Comparative Study on Pollutant Carrying Capacity of Plain Sluice-controlled River under Different Water Diversion Scale by YU Ting, CHEN Yanfei, ZHOU Chi, WU Xuejie, ZHANG Xiulian, CHEN Yunmei, CHEN Xiaoqun

“…Water pollutant carrying capacity refers to the maximum allowable pollutant carrying capacity in water body on the basis of meeting the water environmental quality standard of water function area.The calculation of pollutant carrying capacity is of great practical significance to the rational development & utilization and effective protection of water resources.Water conservancy projects such as sluice gates in rivers and lakes will change the hydrological process of rivers and lakes,thus affecting the pollutant carrying capacity of rivers and lakes.Taking the Tongshun River,a typical sluice-controlled river seriously disturbed by human beings,as the research object,this paper analyzes the pollutant carrying capacity of the main stream of Tongshun River under three conditions,namely 10 m³/s,13 m³/s and 15 m³/s,of the intake flow of Zekou sluice by the model method and pollution load method.The results show that different diversion scales have different effects on the pollutant carrying capacity of sluice-controlled river,and there is no complete positive correlation under the restriction of multiple parameters.With the continuous progress of water pollution control projects,the larger the scale of river diversion,the smaller the amount of pollutants need to be reduced.The calculation scheme presented in this paper can provide the basis for the establishment of scientific and feasible sluice dam regulation rules in Tongshun River,and also offer countermeasures and measures for river regulation.…”

Study on Attribution Analysis and Response of Saltwater Intrusion in Modaomen Waterway During Dry Seasons by HUANG Chunhua, LIN Zhongyuan, ZOU Huazhi, HUANG Pengfei, XU Wei

“…Under the influence of climate change and human activities, the saltwater intrusion in the Modaomen Estuary Waterway has intensified significantly,which has greatly threatened the safety of the water supply in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.Based on the daily exceedance time data of seven stations in the Modaomen Waterway,daily maximum tidal range,volume of runoff, mean sea level,cross-shore wind,and alongshore wind from 2004 to 2016,empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and univariate and multiple linear regression analysis were carried out to reveal the response relationship between the saltwater intrusion and the impact factors and quantify the contribution of each impact factor.The results show that the maximum contribution to the saltwater intrusion is the tidal range,followed by the volume of runoff, which can explain 30% and 28% of the diurnal variation of the exceedance time, respectively.The contribution of wind to the saltwater intrusion is slightly greater than that of the mean sea level,and the contribution of wind and mean sea level to the saltwater intrusion is 12% and 11%,respectively.The effect of cross-shore wind is slightly greater than that of alongshore wind.The peak of Modaomen saltwater intrusion appears in 3.2 days after the minimum tidal range,and the salinity of Modaomen Waterway is not suppressed until 1.8 days after the increase in the volume of runoff of Gaoyao station.This paper can provide theoretical support for watershed scheduling and saltwater intrusion forecast.…”
