Study on Effects of Reservoir Construction on Hydrological Regime of Downstream River Morphology Transition Area by CHEN Jian, CHEN Chen

“…The resultsshow that the combination of the one-dimensional and two-dimensional hydrodynamic calculationmodel can objectively reflect the hydrodynamic changes in the transition area from the narrow anddeep mountain river channels at the upper reach to the broad, shallow and many-branch plain riverchannels at the lower reach, which is suitable for the study on the changes of hydrological regimein this area.Due to the storage and operation of the hot spring reservoir, in August of the floodseason,the flow of river channel at the lower reach of reservoir reduces significantly, with waterdepth, water width, and flow rate of river section decreasing obviously. …”

Distribution of Pollutants in Nandu River Estuary in Different Environments by FANG Mingyi, SHI Haoran, HAILAI Yibo, LI Haisheng, MING Rui

“…In view of the frequent tropical storm surge in Nandu River Estuary in recent years,the increasing population in Haikou City each year,severe pollution emissions,and increasing upstream water use year by year,this paper studies the pollutant distribution in Nandu River Estuary under the storm surge and reduction of upstream water inflow on the basis of the hydrodynamic-water quality model.In addition,the changes of pollutants under different environments are analyzed.The results demonstrate that pollutants are mainly distributed on the left bank of the river and are mainly in striped shape due to the topography of the river.When the upstream flow is reduced by 20%,the effect of the tidal current is more significant,and pollutants are greatly affected by convection;the pollution zone becomes narrower,and the diffusion distance is the farthest.When the downstream tidal level is raised by 0.4 m,the interaction between the upstream inflow and tidal current is obvious;the flow rate decreases,and the pollutant retention is serious.In this case,pollutants mainly diffuse to the upstream by diffusion.Therefore,the upstream water resources should be effectively regulated and used,and the water surrounding the sewage outlet should be monitored with more efforts to provide a reference for the water environment management of the estuary section of Haikou City in the future.…”
