Establishment and Implementation of Sponge City Monitoring System— A Case Study of Zhenjiang by WANG Yan, YU Meixiu, LU Zhicong

“…In order to effectively deal with urban water pollution and waterlogging,China proposes the concept of sponge city for stormwater management,which takes the control rate of total annual runoff,urban non-point pollution control,and urban rainstorm and waterlogging prevention as evaluation indicators to comprehensively improve the water resources,water security,water environment,and water ecological quality of cities.In the process of sponge city planning,construction,operation,and maintenance,it is necessary to establish a complete online monitoring system to assist the whole life cycle management of the sponge city construction.With Zhenjiang city listed in the first batch of pilot sponge cities in China as an example,a multi-level and organically nested sponge city monitoring system is constructed,and it mainly monitors rainfall,underlying surface,land area (sponge facilities,project sites,drainage zones),rivers and lakes,and basins.In addition,its monitoring indicator,distribution principle,monitoring frequency,as well as selection,recognition,and effective utilization of data are specified.The construction and implementation of the sponge city monitoring system are of great theoretical significance and application value for evaluating the construction and operation optimization of sponge cities,strengthening urban waterlogging prevention and control,and systematically promoting sponge cities in the whole area.…”

Review on Cement Stabilization/Solidification of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Fly Ash by Chengcheng Fan, Baomin Wang, Tingting Zhang

“…Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash must be treated properly prior to being disposed in the security landfill due to its serious pollution toxicity. Nowadays, lots of studies have demonstrated that cement-based stabilization/solidification could reduce the toxicity pollution effectively by encapsulating the heavy metals into cement matrix, which leads to greater capacity and weight. …”

Impact of Rapid Urbanization on Shenzhen Water Environment by JIANG Yu, ZHANG Qiuying, LI Fadong, HU Jiangling, LI Caole, WANG Fan

“…The water environment of Shenzhen Bay,one of the key waters in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,is mainly influenced by the urbanization of the surrounding areas.Water resource protection and water environment governance are particularly important for Shenzhen,a water-deficient city.This paper explores the specific influence relationship between each factor and the water environment in the process of urbanization.The comprehensive water pollution index and Pearson correlation analysis are utilized to analyze the relationship of the changes in population size and industrial structure with the water environment of Shenzhen Bay in urbanization.The research shows that the main pollutants in the water environment of Shenzhen Bay are chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N),and some pollutants come from urban non-point source pollution.The water quality in Nanshan District is good,while that in Futian District is poor,but the overall water quality shows a trend of improvement.The water environment is less affected by population change and more affected by industrial structure change.Therefore,formulating reasonable policies to guide the transformation of the industrial structure is an effective way to improve the water environment of Shenzhen Bay.…”
