SOD dynamics in the blackwater streams of Georgia’s coastal plain. Results from this study will be used by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources – Environmental Protection Division as model input data for the development and evaluation of DO total maximum daily loads in the Georgia coastal plain.     

Fluorine distribution in aquatic environment and its health effect in the Western Region of the Songnen Plain, Northeast China

Endemic fluorosis was investigated and studied in the west region of the Songnen plain, Northeast China in 2001–2002. The results showed that the fluorine distribution in aquatic environment was that the fluorine concentrations in the lake water and unconfined ground water were higher than that in the river water and confined ground water. The lake water (Alkali lake) is connected with unconfined ground water. In unconfined ground water, from the east and southeast areas to the west and the northwest areas of the plain, fluorine concentration fluctuated with high and low alternatively. The fluorine in the water comes from the weathering of rocks and minerals in the mountains and hills around the Songnen Plain. The main influence factors of the fluorine distribution in aquatic environment are discussed. Unconfined ground water containing high fluorine is used as drinking water. In this region, the fluorine concentration in drinking water is evidently correlated to the morbidity of dental and skeletal fluorosis. High fluorine concentration in drinking water has endangered human health.

安徽淮北平原地下水动态变化研究

论文对安徽淮北地区69个地下水位站的1980-2006年平均地下水埋深资料进行分析,得出淮北地区多年平均地下水埋深2.33m,1980-1990年各地下水年均埋深较浅、变幅较小,1990年以后地下水埋深变幅加大,且埋深有明显的加深趋势。研究认为淮北平原地下水动态虽然受降水量、蒸发量和人类活动等多种因素影响,但近些年来地下水的动态变化主要是人类活动影响的结果。这些人类活动包括地下水资源开发利用、土地利用、水利工程、农业节水灌溉措施等。其中过度开发利用地下水是导致安徽淮北平原地下水埋深下降,地下水资源减少的主要原因。适度开发利用地下水有利于淮北地区地下水的循环更新,但过度的开发利用,已造成平原北部开始出现严重的环境地质问题,应限制开采。     

京津冀地区气溶胶季节变化及与云量的关系

利用2000年3月—2008年2月中分辨率成像光谱仪(MODIS)的卫星资料,分析了京津冀平原地区大气气溶胶光学厚度(AOD)和气溶胶细粒子组分比率(FMF)的时空分布特征. 结果表明:通过AOD与FMF的组合特征可判别气溶胶季节变化特征.冬、春季以粗粒子为主,但冬季AOD偏小,而在春季急剧增大;夏、秋季均以细粒子为主,但夏季AOD达到最大,秋季较小. 大气环流和气流后向轨迹分析表明,冬季到达北京的气流以西北冷空气为主,西北路径的气流轨迹占冬季气流轨迹总数的67%;春季主要受偏西、西北及偏北气流影响,这3类对沙尘天气有贡献的气流轨迹占春季气流轨迹总数比例之和达到60%;夏季主要以偏南气流和局地环流占优,这2类气流轨迹分别占夏季气流轨迹总数的52%和34%;秋季气流轨迹与春季的相似,但途经沙源的气流传输速度较春季慢.京津冀平原地区夏季AOD与云量(CF)呈正相关,AOD增加,特别是细粒子增加可能导致局地云量增多.
