Hydrogeological Zoning of the Central Minusinsk Basin by the Conditions of Formation of Fresh Groundwater Resources     

Rasskazov  N. M.  Kulagina  T. A.  Kuskovski  V. S. 《Water Resources》2003,30(3):246-251

A detailed hydrogeological zoning of the central part of the Minusinsk artesian basin is performed. Local basins confined to smaller plicated structures, as well as hydrogeological massifs of local scale, are recognized within large block structures. Direction of subsurface streams and their role in the formation of groundwater resources and composition are discussed. Forecast resources of fresh groundwater are estimated for every recognized structure.  相似文献   

Water Quality of Small Rivers in the Zone of Influence of Gold-Mining Facilities in Krasnoyarsk Region     

Shchur  L. A.  Bazhina  L. V.  Volkova  N. I.  Trofimova  M. A. 《Water Resources》2003,30(1):72-80

Environmental and sanitary estimation of small-river water quality is made in the zone of influence of gold-mining facilities in Krasnoyarsk Region. The estimates are based on data on the hydrochemical regime and the characteristics of phytoplankton, microphyto-periphyton, macrozoobenthos, and ichthyofauna collected during the vegetation period of 2000.  相似文献   

The Effect of Alongshore Protection Structures on Shore Dynamics     

Makarov  K. N.  Makarova  I. L.  Abakumov  O. L. 《Water Resources》2003,30(1):47-52

A mathematical model of the seashore dynamics is considered. The model describes the seashore protection against destruction by alongshore through structures, underwater trenches, and artificial islands. The results of model calculations are presented and correlated with the data of measurements made on hydraulic models.  相似文献   

Long-Term Prediction of Water Quality in Marine Water Areas     

Zemlyanaya  N. V.  Lyakhov  V. N. 《Water Resources》2003,30(4):445-452

Random walk approach is used to develop a model for long-term prediction of water quality in shallow marine waters. The model allows one to simulate variations in hydrological situations, reactive solutes, interaction between solutes and liquid and solid boundaries. The model application is illustrated by calculations for Amur Bay. Calculations using the long-term prediction model has not found a stationary state in the pollution level. The velocities of seaward motion of pollution front and the rates of increase in the concentration of a nonreactive solute are given.  相似文献   

Evaluation of Sea Water Quality in the Coastal Zone of Primor'e Using the Method of Microbial Indication     

Bezverbnaya  I. P.  Dimitrieva  G. Yu.  Tazaki  K.  Vatanabe  H. 《Water Resources》2003,30(2):199-208

The response of marine microorganism community to variations in the concentrations of heavy metals in the environment is investigated for the coastal waters of Peter the Great Bay and the northern part of Primor'e. The fact of the existence and sensitivity of the individual response of plankton community microorganisms to variations in the concentrations of metals in the water under the conditions of water contamination with a complex of metals are confirmed on the basis of microbiological data and the results of their comparison to the data of chemical analysis. Microbial indication is shown to serve as an operative method of monitoring and short-term forecasting of changes in the environmental conditions of sea coastal waters. This method allows obtaining preliminary information at the stage of selecting environmental quality observation stations.  相似文献   

Analytical Model for Permeability Evolution in Microcracking Rock     

G. D. H. Simpson  Y. Guéguen  F. Schneider 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2003,160(5-6):999-1008

— Analytical expressions to predict the enhancement of permeability due to stress-induced microcracking in initially low porosity rock are presented. A fracture mechanical microcrack model is employed to derive integrated effective hydraulic variables as a function of stress, which are then used to calculate the evolution of permeability using the statistically-based Dienes model. The model enables determination of permeability enhancement as a function of two loading parameters and three material parameters. Results are in reasonable agreement with experimental measurements and indicate that appreciable increases in permeability can be anticipated during brittle failure. The analytical nature of the model makes it easily incorporatable into numerical models that require quantification of the permeability evolution as a function of stress, for which there is currently no law.  相似文献

Modeling Lake Ladoga Zoobenthos and Studying Its Role in Phosphorus Exchange at the Water–Bed Interface     

Astrakhantsev  G. P.  Minina  T. R.  Petrova  N. A.  Poloskov  V. N.  Rukhovets  L. A. 《Water Resources》2003,30(2):209-220

A zoobenthos submodel is included in an ecosystem model. The new model is used to assess the role of zoobenthos in the phosphorus exchange at the water–bed interface, in particular, the phosphorus cycle in the water body ecosystem is described more accurately. The calculated zoobenthos distribution over the bed of a lake can be used in modeling the lake ichthyocenoses.  相似文献   

Analysis of Numerical Procedures for Solving Mass Transport Problems at a Regional Scale     

Kuznetsov  D. S.  Roshal  A. A. 《Water Resources》2003,30(3):283-289

The principal mass transport models and the ways of their implementation are considered. Some problems associated with the application of numerical methods for mass transport modeling in problems of dissolved chemicals migration at a regional scale are discussed. A new method proposed in this study allows the determination of the space structure of a groundwater flow and the simulation of steady-state convective mass transport.  相似文献   

Earthen barriers to control lava flows in the 2001 eruption of Mt. Etna     

F. Barberi  F. Brondi  M. L. Carapezza  L. Cavarra  C. Murgia 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》2003,123(1-2):231

Preceded by four days of intense seismicity and marked ground deformation, a new eruption of Mt. Etna started on 17 July and lasted until 9 August 2001. It produced lava emission and strombolian and phreatomagmatic activity from four different main vents located on a complex fracture system extending from the southeast summit cone for about 4.5 km southwards, from 3000 to 2100 m elevation (a.s.l.). The lava emitted from the lowest vent cut up an important road on the volcano and destroyed other rural roads and a few isolated country houses. Its front descended southwards to about 4 km distance from the villages of Nicolosi and Belpasso. A plan of intervention, including diversion and retaining barriers and possibly lava flow interruption, was prepared but not activated because the flow front stopped as a consequence of a decrease in the effusion rate. Extensive interventions were carried out in order to protect some important tourist facilities of the Sapienza and Mts. Silvestri zones (1900 m elevation) from being destroyed by the lava emitted from vents located at 2700 m and 2550 m elevation. Thirteen earthen barriers (with a maximum length of 370 m, height of 10–12 m, base width of 15 m and volume of 25 000 m³) were built to divert the lava flow away from the facilities towards a path implying considerably less damage. Most of the barriers were oriented diagonally (110–135°) to the direction of the flow. They were made of loose material excavated nearby and worked very nicely, resisting the thrust of the lava without any difficulty. After the interventions carried out on Mt. Etna in 1983 and in 1991–1992, those of 2001 confirm that earthen barriers can be very effective in controlling lava flows.  相似文献
