Development of Habitat Suitability Criteria and In‐Stream Habitat Assessment for the Benthic Cyanobacteria Phormidium

Global demand for freshwater has led to unprecedented levels of water abstraction from riverine systems. This has resulted in large alterations in natural river flows. The deleterious impacts of reduced flows on fish and macroinvertebrate abundances have been thoroughly investigated; in contrast, there is a limited understanding of the potential for changes in the abundance of nuisance benthic algal/cyanobacterial blooms. In New Zealand, Phormidium sp. blooms are common in numerous rivers during summer low flows. In this study, an in‐stream habitat assessment is used to examine the relationship between Phormidium habitat availability and reducing flows. Over 650 observations of Phormidium mats, from seven sites (Hutt River, lower North Island, New Zealand), were used to construct habitat suitability curves for depth, velocity and substrate. Preference curves were fitted using both the ‘forage ratio’ and ‘quantile regression’ methods. Phormidium growth, observed at all seven sites, increased significantly from upstream (uppermost site, 5.2% mat cover) to downstream (63.5%). The habitat suitability curves revealed Phormidium had a large tolerance to velocity, depth and substrate type. Consequently, decreases in flow had only negligible effects on available Phormidium habitat. During periods of stable flow, Phormidium abundance positively correlated with increased nitrogen concentrations, potentially explaining the large variation in Phormidium cover from upstream to downstream. Quantile regression generated habitat suitability criteria were a more accurate predictor of available Phormidium habitat than the forage ratio criteria.

考虑爬高效应的泥石流弯道超高公式

弯道超高是泥石流运动的显著特征。以往研究认为弯道超高完全是由于泥石流的离心运动造成的,未考虑泥石流在弯道运动时的冲起爬高效应。本文假设弯道超高和爬高分别由泥石流沿弯道的切向和法向速度引起,根据弯道处速度矢量三角形和圆弧三角形的几何相似关系,推导了考虑爬高效应的泥石流弯道超高公式。该公式依赖于弯道的内外曲率半径比、泥石流速度和沟壁倾角,适用于弯道圆心角小于60°和沟道较宽的情形。经云南东川蒋家沟的野外实际调查数据以及其他文献中的数据验证,与实测值误差较小,可用于泥石流弯道爬高的实际计算中。     

Groundwater use in Spain: an overview in light of the EU Water Framework Directive

In semi-arid regions, aquifers provide a series of practical advantages that make them preferential sources of water supply. In Spain, groundwater meets about one-fifth of the total water demand and is used to irrigate over one-third of the total irrigated land. This article examines groundwater use in Spain from the perspective of the EU Water Framework Directive. Analysis of different sector uses suggests that core problems (and solutions) related to groundwater lie in agricultural uses and that the Directive's environmental requirements remain distant from reality on the ground, where economic, political and social reasons prevail on legal obligations set by national and supranational authorities.

某水库泄洪明渠末端扩散段急流控导试验研究

通过对某水库泄洪排沙系统的水力模型进行试验研究,发现陡槽明渠末端扩散过渡段水流流态不稳,主流贴岸冲刷严重,为了保证泄流系统的正常运行与堤防安全,必须协调好扩散过渡段前后的水流衔接。基于急流控导理论,提出了边岸导流、水下潜没控制两个控导方案。模型试验研究表明在扩散段加设管桩坝,可以将扩散段主流导向扩散段中央,边岸流速有所减小;采用创新性的组合潜没三角翼在均衡水流和抑制边界层分离都有很好的效果,实现了主流居中稳定、大大减轻了扩散段末端护坦冲刷和右边岸堤防冲刷,研究成果对解决同类型工程问题有一定的借鉴意义。
