Population growth along the southeastern United States coast has precipitated the conversion of forested watersheds to suburban and urban ones. This study sampled creeks representing forested, suburban, and urban watersheds along a longitudinal gradient for indicators of water quality, including traditional indicator bacteria (fecal coliforms and enterococci) and alternative viral indicators (male-specific and somatic coliphages). Tested microorganisms were generally distributed with highest concentrations in creek headwaters and in more developed watersheds. The headwaters also showed the strongest predictive relationship between indicator concentrations and urbanization as measured by impervious cover. A seasonal pattern was observed for indicator bacteria but not for indicator viruses. Coliphage typing indicated the likely source of contamination was nonhuman. Results suggest that headwater creeks can serve as sentinel habitat, signaling early warning of public health concerns from land-based anthropogenic activities. This study also implies the potential to eventually forecast indicator concentrations under land use change scenarios.  相似文献

径流还原计算中淤地坝拦蓄水量还原计算方法   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文

黄土高原地区淤地坝分布密集,对天然产汇流过程扰动较大,给径流还原或水资源评价带来了极大的影响。因此,研究淤地坝影响下的径流还原计算方法对区域水资源评价或径流设计有重要意义。以黑木头川流域为研究对象,分别采用还原系数法和径流系数法计算了殿市水文站控制产汇流区的淤地坝逐年拦蓄水量,并将两种方法的结果进行对比,论证了还原系数法的适用性。还原系数法的计算结果表明:1971~2007年殿市水文站产流区内的淤地坝平均年拦蓄水量为86.21×104m3,与径流系数法计算所得到的拦蓄水量基本一致,相对误差仅为1.36%。同时,研究发现单位控制面积分摊后的拦蓄水量在年际变化上并不显著,基本维持在某一区间内。研究结果表明还原系数法不仅可用于洪水还原,也可较为准确地计算淤地坝影响区的淤地坝拦蓄变量。作为河川径流还原计算方法或淤地坝影响的黄土高原地区水资源评价研究的计算方法之一,可与径流系数法进行交叉验证,进而获得比较准确的淤地坝拦蓄水量。且由于淤地坝年拦水量空间分摊后,单位控制面积的拦水量基本稳定,故在淤地坝上游无明显人类活动的情况下,可据此初估已知或近似区域淤地坝控制流域面积条件下的淤地坝年拦蓄水量,为黄土高原地区今后开展水资源评价和径流预报提供一条简单的途径。  相似文献

The Kiryu Experimental Watershed: 50-years of rainfall-runoff data for a forest catchment in central Japan     

Masanori Katsuyama  Nobuhito Ohte  Yoshiko Kosugi  Makoto Tani 《水文研究》2021,35(3):e14104

The Kiryu Experimental Catchment (KEW) is a small (5.99 ha) forest catchment located in Shiga Prefecture, central Japan (34°58′ N, 136°00′ E; www.bluemoon.kais.kyoto-u.ac.jp/kiryu/contents.html ). Around this area, forest devastation occurred from ca. 1250 to ca. 150 years ago because of overuse of forest and timbers. Then, hillside forestation was carried out for more than 100 years to prevent soil erosion and support the timber industry, and consequently, most of this area is now covered with plantation forests mainly by Chamaecyparis obtusa Sieb. et Zucc. (Japanese cypress) planted around 1960's. This plantation forest is not actively managed. The KEW is one of the leading experimental forests with long-term monitoring data in Japan. Research in the KEW began in 1967 to elucidate the hydrological and biogeochemical processes in the forested catchment in relation to climate, geology, soil, and vegetation growth. Since then, the long-term hydrological data of precipitation, runoff and sediment transport are continuously monitoring. In this study, we provide the data and preliminarily discuss the rainfall–runoff patterns and sediment transport through 50 years in the KEW. The annual precipitation and the maximum daily rainfall have been greater than the average over the last decade. In response to the rainfall patterns, the ratio of annual direct runoff to precipitation was also larger in the last decade. The sediment transport in this decade was consequently larger than the preceding decades. Our data presented here suggest that a close relationship exists between the climate condition, rainfall–runoff response, sediment dynamics, as well as a slowly progressing change of forest condition.  相似文献   

Determining hydrologic pathways of streamflow using geochemical tracers in a claypan watershed     

Fengjing Liu  Robert N. Lerch  John Yang  Greg Peters 《水文研究》2020,34(11):2494-2509

Despite the low permeability of claypan soils, groundwater has been heavily contaminated by nitrate in agricultural watersheds dominated by claypan soils. However, it is unclear how nitrate concentrations in groundwater affect stream water quality. In this study, streamflow pathways were investigated using natural geochemical tracers in the 73-km² Goodwater Creek Experimental Watershed in northeastern Missouri. Samples were collected from 2011 to 2017 from stream water (weekly-biweekly), precipitation (event-based), groundwater in 25 wells with screened depths varying from 2 to 16 m (bimonthly–seasonal) and interflow above the claypan in 7 shallow piezometers (weekly–monthly). The results of endmember mixing analysis using major ions indicate that streamflow was dominated by near-surface runoff (59 ± 20%), followed by interflow (25 ± 16%) and groundwater (16 ± 13%). Analysis of endmember distances using the mixing space defined by stream water chemistry suggests that groundwater contributions to streamflow came primarily from the intermediate to deep glacial till aquifer near and below 8 m. Near-surface runoff was persistent and dominant even after isolated precipitation events during a prolonged dry period. It is hypothesised that the alluvial aquifer near stream banks acts as a mixing zone to receive and store various source waters, resulting in persistent delivery of runoff to the stream. Groundwater, even though its contribution was limited, plays a significant role in regulating streamflow NO₃⁻ concentrations. This study significantly improves our understanding of claypan hydrology and will lead to the development of models and decision support tools for implementation of management practices that improve groundwater and stream water quality in restrictive layer watersheds.  相似文献

Speciation of aluminum in the stream waters from the Susquehanna River watershed, Chesapeake Bay     

Shuping Bi 《Environmental Geology》2001,40(3):300-304

 The aim of this paper was to analyze the processing and transport of aluminum speciation through the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the Chesapeake Bay landscape. Stream waters were sampled in 14 different streams from the Susquehanna River watershed to the upper reach of Chesapeake Bay. The basic water quality data were documented and Al speciation was evaluated by modified MINEQL computer model. It was found that the increase in acidity in some of the stream waters near New York were closely linked with a marked decline in basic cation concentrations. In these areas, the sum of the toxic forms of Al³⁺ plus AlOH²⁺ and Al(OH)₂ ⁺ concentrations exceeds the critical level of 5 μmol l^–1. A potential threat from aluminum may occur.

Environmental magnetic and magnetic fabric studies in LakeWaynewood, northeastern Pennsylvania, USA: Evidence for changes inwatershed dynamics     

M.T. Cioppa  K.P. Kodama 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2003,29(1):61-78

An environmental magnetic and magnetic fabric study of sedimentscollected from Lake Waynewood, a post-glacial lake in the PoconoMountains of Pennsylvania, USA, provided a history of the lake's watersheddynamics over the past 3500 years. Two 5 m long, Mackereth coresof lake sediments and three watershed soil profiles were analyzed magnetically.Paleosecular variation and ¹⁴C measurements allowed timing ofchanges in the lake's watershed which are documented by changes in ARM,SIRM,, S-ratio, SIRM/, ARM/ and ARM/SIRMdowncore. Prior to 2900 years BP, there is little evidence for allogenicinflux. Dramatic changes in mineral magnetic properties and a strong AARmagnetic fabric appear approximately 2900 years BP, suggesting major changes inwatershed conditions, either in the hydrologic regime or in vegetative cover.Between 2900 and 1800 yrs BP, large variations in magnetic mineralogy areapparent, whereas about 1800 years BP, a single sediment source began todominate the magnetic mineralogy. About 100–200 years ago, conditionsagain changed, probably due to clearcutting and settlement of the watershed.Topsoil erosion appears to have dominated the magnetic signal. S and Mnconcentration downcore indicate that there is little evidence for reductiondiagenesis having caused the changes observed in magnetic mineral type andconcentration, except in the top 10 centimeters of the sediment column.  相似文献
