Study on Runoff and Climate Change Response of Upper and Middle Reaches of Xiuhe River Basin Based on SWAT Model by HUANG Yipeng, LIU Weilin, WAN Yifan, WEN Hongan, WU Bin, LIU Lina, ZHU Shengnan

“…Study on distributed hydrological simulation,model parameter sensitivity analysis and response of climate change to runoff are of important practical significance and scientific value for control of flood and drought disasters and distribution of water resources in the Xiuhe River Basin.Taking the upper and middle reaches of Xiuhe River Basin as research area,this paper builds the SWAT localization model to simulate runoff,and conducts the quantitative analysis on the response of runoff of Xiuhe River Basin to climate change with 55 climate scenarios (temperature increases or decreases 0~2℃,precipitation increases 0~60% or decreases 0~40%,respectively) as input of SWAT model.Results show that:In calibration period,the correlation coefficient R² is 0.87,and the Nash coefficient E_ns is 0.86,while,0.87 and 0.83 respectively in verification period,proving the high applicability of SWAT model in runoff simulation of Xiu River Basin;10% change of precipitation in Xiuhe River Basin has an impact on its runoff of 8.9%~10.7%;1℃ change of temperature has an impact on its runoff of only 0.3%~1.3%;precipitation is the main influencing factor of runoff change;after analyzing the climate scenario grid,when the precipitation is between -40% and +50%,the precipitation-temperature-runoff is basically linearly correlated,which can be presented by a plane function.In extreme precipitation cases,the relationship between temperature and runoff is nonlinear.…”

Analysis of the Impact of Sewage Outfall on the Water Quality of Coastal Waters of Macau Based on MIKE21 Model by CHANG Ze, ZHANG Qionghai, JIANG Yu, SUN Ning, HE Rui, WANG Tengfei, WU Yaju, LONG Xiaofei

“…This paper simulates the impact of the sewage outfall of the Macau Taipa Wastewater Treatment Plant on the water quality changes in the nearby Lingding Ocean by the hydrodynamic module (HD) and the transmission diffusion module (TR) of the MIKE21 model,provides the boundary conditions for the local two-dimensional tidal current model (built by MIKE21) through the one and two-dimensional integrated tidal current model of the Pearl River Estuary area,and analyzes the impact of pollutant diffusion under normal discharge and accident discharge in terms of the three evaluation factors,namely COD_Cr (chemical oxygen demand),SS (total suspended solids) and NH₃-N (Ammonia-Nitrogen),under the “2005·6” flood combination and “2001·2” low water combination as the most unfavorable hydrological conditions.The results show that the water quality of main channel can meet the Class Ⅲ standard among the Sea Water Quality Standards (GB 3097—1997).With proper preventive measure,the out-of-limit water area under accidental discharge is less than 0.2 km².This model has good adaptability to the simulation of the diffusion of pollutants into the coastal waters of Macau,so it can better simulate the impact of sewage discharge on the water quality of the sea under the action of ocean tides,and serve as a basis and research direction for the establishment of sewage outfall.…”

Water and Sediment Process Variation in Jingjiang River in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River and Response Analysis of Flow Capacity of Three Outlets by SHEN Jian, YUAN Song

“…The Jingjiang reach of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is connected to Dongting Lake through three outlets,forming an extremely complex and far-reaching relationship between the rivers and lakes.The operation of the Three Gorges Project has changed the natural water and sediment process in the Jingjiang River downstream of the dam.This leads to “flattening” flood processes in the main stream,extended middle water period,and an increase in low flow,which has promoted the continuous response of the three outlets to the above water and sediment conditions.Meanwhile,this paper employs a series of long-term measured hydrological consolidation data and river channel terrain observation results from nearly 70 years.Based on this,the response characteristics of the three outlets to the water and sediment variation process of the Jingjiang River are analyzed,and the flow and sediment diversion,river regime,and erosion and sedimentation evolution laws in the entrance area are summarized.The results show that in the same inflow conditions before and after the operation of the Three Gorges Project,the diversion ratio of three outlets decreases,and the sediment diversion corresponds to the sediment from the upstream branch city.Additionally,the sediment diversion ratio continues its gradually increasing trend.After the impoundment and operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir,the riverbed of three outlets is generally in a state of erosion,with a total erosion amount of 51.47 million m³ from 2003 to 2011 and 99 million m³ from 2011 to 2016.The entrance areas have been expanded,but the actual flow capacity has not been significantly improved.…”
