The relationship between ψERC and the rainfall depth can be well represented by the piecewise linear function.Further based on the daily rainfall data over the period from 1960 to 2008 the value of the annual runoff coefficient ψARC is calculated. Although the total rainfall depth in each year is different ψARC in Handan can be considered as a constant 0.62 approximately. The results can be used for the quantity assessment and performance analysis of the RRHS.展开更多

To investigate the runoff and erosion responses to frequent land use change on the steep lands in the Three Gorges area, China, a rainfall simulation experiment was conducted in plots randomly selected at a Sloping Land Conversion Program site with three soil surface conditions: existing vegetation cover, vegetation removal, and freshly hoed. Simulated rainfall was applied at intensities of 60 (low), 90 (medium), and 120 mm h 1 (high) in each plot. The results indicated that vegetation removal and hoeing significantly changed runoff generation. The proportion of subsurface runoff in the total runoff decreased from 30.3% to 6.2% after vegetation removal. In the hoed plots, the subsurface runoff comprised 29.1% of the total runoff under low-intensity rainfall simulation and the proportion rapidly decreased with increasing rainfall intensity. Vegetation removal and tillage also significantly increased soil erosion. The average soil erosion rates from the vegetation removal and hoed plots were 3.0 and 10.2 times larger than that in the existing vegetation cover plots, respectively. These identified that both the runoff generation mechanism and soil erosion changed as a consequence of altering land use on steep lands. Thus, conservation practices with maximum vegetation cover and minimum tillage should be used to reduce surface runoff and soil erosion on steep lands.展开更多

The construction wastes with different tested size gradations can greatly remove Pb from stormwater runoff and their average removal rate can reach up to 99%.The construction wastes with narrow size distribution can better remove Pb but with worse permeability than those with wide size distribution. The particle size gradation of construction wastes greatly influences the equilibrium time rate and the capacity of Pb adsorption.The equilibrium adsorption rate and capacity are 18.1 μg/min and 5.5 μg/g respectively for the construction wastes with the size of 2.36 to 4.75 mm which are the greatest among the different size gradations.The present study provides a scientific basis for effectively controlling Pb pollution from stormwater runoff and the construction wastes resource utilization.展开更多

Based on the monthly runoff data for more than 40 years of the Beidao,Xianyang,Huaxian station on Weihe Basin,the annual distribution characteristics of runoff were studied. Several indices related to attributes of uneven,concentrate degree and variation amplitude were calculated,and the results showed that there had obvious fresh and drought seasonal changes in 1990s. The annual runoff distribution had changed a lot,mainly because of runoff decrease in the wet season. The Huaxian station,which locates at the upper reaches,had a higher unevenness,concentration and relative variation rate than that of the Beidao and Xianyang station.展开更多

The order of rainfall characteristics impacting on Hg pollution in runoff is dry periods 〉runoff time〉duration of rainfall〉storm intensity〉rainfall.展开更多

For a large area (e.g., a model grid size of a regional climate model or a general circulation model), these runoff generation mechanisms are commonly present at different portions of a grid cell simultaneously. Missing one of the two major runoff generation mechanisms and failing to consider spatial soil variability can result in significant under/over estimation of surface runoff which can directly introduce large errors in soil moisture states over each model grid cell. Therefore, proper modeling of surface runoff is essential to a reasonable representation of feedbacks in a land-atmosphere system. This paper presents a new surface runoff parameterization with the Philip infiltration formulation that dynamically represents both the Horton and Dunne runoff generation mechanisms within a model grid cell. The parameterization takes into account the effects of soil heterogeneity on Horton and Dunne runoff. The new parameterization is implemented into the current version of the hydrologically based Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface model and tested over one watershed in Pennsylvania, USA and over the Shiguanhe Basin in the Huaihe Watershed in China. Results show that the new parameterization plays a very important role in partitioning the water budget between surface runoff and soil moisture in the atmosphere-land coupling system, and has potential applications on large hydrological simulations and land-atmospheric interactions. It is further found that the Horton runoff mechanism should be considered within the context of subgrid-scale spatial variability of soil properties and precipitation.展开更多

Two fields of surface runoff were separately set up in R. pseudoacacia stand and its clearcut area in the western Liaoning Province (1850-12225 E, 4024-4234 N) for measuring the characteristics of runoff and sediment as well as soil moisture dynamics. Contractive analysis of the two land types showed that there existed a significant difference in volumes of runoff and sediment between the sites of R. pseudoacacia stand and its clearcut area. The runoff volume and sediment volume in clearcut area were much bigger than those in R. pseudoacacia stand, with an increase amount of 40%-177% for runoff and 180%-400% for sediment. Hydrograph of surface runoff of typical rainfall showed that the peak value of runoff in R. pseudoacacia stand was decreased by 1.0-2.5?0-3m3s-1 compared with that in its clearcut area, and the occurring time of peak value of runoff in R. pseudoacacia stand was 10-20 min later than that in its clearcut area. Harmonic analysis of soil moisture dynamics indicated that the soil moisture in R. pseudoacacia stand was 2.3 % higher than that in clearcut area, and the soil moisture both in R. pseudoacacia stand and its clearcut area could be divided into dry season and humid season and varied periodically with annual rainfall precipitation. It was concluded that R. pseudoacacia stand plays a very important role in storing water, increasing soil moisture, and reducing surface runoff and soil erosion.展开更多

文摘Previous works were mainly concentrated on long-term average runoff alterations,and extreme temperatures and watershed conditions are little analyzed.In this study,we collected gauged river flow and meteorological data time series from 1916 to 2015 and 1941 to 2015 across the contiguous United States(CONUS)for 188 catchments to investigate the temporal trends and spatial features of runoff changes at multi-time scales.We also analyzed the relationships between runoff changes and climatic factors.Median descriptive statistics and Budyko coupled climate elasticity methods were used to calculate runoff elasticity in each time scale.The original Mann-Kendall trend test was used to test their trend significance in four time-scale(11,20,40,and 60 a),respectively.The results show that the trend of runoff changes is more significant in high time scales;total changes are heterogeneous over CONUS.After the 1970s,increases of up to 27%decade-1 were mainly concentrated in the mid-northern regions.Maximum temperature and catchment characteristics are vital factors for runoff alteration;runoff changes are independent of rainfall,and wet regions tend to have lower changes.These findings could help develop better regional water resource planning and management.

文摘This study employs the Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)rainfall-runoff model to simulate and predict runoff in typical basins of the Jiziwan Region of the Yellow River,aiming to overcome the shortcomings of traditional hydrological models in complex nonlinear environments.The Jiziwan Region of the Yellow River is affected by human activities such as urbanization,agricultural development,and water resource management,leading to increasingly complex hydrological processes.Traditional hydrological models struggle to effectively capture the relationship between rainfall and runoff.The LSTM rainfall-runoff model,using deep learning techniques,automatically extracts features from data,identifies complex patterns and long-term dependency in time series,and provides more accurate and reliable runoff predictions.The results demonstrate that the LSTM rainfall-runoff model adapts well to the complex hydrological characteristics of the Jiziwan Region,showing superior performance over traditional hydrological models,especially in addressing the changing trends under the influence of climate change and human activities.By analyzing the interannual and within-year variations of runoff under different climate change scenarios,the model can predict the evolution trends of runoff under future climate conditions,providing a scientific basis for water resource management and decision-making.The results indicate that under different climate change scenarios,the runoff in several typical basins of the Jiziwan Region exhibits different variation trends.Under SSP1-2.6 and SSP2-4.5,some basins,such as the Wuding River Basin,Tuwei River Basin,and Gushanchuan Basin,show a decreasing trend in annual runoff.For example,in the Wuding River Basin,the average runoff from 2025 to 2040 is 12.48 m^(3)/s(SSP1-2.6),with an annual decrease of 0.10 m^(3)/s;in the Tuwei River Basin,the runoff from 2025 to 2040 is 12.96 m^(3)/s(SSP1-2.6),with an annual decrease of 0.10 m^(3)/s.In contrast,under SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5,with climate warming and changes in precipitation patterns,runoff in some basins shows an increasing trend,particularly during the snowmelt period and with increased summer precipitation,leading to a significant rise in runoff.

文摘Land use and precipitation are two major factors affecting phosphorus(P)pollution of watershed runoff.However,molecular characterization of dissolved organic phosphorus(DOP)in runoff under the joint influences of land use and precipitation remains limited.This study used Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry(FT-ICR-MS)to study the molecular characteristics of DOP in a typical P-polluted watershed with spatially variable land use and precipitation.The results showed that low precipitation and intense human activity,including phosphate mining and associated industries,resulted in the accumulation of aliphatic DOP compounds in the upper reaches,characterized by low aromaticity and low biological stability.Higher precipitation and widespread agriculture in the middle and lower reaches resulted in highly unsaturated DOP compounds with high biological stability constituting a higher proportion,compared to in the upper reaches.While,under similar precipitation,more aliphatic DOP compounds characterized by lower aromaticity and higher saturation were enriched in the lower reaches due to more influence from urban runoff relative to the middle reaches.Photochemical and/or microbial processes did result in changes in the characteristics of DOP compounds during runoff processes due to the prevalence of low molecular weight and low O/C bioavailable aliphatic DOP molecules in the upper reaches,which were increasingly transformed into refractory compounds from the upper tomiddle reaches.The results of this study can increase the understanding of the joint impacts of land use and precipitation on DOP compounds in watershed runoff.

文摘Microplastics(MPs),as a new category of environmental pollutant,have been the hotspot of eco-friendly issues nowadays.Studies based on the aging process,the migration pattern of MPs in runoff rainwater,and the use of bioretention cells to remove MPs from runoff rainwater are beginning to attract widespread attention.This review analyses the migration patterns of MPs in rainwater runoff through their sources,structure and characteristics.The mechanism of removing MPs from runoff stormwater,the purification efficiency of different fillers and their influencing factors,and the accumulation,fate,and aging of MPs in bioretention cells are described.Furthermore,the hazards of MP accumulation on the performance of bioretention cells are summarised.Future directions for removing MPs in bioretention cells are proposed:(1)research on MPs smaller than 100μm;(2)influence of MPs aging process on bioretention cells;(3)exploration of more effective fillers to enhance their removal efficiency;(4)research on synergistic removal mechanism of MPs and other pollution.

文摘In order to accurately estimate the runoff coefficient for the quantity assessment of the roof rainwater harvesting system RRHS great differences in the value of event runoff coefficient ψERC were observed by field monitoring under different roof types roof slope and material and diverse rainfall distributions rainfall depth and intensity in three years 2010 to 2012 in Handan Hebei China.The results indicate that the distribution of ψERC is more highly correlated with the event rainfall depth than other factors. The relationship between ψERC and the rainfall depth can be well represented by the piecewise linear function.Further based on the daily rainfall data over the period from 1960 to 2008 the value of the annual runoff coefficient ψARC is calculated. Although the total rainfall depth in each year is different ψARC in Handan can be considered as a constant 0.62 approximately. The results can be used for the quantity assessment and performance analysis of the RRHS.

文摘This study aims to construct a large-scale hydrological Variable Infiltration Capacity(VIC)model based on temperature and precipitation at high altitudes,while elucidating the applicability of the model for hydrological simulation and analyzing the factors affecting runoff volume.Runoff volume and runoff depth were simulated using the VIC model and its performance was evaluated.Meanwhile,the factors affecting runoff volume were analyzed using Spearman correlation.The following model sensitivity parameters were obtained based on the China Natural Runoff Grid Point Dataset(CNRD v1.0):The variable infiltration curve parameter was 0.3,the Dsmax fraction where non-linear baseflow begins was 0.02,the maximum baseflow velocity was 15 mm/d,the maximum soil moisture where non-linear baseflow occurred was 0.7,the second soil moisture layer thickness was 0.3,and the thickness of the third soil moisture layer was 1.5.The surface runoff values in the Nyang River basin were similar in the first and fourth quarters(1.05–2.27 mm and 2.38–4.77 mm,respectively),and the surface runoff values were similar in the second and third quarters when the surface runoff was greater(23.46–52.20 mm and 60.59–85.63 mm,respectively).Watershed area,temperature,and precipitation significantly influenced the amount of runoff from the Nyang River.The applicability of the model to the Nyang River basin was confirmed using two different rate models.In some areas,precipitation and temperature did not have a dominating influence on runoff.Although the VIC model has significant advantages in runoff simulation,it requires a wealth of meteorological,soil,and hydrological data that may be difficult to obtain in some areas.

文摘This study investigated the impacts of spring runoff on the formation of halobenzoquinones(HBQs)and their correlation with common water quality parameters(WQPs)and aromatic amino acids(AAs)in source water.Source water and treated water samples were collected at two drinking water treatment plants in 2021,2022,and 2023.HBQs and aromatic AAs were analyzed using solid phase extraction with high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry methods.The only HBQs detected in treated water were 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone(DCBQ)and hydroxy–DCBQ(OH-DCBQ).The concentration of DCBQ was 3-4 times higher during spring runoff events than during non-spring-runoff periods,suggesting the impact of spring runoff on the formation of DCBQ.The DCBQ concentrations in finished water positively correlated with the color,dissolved organic carbon,total organic nitrogen,and specific ultraviolet absorbance WQPs of source water in 2021 and 2022.The temporal trend of the total aromatic AAs determined in source water was strongly and positively correlated to DCBQ in finished water.Finally,there was a significant positive correlation between the concentration of DCBQ determined immediately following the addition of chlorine and the presence of its transformation product,OH-DCBQ,in finished water.The results also showed that powdered activated carbon can remove some of the HBQ precursors in the sourcewater to reduce DCBQ formation.This study demonstrated that WQPs and aromatic AAs are useful indicators for the removal of precursors to reduce HBQ formation during drinking water treatment.

文摘The South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China aims to address the imbalanced distribution of water resources between the northern and southern regions,a critical safeguard for sustainable socio-economic and ecological development.In this study,we investigated the hydroclimatic evolution of the water source area and its driving mechanisms using the inflow runoff data at Danjiangkou Reservoir from 1954 to 2013,along with multiple gridded hydroclimatic datasets.Based on the correlations between instrumental runoff data and gridded hydroclimatic variables,we used linear regression to extend the long-term runoff record to the period of 1902-2019.Our results indicate that climate changes,dominated by regional wet-dry cycles,have significant impacts on runoff variations,while the influence of human activities remains comparatively limited.Danjiangkou Reservoir can maintain a balanced base flow,even during the operation of the water diversion project.Preliminary synoptic climatology analyses reveal that runoff variations are mainly driven by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)and the Pacific Walker Circulation(PWC),which affect runoff by altering large-scale ocean-to-continent water vapor processes.This study advances the field by integrating multi-source data with analytical techniques,which enhances understanding of long-term runoff changes in the Danjiangkou Reservoir and their climatic drivers,ultimately supporting sustainable water resource management.

文摘Climate change and human activities are primary drivers of runoff variations,significantly impacting the hydrological balance of river basins.In recent decades,the Yellow River Basin,China has experienced a marked decline in runoff,posing challenges to the sustainable development of regional water resources and ecosystem stability.To enhance the understanding of runoff dynamics in the basin,we selected the Dahei River Basin,a representative tributary in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin as the study area.A comprehensive analysis of runoff trends and contributing factors was conducted using the data on hydrology,meteorology,and water resource development and utilization.Abrupt change years of runoff series in the Dahei River Basin was identified by the Mann-Kendall and Pettitt tests:1999 at Dianshang,Qixiaying,and Meidai hydrological stations and 1995 at Sanliang hydrological station.Through hydrological simulations based on the Variable Infiltration Capacity(VIC)model,we quantified the factors driving runoff evolution in the Dahei River Basin,with climate change contributing 9.92%–22.91%and human activities contributing 77.09%–90.08%.The Budyko hypothesis method provided similar results,with climate change contributing 13.06%–20.89%and human activities contributing 79.11%–86.94%.Both methods indicated that human activities,particularly water consumption,were dominant factors in the runoff variations of the Dahei River Basin.The integration of hydrological modeling with attribution analysis offers valuable insights into runoff evolution,facilitating adaptive strategies to mitigate water scarcity in arid and semi-arid areas.

文摘Urbanization develops with the goal of establishing improved and more sustainable habitats for residents.Environmental and social performance must be simultaneously monitored to ascertain whether regions are progressing towards or deviating from the safe and just space(SJS)in urbanization.Despite relevant studies,the absence of indicators that bridge ecological preservation and human well-beings renders dual monitoring challenging.This study bridged the gap by exploring the interactions between urbanization,ecosystem services(ESs),and basic water,energy,and food(WEF)needs within the SJS framework across China and its provinces.By quantifying the minimum and actual demands for freshwater withdrawal,carbon emissions,phosphorus emissions,and land use,as well as the supply of ESs into unified biophysical indicators,we found that:(1)China can meet the basic WEF needs for all from 2000 to 2020,but only water and land provisioning ESs can operate within the SJS.Carbon emissions surpassed the sequestration capacity in 2010,while phosphorus purification ES has consistently been unsafe.(2)The SJS performance in terms of ecological and social fulfilment exhibited scale differences and undergone changes with urbanization.Overall,no province in China can consistently operate within all SJSs.(3)In the process of urbanization,improvements in ecological protection and production practices in most provinces expanded the size of SJS,but the continuous increase in total demand failed to steer regions toward safer spaces.Our framework emphasized the common but differentiated pathways that regions at varying stages of urbanization navigate to achieve safety and justice.It also provides an applicable solution for regions aiming to pursue urban growth while maintaining ecological conservation and social justice,ultimately achieving sustainable development.

文摘The Songhua River Basin(SRB),ranking third largest in China in terms of both runoff volume and basin area,has experi-enced frequent disasters and drastic changes in runoff since the early 20th century.Many studies have analyzed the causes of runoff re-duction;however,the spatiotemporal differences in runoff contributions and their underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood,which are crucial for regional water resources management and effective utilization.This study used the Mann-Kendall rank correlation trend test,continuous wavelet analysis,cumulative anomaly,and the slope change ratio of cumulative quantities(SCRCQ)method to explore the runoff changes characteristics and spatiotemporal differences of the contributions of climate change and human activities to runoff changes across three sub-basins of the SRB.The results show that:1)runoff from 1955 to 2022 in all the three sub-basins exhibit a statistically significant decreasing trend at 0.05 significant level.2)Four abrupt change points in runoff were detected in Nenjiang River Basin(NRB)and the mainstream of the SRB(MSRB),whereas only two change points in the Second Songhua River(SSRB).3)Runoff and precipitation series of the NRB and MSRB exhibit similar multi-timescale cycle characteristics with the most dominated cycles of 45-58 yr.In contrast,it is 12-18 yr for SSRB.4)Anthropogenic activities are the primary factor leading to in the reduction of runoff in NRB(74.33%-91.67%)and MSRB(50.11%-102.12%),whereas it is only 5.38%-33.12%in SSRB.This is attributed to the uneven distribution of regional climate and human activities in the entire SRB.5)With the growing demand for water diversion for agri-cultural irrigation,anthropogenic activities in the NRB and MSRB have increased.However,the opposite is found in SSR,where the in-creased influence of precipitation on runoff and water conservation policies are identified.

文摘The Tianshan Mountains of Central Asia,highly sensitive to climate change,has been comprehensively assessed for its ecosystem vulnerability across multiple aspects.However,studies on the region's main river systems and hydropower resources remain limited.Thus,examining the impact of climate change on the runoff and gross hydropower potential(GHP)of this region is essential for promoting sustainable development and effective management of water and hydropower resources.This study focused on the Kaidu River Basin that is situated above the Dashankou Hydropower Station on the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains,China.By utilizing an ensemble of bias-corrected global climate models(GCMs)from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6(CMIP6)and the Variable Infiltration Capacity(VIC)model coupled with a glacier module(VIC-Glacier),we examined the variations in future runoff and GHP during 2017-2070 under four shared socio-economic pathway(SSP)scenarios(SSP1-2.6,SSP2-4.5,SSP3-7.0,and SSP5-8.5)compared to the baseline period(1985-2016).The findings indicated that precipitation and temperature in the Kaidu River Basin exhibit a general upward trend under the four SSP scenarios,with the fastest rate of increase in precipitation under the SSP2-4.5 scenario and the most significant changes in mean,maximum,and minimum temperatures under the SSP5-8.5 scenario,compared to the baseline period(1980-2016).Future runoff in the basin is projected to decrease,with rates of decline under the SSP1-2.6,SSP2-4.5,SSP3-7.0,and SSP5-8.5 scenarios being 3.09,3.42,7.04,and 7.20 m^(3)/s per decade,respectively.The trends in GHP are consistent with runoff,with rates of decline in GHP under the SSP1-2.6,SSP2-4.5,SSP3-7.0,and SSP5-8.5 scenarios at 507.74,563.33,1158.44,and 1184.52 MW/10a,respectively.Compared to the baseline period(1985-2016),the rates of change in GHP under the SSP1-2.6,SSP2-4.5,SSP3-7.0,and SSP5-8.5 scenarios are-20.66%,-20.93%,-18.91%,and-17.49%,respectively.The Kaidu River Basin will face significant challenges in water and hydropower resources in the future,underscoring the need to adjust water resource management and hydropower planning within the basin.

文摘Land use and land cover change is a key driver of environmental change. To investigate the runoff and erosion responses to frequent land use change on the steep lands in the Three Gorges area, China, a rainfall simulation experiment was conducted in plots randomly selected at a Sloping Land Conversion Program site with three soil surface conditions: existing vegetation cover, vegetation removal, and freshly hoed. Simulated rainfall was applied at intensities of 60 (low), 90 (medium), and 120 mm h 1 (high) in each plot. The results indicated that vegetation removal and hoeing significantly changed runoff generation. The proportion of subsurface runoff in the total runoff decreased from 30.3% to 6.2% after vegetation removal. In the hoed plots, the subsurface runoff comprised 29.1% of the total runoff under low-intensity rainfall simulation and the proportion rapidly decreased with increasing rainfall intensity. Vegetation removal and tillage also significantly increased soil erosion. The average soil erosion rates from the vegetation removal and hoed plots were 3.0 and 10.2 times larger than that in the existing vegetation cover plots, respectively. These identified that both the runoff generation mechanism and soil erosion changed as a consequence of altering land use on steep lands. Thus, conservation practices with maximum vegetation cover and minimum tillage should be used to reduce surface runoff and soil erosion on steep lands.

文摘Construction wastes were selected as the adsorbents and static and dynamic adsorption batch experiments were carried out to investigate the adsorption of Pb to construction wastes with different particle size gradations in the simulated stormwater runoff system.The experimental results show that the pseudo-second-order kinetics model can better characterize the adsorption process of Pb than the pseudo-first-order kinetics model.The adsorption equilibrium data can be well fitted by the Freundlich isotherm model. The construction wastes with different tested size gradations can greatly remove Pb from stormwater runoff and their average removal rate can reach up to 99%.The construction wastes with narrow size distribution can better remove Pb but with worse permeability than those with wide size distribution. The particle size gradation of construction wastes greatly influences the equilibrium time rate and the capacity of Pb adsorption.The equilibrium adsorption rate and capacity are 18.1 μg/min and 5.5 μg/g respectively for the construction wastes with the size of 2.36 to 4.75 mm which are the greatest among the different size gradations.The present study provides a scientific basis for effectively controlling Pb pollution from stormwater runoff and the construction wastes resource utilization.

文摘[Objective] The research was aimed to study the dynamics of slope runoff and soil erosion in different forest types in karst depression.[Method] Precipitation observation sites at the bottom of karst depression and runoff observation sites in different forest types were established to monitor regularly the main indices changes of runoff and soil erosion at fixed position in 4 years.[Result] The surface runoff of different forest types appeared singer peak from February to November,with lowest valley from June to July.The runoff coefficient appeared double peaks from February to May and from July to September.The changing coefficient of runoff appeared three peaks from March to April,from July to August and from September to November.The silt concentration appeared one peak from March to May and The erosion modulus appeared double peaks from March to May and from June to August.Runoff showed annually reduced trend with the growth of forests and the development of vegetation layer＇s structure.There was a positive correlation between the runoff and its silt concentration in different forest types.Precipitation and evaporation had notable positive correlation with the runoff,and similar correlation but not marked with silt concentration.The fitting analysis results of surface runoff and erosion modulus showed that rocky desertification intensified the unevenness of surface runoff and increased the surface runoff and erosion modulus.The penetrability of surface soil in new planted forest was lower than that in young forest,and that in surface soil of different forest types was higher than in bottom soil.[Conclusion] The research provided theoretical basis for the biological management technologies of water and soil conservation and the control of karst rocky desertification in karst regions.
文摘With the impact of climate change and the increasing intensity of human activities,the hydrological regime had changed,including annual runoff distribution,which was related with water resources management and ecological construction. Based on the monthly runoff data for more than 40 years of the Beidao,Xianyang,Huaxian station on Weihe Basin,the annual distribution characteristics of runoff were studied. Several indices related to attributes of uneven,concentrate degree and variation amplitude were calculated,and the results showed that there had obvious fresh and drought seasonal changes in 1990s. The annual runoff distribution had changed a lot,mainly because of runoff decrease in the wet season. The Huaxian station,which locates at the upper reaches,had a higher unevenness,concentration and relative variation rate than that of the Beidao and Xianyang station.

文摘Surface runoff is mainly generated by two mechanisms, infiltration excess (Horton) runoff and saturation excess (Dunne) runoff; and the spatial variability of soil properties, antecedent soil moisture, topography, and rainfall will result in different surface runoff generation mechanisms. For a large area (e.g., a model grid size of a regional climate model or a general circulation model), these runoff generation mechanisms are commonly present at different portions of a grid cell simultaneously. Missing one of the two major runoff generation mechanisms and failing to consider spatial soil variability can result in significant under/over estimation of surface runoff which can directly introduce large errors in soil moisture states over each model grid cell. Therefore, proper modeling of surface runoff is essential to a reasonable representation of feedbacks in a land-atmosphere system. This paper presents a new surface runoff parameterization with the Philip infiltration formulation that dynamically represents both the Horton and Dunne runoff generation mechanisms within a model grid cell. The parameterization takes into account the effects of soil heterogeneity on Horton and Dunne runoff. The new parameterization is implemented into the current version of the hydrologically based Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface model and tested over one watershed in Pennsylvania, USA and over the Shiguanhe Basin in the Huaihe Watershed in China. Results show that the new parameterization plays a very important role in partitioning the water budget between surface runoff and soil moisture in the atmosphere-land coupling system, and has potential applications on large hydrological simulations and land-atmospheric interactions. It is further found that the Horton runoff mechanism should be considered within the context of subgrid-scale spatial variability of soil properties and precipitation.

文摘Robinia pseudoacacia stands act as a typical ecological protection forest in hilly semi-arid area of China. Two fields of surface runoff were separately set up in R. pseudoacacia stand and its clearcut area in the western Liaoning Province (1850-12225 E, 4024-4234 N) for measuring the characteristics of runoff and sediment as well as soil moisture dynamics. Contractive analysis of the two land types showed that there existed a significant difference in volumes of runoff and sediment between the sites of R. pseudoacacia stand and its clearcut area. The runoff volume and sediment volume in clearcut area were much bigger than those in R. pseudoacacia stand, with an increase amount of 40%-177% for runoff and 180%-400% for sediment. Hydrograph of surface runoff of typical rainfall showed that the peak value of runoff in R. pseudoacacia stand was decreased by 1.0-2.5?0-3m3s-1 compared with that in its clearcut area, and the occurring time of peak value of runoff in R. pseudoacacia stand was 10-20 min later than that in its clearcut area. Harmonic analysis of soil moisture dynamics indicated that the soil moisture in R. pseudoacacia stand was 2.3 % higher than that in clearcut area, and the soil moisture both in R. pseudoacacia stand and its clearcut area could be divided into dry season and humid season and varied periodically with annual rainfall precipitation. It was concluded that R. pseudoacacia stand plays a very important role in storing water, increasing soil moisture, and reducing surface runoff and soil erosion.
