Effects of No-tillage of Rice on Blue and Green Water at Basin Scale by LUO Kaisheng

“…It is of great significance to study the hydrological effect of no-tillage of rice for the popularization of no-tillage technology and the sustainable development of agriculture.However,previous studies were mainly conducted at station scale,and the effect of no-tillage of rice on blue-green water at basin scale is still unclear.Taking the Xiangjiang River Basin as the test area,based on the land use data,digital elevation data,soil data,agricultural management data in 2000 and meteorological data-driven SWAT model,this paper simulates the effect of no-tillage of rice on blue water (water yield+deep groundwater recharge) and green water (actual evapotranspiration+soil moisture content) in the basin.The results show that:Compared with traditional tillage,no-tillage of rice had a greater influence on recharge of deep groundwater,resulting in a decrease of 5.62%,which was 5.35% higher than that of water yield.However,the change of blue water was mainly attributed to the change of water yield,whose contribution was 72.46%.The green water flow (actual evapotranspiration) decreased by 8.460×10⁷ m³ due to no-tillage of rice,but the increase of green water reservoir (soil moisture content) offset these and eventually resulted in the increase of green water.Therefore,the change of blue-green water distribution under no-tillage of rice was mainly achieved by changing water yield and soil moisture content.The water yield mainly caused the change of blue water,while the soil moisture content mainly resulted in the change of green water.Due to the mutual offset of hydrological factors,there was no significant final effect of no-tillage rice on the blue-green water of the whole basin,but large spatial differences within the basin.No-tillage of rice increased the proportion of green water in the total water resources,and increased the ecological water available in the farmland ecosystem,so it played a positive role.…”

Study on Spatiotemporal Distribution Characteristics of Rainfall Erosivity in “Three-Lake” Basin of Central Yunnan by YANG Wenchun, GU Guihua, ZHU Weibing, HUO Shouhua

“…This study is conducted to explore the influence of rainfall on the characteristics of soil erosion in the “three-lake” basin of Fuxian Lake,Xingyun Lake,and Qilu Lake in central Yunnan.On the basis of the daily rainfall observation data of four precipitation stations in the basin from 1992 to 2020,namely,the Liangwanghe,Haikou,Chaershan,and Shagouzui Stations,the daily rainfall erosivity model is employed to calculate rainfall erosivity.Then,its temporal variation characteristics are analyzed with the M-K method,and the spatial changing laws of rainfall and rainfall erosivity are investigated by the Kriging interpolation method for spatial interpolation.The results are as follows:From 1992 to 2020,the average annual rainfall in the “three-lake” basin is 907.6 mm,and the average annual rainfall erosivity is 3 088~4 172 MJ·mm/(hm²·h);the variation coefficient of annual rainfall erosivity is between 0.25 and 0.32,and the number of days with erosive rainfall at each station is 686~759.There is a good correlation between annual rainfall and annual rainfall erosivity,and the annual rainfall erosivity in the basin fluctuates on the whole,with no significant increasing trend and no abrupt change.The rainfall erosivity varies significantly within the year,with that in summer accounting for 61.4% and that in the flood season accounting for 90.5% of the year,and the variation of rainfall erosivity is topped by summer,followed by autumn,spring,and winter.The spatial distribution trend of average annual rainfall erosivity in the basin is consistent with the annual rainfall distribution trend,high in the north and low in the south.The rainfall erosivity decreases gradually from north to south in terms of years,flood seasons,summer,and autumn,while in terms of non-flood seasons,spring,and winter,rainfall erosivity decreases from northeast to southwest.The research results can provide a scientific basis for water and soil conservation and ecological protection of lakes in the basin of plateau lakes in central Yunnan.…”

CONVENTIONAL AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS: A COMPARATIVE BENEFIT AND COST ANALYSIS by Abimbola WINDAPO, Mayibongwe MACHAKA

“…The study thus concludes that since the cost difference between the two buildings is insignificant, the government should encourage sustainable building development through incentives and legislation because of its ecological advantage. The results of the study are of significance because it provides a business case to support the active development of sustainable buildings due to the insignificant difference in cost between sustainable and conventional buildings and the environmental benefits of sustainable buildings. …”
