The results...The contamination and environmental risk assessment of the toxic elements in sediments from the middle-downstream (Zhuzhou-Changsha section) of the Xiangjiang River in Hunan Province of China were studied. The results show that As, Cd, Pb and Zn are major contaminants in sediments, and average concentrations of these elements significantly exceed both the Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludge of China (GB4284-84) for agricultural use in acidic soils and the effect range median (ERM) values. The average concentrations of As, Cd and Pb in the river water slightly exceed the limit of Surface Water Environment Quality Standard (GB3838-2002). The concentrations of As and Cr in depth profiles extensively change, but slight changes are observed in Pb and Zn. Cd and Zn in most sediment samples can easily enter the food-chain and bring possible ecotoxicological risk to organisms living in sediments according to the risk assessment code.展开更多

In this study, the present and future spatial distributions and temporal trends of ETo in the Xiangjiang River Basin （XJRB） in China were analyzed. ETo during the period from 1961 to 2010 was calculated with historical meteorological data using the FAO Penman-Monteith （FAO P-M） method, while ETo during the period from 2011 to 2100 was downscaled from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 （CMIP5） outputs under two emission scenarios, representative concentration pathway 4.5 and representative concentration pathway 8.5 （RCP45 and RCP85）, using the statistical downscaling model （SDSM）. The spatial distribution and temporal trend of ETo were interpreted with the inverse distance weighted （IDW） method and Mann-Kendall test method, respectively. Results show that： （1） the mean annual ETo of the XJRB is 1 006.3 mm during the period from 1961 to 2010, and the lowest and highest values are found in the northeast and northwest parts due to the high latitude and spatial distribution of climatic factors, respectively; （2） the SDSM performs well in simulating the present ETo and can be used to predict the future ETo in the XJRB; and （3） CMIP5 predicts upward trends in annual ETo under the RCP45 and RCP85 scenarios during the period from 2011 to 2100. Compared with the reference period （1961-1990）, ETo increases by 9.8%, 12.6%, and 15.6% under the RCP45 scenario and 10.2%, 19.1%, and 27.3% under the RCP85 scenario during the periods from 2011 to 2040, from 2041 to 2070, and from 2071 to 2100, respectively. The predicted increasing ETo under the RCP85 scenario is greater than that under the RCP45 scenario during the period from 2011 to 2100.展开更多

Results show that the Xiangjiang River Basin will probably experience temperature rises during the period from 2021 to2050, with precipitation decrease in the 2020 s and increase in the 2030 s. The VIC model performs well for monthly discharge simulations with better performance for hydrometric stations on the main stream of the Xiangjiang River than for tributary catchments. The simulated annual discharges are significantly correlated to the recorded annual discharges for all the eight selected target stations. The Xiangjiang River Basin may experience water shortages induced by climate change. Annual water resources of the Xiangjiang River Basin over the period from 2021 to 2050 are projected to decrease by 2.76% on average within the range from-7.81% to 7.40%. It is essential to consider the potential impact of climate change on water resources in future planning for sustainable utilization of water resources.展开更多

However, this problem has often been ignored. The present study used the Xiangjiang River basin(XRB) as the study area, and the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs(InVEST) model, demand quantification model,supply–demand ratio, and water flow formula were applied to explore the spatial heterogeneity, flow, and equilibrium between water supply and demand. The results demonstrated significant spatial heterogeneity in the upstream, midstream, and downstream regions.The areas of water shortage were mainly located the downstream of the Changsha–Zhuzhou–Xiangtan urban agglomeration, and the Hengyang basin was the most scarcity area. Affected by terrain gradients and human needs, water flow varied from-16.33 × 10^(8) m^(3) to 13.69 × 10^(8) m^(3)from the upstream to the downstream area, which provided a possibility to reduce spatial heterogeneity. In the future, measures such as strengthening water resource system control,sponge city construction, and dynamic monitoring technology should be taken to balance the supply and demand of water in different river sections of the basin. This study can provide references for regulating water resources allocation in different reaches of the basin.展开更多

Seasonal temporal-spatial change of monthly runoff of Xiangjiang River and Yachi River mainly had two kinds of modalites. The first modality was artificial influence mode,which was absolutely main component of seasonal change of monthly runoff in Xiangjiang River and Yachi River,and peak appeared during August-October. Here,component of Yachi River was far larger than that of Xiangjiang River,and artificial control ability of monthly runoff in Xiangjiang River was far larger than Yachi River. The second modality was natural influence mode,and peak appeared in July. Xiangjiang River and Yachi River had similar natural influence component,and the component was only tiny part of seasonal change of monthly runoff in Xiangjiang River and Yachi River. Water gathering change of Xiangjiang River headstream showed by monthly runoff of Yachi River and the first mode of regional rainfall were main influence factors of monthly runoff of Xiangjiang River. Monthly runoff of Xiangjiang River,monthly runoff of Yachi River and the first mode of regional rainfall all had the same-phase seasonal change.展开更多

We identified the bloom-forming species in a bloom that occurred mid-late September 2010. In addition, we determined the extent of metal bioaccumulation in the algae and measured the toxicity of the algae using a mouse bioassay. Water samples were collected at upstream （Yongzhou）, midstream （Hengyang）, and downstream （Zhuzhou, Xiangtan, and Changsha） sites. The dominant species was Aulacoseira granulata, formerly known as Melosira granulata. The heaviest bloom occurred at Xiangtan and Changsha, where the number ofA. granulata peaked at 1.3×10^5 filaments L-1 and chlorophyll a at 0.04 mg L-1. Concentrations of A1, Fe, and Mn were 4.4×10^3, 768.4, and 138.7 mg kg-1 dry weight in the phytoplankton. The bioaccumulation factor was 4.0×10^5, 7.7×10^5, and 3.2×10^3, respectively. The heavy metal Pb had the greatest tendency to bioaccumulate among the highly toxic heavy metals, with a concentration of 19.2 mg kg-1 dry weight and bioaccumulation factor of 9.6×10^3. The mouse bioassay suggested the bloom was toxic. The LD50 was 384 mg kg-1 and all surviving mice lost weight during the first 72 h after exposure. Our results demonstrate that blooms ofA. granulata in rivers contaminated with heavy metals pose a threat to freshwater ecosystems and human health. Thus, measures should be taken to control eutrophication and heavy metal pollution in such rivers.展开更多

Water gathering change of Xiangjiang River headstream showed by monthly runoff of Yachi River and the first mode of regional rainfall were main influence factors of monthly runoff of Xiangjiang River. Monthly runoff of Xiangjiang River,monthly runoff of Yachi River and the first mode of regional rainfall all had the same-phase seasonal change.

文摘The equilibrium between the supply and demand of water purification services is essential for safeguarding watershed ecosystems and supporting sustainable socio-economic growth.While current research mainly emphasizes the static analysis of this balance,dynamic investigations into service flow characteristics remain scarce.This study focuses on the Xiangjiang River Basin in southern China,utilizing the InVEST model,differential equations governing supply and demand,and social network analysis to investigate the spatio-temporal patterns of water purification service supply and demand.The results reveal that between 2000 and 2020,the supply of water purification services showed a slight upward trend,while demand exhibited a fluctuating downward tendency,and the supply-demand surplus fluctuated.On an annual basis,the supply generally met the demand,but significant spatial variation in supply-demand balance was observed,with high-risk zones concentrated in the central Hengshao arid corridor and the northern Changzhutan metropolitan area.In the water purification service network,surplus nodes increased,while deficit nodes decreased over time.Network density improved from 98.96%in 2000 to 100%in 2020.The flow of surplus services from upstream regions alleviated supply-demand imbalances downstream,notably in the Hengyang-Shaoyang(Hengshao)arid corridor and the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan(Changzhutan)metropolitan area.However,during drought years,diminished water volume intensified supply-demand pressures in these regions.This research framework,which incorporates the dynamic effects of service flow,broadens the scope of water purification service studies and provides a solid foundation for integrated water resource and environmental management.

文摘The frequency of algal blooms has increased in the mid and downstream reaches of the Xiangjiang River （Hunan, China）, one of the most heavily polluted rivers in China. We identified the bloom-forming species in a bloom that occurred mid-late September 2010. In addition, we determined the extent of metal bioaccumulation in the algae and measured the toxicity of the algae using a mouse bioassay. Water samples were collected at upstream （Yongzhou）, midstream （Hengyang）, and downstream （Zhuzhou, Xiangtan, and Changsha） sites. The dominant species was Aulacoseira granulata, formerly known as Melosira granulata. The heaviest bloom occurred at Xiangtan and Changsha, where the number ofA. granulata peaked at 1.3×10^5 filaments L-1 and chlorophyll a at 0.04 mg L-1. Concentrations of A1, Fe, and Mn were 4.4×10^3, 768.4, and 138.7 mg kg-1 dry weight in the phytoplankton. The bioaccumulation factor was 4.0×10^5, 7.7×10^5, and 3.2×10^3, respectively. The heavy metal Pb had the greatest tendency to bioaccumulate among the highly toxic heavy metals, with a concentration of 19.2 mg kg-1 dry weight and bioaccumulation factor of 9.6×10^3. The mouse bioassay suggested the bloom was toxic. The LD50 was 384 mg kg-1 and all surviving mice lost weight during the first 72 h after exposure. Our results demonstrate that blooms ofA. granulata in rivers contaminated with heavy metals pose a threat to freshwater ecosystems and human health. Thus, measures should be taken to control eutrophication and heavy metal pollution in such rivers.

文摘Ecological compensation is a new resource and environment management model.As one of the main areas for implementing ecological compensation policies,basin ecological compensation has become an important measure for encouraging basin pollution control projects and improving the quality of regional economic development.By applying the basic game analysis of evolutionary game theory and building an evolutionary game model with a“reward-punishment”mechanism,this paper compares the interest-related decision-making behaviors of the upstream and downstream stakeholders of basin ecological compensation.By using data on the water quality of Xiangjiang River Basin,this paper calculates the rewards and penalties in different intervals by building a parametric regression mathematical model and employing the local linear regression method.Results show that a decline in water quality should be fined RMB 925500 yuan,an improvement in water quality should be awarded RMB 1227800 yuan,and a deteriorating water quality should be severely fined RMB 5087600 yuan.
