LEAKY ACRES RECHARGE FACILITY: A TEN-YEAR EVALUATION1

From 1971-1980, studies were conducted at Fresno, California, to identify and quantify, where possible, the soil and water chemistry, subsurface geologic, hydrologic, biologic, and operational factors that determine the long term (10-year) effectiveness of basin type artificial ground water recharge through alluvial soils. This paper updates previous findings and refers to publications that describe the geology beneath the basins and regional geology that determine the transmission and storage properties for local ground water management and chemical quality enhancement. High quality irrigation water from the Kings River was used for recharge. Construction and land costs for the present expanded facility 83 ha (205.2 ac) using three parcels of land were $1,457,100. The nine-year annual mean costs for only canal water, maintenance, and operation were $110.42/ha·m ($13.62/ac·ft) based on an average recharge rate of 1338 ha·m/yr (10,848 ac·ft/yr) at 86 percent facility efficiency. The measured end of season recharge rate averaged 14.97 ± 0.24 cm/day. The 10-year mean actual recharge rate based on actual water delivered, total ponded area, and total days of recharge was 12.1 cm/day.     

地质屏障的防护性能在采油废水污泥填埋中的作用机理研究

地质屏障对有害物质的防护性能取决于地质屏障的岩石性质、水文地质特征以及污染物本身的物理化学性质。为了了解污泥填埋场表层土壤性质、土壤渗透性能及对特征污染物的吸附和截留情况，实验工程以克拉玛依白碱滩六九区及81#污水处理站废水及所产生的污泥为实例，以六九区污水处理站污水贮存塘区为试验场地，实施现场渗水试验，并对该试验场地不同剖面、不同层位的土壤吸附参数进行测定，以评价地质屏障的防护作用，在满足环境保护的前提条件下，尽量减少工程投入，使污泥填埋工程及投资在社会、环境及经济三方面更趋合理、可行。

安徽繁昌滑坡群为沿江高速公路施工诱发的工程滑坡,滑坡群形成主要受区域地质构造背景、物质组成、地形地貌、结构面特征、岩体风化程度等诸多地质环境条件控制,作为大型土质堆积体滑坡群在长江沿江丘陵地区比较少见,就其成因背景、形成机理及稳定性进行论证分析,并对其进行分级分区,有针对性的提出了该滑坡群的治理方案。     

三江并流带旅游地质资源环境现状及保护

地质资源是一种重要的旅游资源，有必要对其开发，但由于旅游地质资源环境自身的脆弱性，关联性，以及人类活动对其不合理的开发和利用，都会使其毁于一旦。笔者以三江并流带旅游地质资源的开发为例，分析了三江并流带开发中旅游地质资源环境的现状、存在问题及其影响因素，并提出了旅游地质资源环境保护的建议、对策。

珠江上游水质特征及其影响因素

测定了珠江13个采样点在2009年9月至2010年8月期间的15个水质指标。结果表明,在研究区域内,水质类型可以分为5类,以Ca-HCO3型水为主;水质类型主要受到水与地质岩石矿物相互作用的影响,SO4型、Cl型和Na型水质分别与硫铁矿矿山、海水潮汐和人为活动有关;受海水潮汐影响的Na-Cl型水质中,溶存物质以及重金属的量均较其他水质类型高。

GIS与环境模拟在环境地学研究中的作用和意义

21世纪全球环境问题将更加突出,环境地学应为研究、解决环境问题做出更多的贡献。但是,环境地学研究所采用的方法和手段还不能满足客观的需要。文章着重讨论了环境模拟系统(EnvironmentalImitationSystem,EIS)的建立及EIS与地理信息系统(GeographicalInformationSystem,GIS)的耦合等问题。作者通过研究,认为上述问题已基本得到解决．从而可以弥补GIS中环境模拟功能的不足,可使EIS纳入GIS的信息空间管理系统,进行信息空间管理、应用分析和信息叠加,并使信息可视化。文章最后指出．目前,可建立GIS-EIS联合系统,以实现信息互换和信息资源的二次开发、利用。

Land Use,Geology, Enrichment,and Stream Biota in the Eastern Ridge and Valley Ecoregion: Implications for Nutrient Criteria Development1

Abstract: The eastern panhandle region of West Virginia is entirely within the Appalachian Ridge and Valley ecoregion. It is underlain by limestone in the eastern part and by shale and sandstone in the western part. Agricultural and urban development has affected the condition of the streams of this region. We examined samples from 165 stations in the Ridge and Valley, collected from 1998 to 2004. Land use, geological characteristics, physical and chemical parameters, and algal and macroinvertebrate assemblages were used to identify potential stressors that affect streams in the region. Our analyses indicated that both human land uses and ecoregional differences led to elevated nutrient concentrations in streams of the study areas. Multiple regression analyses indicated that both agricultural and urban land use in the watershed were associated with high nutrient concentrations (NO₂₊₃, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus) in streams. These elevated nutrient concentrations have led to increased algal biomass, increased trophic state, and degradation of macroinvertebrate community in the streams. Values of the West Virginia Stream Condition Index, as well as several other benthic macroinvertebrate metrics, decreased with increased nutrient concentrations and conductivity, especially in the limestone region. When regional differences were partitioned out in the analysis, nutrient concentrations became the strongest stressor in the limestone region while conductivity exhibited less of an effect on macroinvertebrate metrics. Meanwhile, periphyton diagnostic metrics also responded to increased nutrient concentrations, suggesting nutrients could be a cause of biological degradation in the Eastern Ridge and Valley region. Multiple approaches and multiple lines of evidence (reference approach and stressor‐response approach) were applied to develop nutrient benchmarks for different geological regions in the study watershed.
