Factors Controlling Stable Hydrogen,Oxygen,and Carbon Isotope Ratios in Regional Shallow Groundwater of Guangzhou City,China by ZENG Hui, ZHUO Quanlong, ZHANG Mingzhu, PANG Yuan, LIANG Zuobing

“…To investigate the distribution characteristics and controlling factors of stable hydrogen,oxygen,and carbon isotopes in shallow groundwater in Guangzhou,18 shallow groundwater monitoring wells in Guangzhou were selected.This study analyzed the component characteristics of stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in surface water and groundwater,stable isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon in groundwater,and ammonium nitrogen isotope in groundwater in Guangzhou City and investigated the influencing factors of groundwater hydrological characteristics and the evolution of dissolved inorganic carbon.The results show that atmospheric precipitation is an important source of shallow groundwater recharge,and there is a close hydraulic connection between groundwater and surface water in Conghua District,northern Guangzhou,where precipitation directly recharges groundwater and is less affected by evaporation;near the southern coastal area of Guangzhou,groundwater may be affected by seawater intrusion.The deuterium excess parameter (d-excess) values in groundwater in Conghua District are significantly influenced by the control of groundwater retention time,and the significantly low d-excess values in the southern coastal area of Guangzhou may be influenced by the seawater intrusion.The evolution of DIC in shallow groundwater is significantly influenced by anthropogenic factors,and the value of δ¹³C_DIC in the water body is higher.In contrast,high-ammonium groundwater mainly comes from the degradation of natural organic matter,and the high concentration of NH⁺₄ is the main reason for the abnormally high δ¹³C_DIC value in groundwater.…”

Differential Impact of Climate Change and Human Activities on Runoff Changes in the Upper Reaches of the Yellow River by LI Fang, ZENG Biao, LI Xungui, SHEN Yanqi

“…The results show that the evaluation indexes R² and NSE of five hydrological stations are all larger than 0.8.During the study period,the runoff changes in the source area of the YR were generally insignificant,and the runoff downstream declined earlier and more obviously than that upstream.The change in runoff in the middle section of the YR from 1986 to 2005 was affected by both climate change and human activities.After 2005,human activities were the leading factor for the reduction of runoff.The runoff changes in the lower part of the YR from 1986 to 1995 were jointly affected by climate change and human activities.The gradual strengthening of human activities was the main cause of runoff changes after 1995.The rapid development of industry,agriculture and urban agglomerations and the successive construction of hydropower stations have led to a change in the differential driving characteristics of runoff changes from “climate control” in the base period to “co-control by climate change and human activities” and finally to “dominant human activities.”…”

Review on Applications of System Dynamics Method in Regional Water Demand Prediction by QIN Huanhuan

“…Water resources are the most important basic natural resources for the sustainable development of the social economy,the controlling element of the ecological environment,and strategic economic resources.With the growth in population and economic development,regional water consumption is increasing,and the imbalance between the supply and demand of water resources has become the “bottleneck” restricting regional economic development.Water demand prediction is an important basis for the planning,management,and sustainable utilization of regional water resources,which involves complex factors such as economic,hydrological,meteorological,social,engineering,and technological factors as well as the industrial structure and industrial and agricultural development.The system dynamics method based on the feedback control theory has significant advantages in the dynamic change,causal mechanism analysis,quantitative analysis and simulation of a multi-factor coupled complex giant system.It has been widely used in the prediction of regional water demand.The system dynamics model of regional water demand prediction can decompose a complex social water use system into multiple interconnected and mutually constrained subsystems.It can clearly show the dynamic change process of water demand of each water use subsystem and obtain accurate prediction results of water demand.In this paper,firstly,the characteristics of the system dynamics method are briefly introduced.Then,the applications of this method in regional water demand are summarized and analyzed from four aspects,i.e.…”

Characteristics of Water Distribution in Vadose Zone in the Soil Site and Its Impact on Site Preservation by ZHANG Xiaozhou, YUN Zhihan, YUAN Wei, LI Yi, ZHAO Fan

“…Affected by water,ruins of soil texture are prone to crack,crispness,salt accumulation,moss and other hazards,which is not conducive to their preservation.In order to find out the source of soil water damage in the soil site so as to provide a reliable basis for the preservation of this site,based on the refined hydrogeological survey,this paper used the Solinst Levelogger groundwater recorder and MW307GD-M4 wireless gradient soil three-parameter monitoring terminal to continuously monitor the water trend in vadose zone in a long time sequence,and analyse the cause and mechanism of water damage in the archeological shed.The results show that the moisture content of the vadose zone of the ruin is generally high,with that of the same layer outside the shed about 10% higher than that inside the shed,but the soil permeability coefficients mainly range from 2.07×10^-5 to 3.41×10^-5cm/s,suggesting the weak effect of the rainfall outside the shed on the soil in the shed through horizontal infiltration.The phreatic water level ranges from 3.2 to 5.6 m,with an amplitude of about 0.25 m within the hydrological year.The rising capillary water subject to its fluctuation can directly affect the excavation interface under extreme rainfall conditions as the main control factor of the water damage of the ruin of soil texture.By reference to the engineering-geological concept of “upstream flow interception,downstream flow discharge and local flow control”,regulating the moisture content of the soil body in the sacrificial area casts new light on the preservation of ruins of soil texture.…”
