In the past five decades, coastal groundwater salinization in the 13 Yang-Dai River plain has become increasingly serious under the influence of anthropogenic activities and 14 climatic change. It is pivotal for the scientific management of coastal water resources to accurately 15 understand groundwater salinization processes and their causative factors. Hydrochemical (major ion and 16 trace element) and stable isotopic (δ18O and δ2H) analysis of different water bodies (surface water, 17 groundwater, geothermal water, and seawater) were conducted to improve understanding of groundwater 18 salinization processes in the plain’s Quaternary aquifer. Saltwater intrusion due to intensive groundwater 19 pumping is a major process, either by vertical infiltration along riverbeds which convey saline surface 20 water inland, and/or direct subsurface lateral inflow.

The PAH levels were generally low over the year; however, the PAH concentrations increased according to one of two seasonal trends, which were either an increase in PAHs during the cold period, influenced by heating, or a PAH enrichment during the wet period due to higher run-off inputs. The major PAH source was the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, but a minor input of petrogenic PAHs in some seasons was observed. Higher PAH concentrations were observed in fresh and brackish water compared to the saline waters in the Tumen River estuary, while the PAH concentrations in both types of water were similar in the Partizanskaya River estuary, suggesting different pathways of PAH input into the estuaries.

The 4 Luanhe River Delta (northwest coast of Bohai Sea, China) is characterized by the 5 distribution of saline, brine, brackish and fresh groundwater, from coastline to inland, 6 with a wide range of total dissolved solids (TDS) between 0.38–125.9 g L-1. 7 Meanwhile, previous studies have revealed that this area was significantly affected by 8 Holocene marine transgression. In this study, we used hydrochemical, isotopic, and 9 sedimentological methods to investigate groundwater salinization processes in the 10 Luanhe River Delta and its links to the palaeo-environmental settings.

  • Revised Draft Experiences with Inter Basin Water
    REVISED DRAFT EXPERIENCES WITH INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS FOR IRRIGATION, DRAINAGE AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT ICID TASK FORCE ON INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS Edited by Jancy Vijayan and Bart Schultz August 2007 International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) 48 Nyaya Marg, Chanakyapuri New Delhi 110 021 INDIA Tel: (91-11) 26116837; 26115679; 24679532; Fax: (91-11) 26115962 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.icid.org 1 Foreword FOREWORD Inter Basin Water Transfers (IBWT) are in operation at a quite substantial scale, especially in several developed and emerging countries. In these countries and to a certain extent in some least developed countries there is a substantial interest to develop new IBWTs. IBWTs are being applied or developed not only for irrigated agriculture and hydropower, but also for municipal and industrial water supply, flood management, flow augmentation (increasing flow within a certain river reach or canal for a certain purpose), and in a few cases for navigation, mining, recreation, drainage, wildlife, pollution control, log transport, or estuary improvement. Debates on the pros and cons of such transfers are on going at National and International level. New ideas and concepts on the viabilities and constraints of IBWTs are being presented and deliberated in various fora. In light of this the Central Office of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) has attempted a compilation covering the existing and proposed IBWT schemes all over the world, to the extent of data availability. The first version of the compilation was presented on the occasion of the 54th International Executive Council Meeting of ICID in Montpellier, France, 14 - 19 September 2003.

  • Water Quality Prediction in the Luan River Based on 1-DRCNN and Bigru Hybrid Neural Network Model
    water Article Water Quality Prediction in the Luan River Based on 1-DRCNN and BiGRU Hybrid Neural Network Model Jianzhuo Yan 1,2, Jiaxue Liu 1,2, Yongchuan Yu 1,2,* and Hongxia Xu 1,2 1 Faculty of Information Technology, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China; [email protected] (J.Y.); [email protected] (J.L.); [email protected] (H.X.) 2 Engineering Research Center of Digital Community, Beijing 100124, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-131-2134-7750 Abstract: The current global water environment has been seriously damaged. The prediction of water quality parameters can provide effective reference materials for future water conditions and water quality improvement. In order to further improve the accuracy of water quality prediction and the stability and generalization ability of the model, we propose a new comprehensive deep learning water quality prediction algorithm. Firstly, the water quality data are cleaned and pretreated by isola- tion forest, the Lagrange interpolation method, sliding window average, and principal component analysis (PCA). Then, one-dimensional residual convolutional neural networks (1-DRCNN) and bi- directional gated recurrent units (BiGRU) are used to extract the potential local features among water quality parameters and integrate information before and after time series. Finally, a full connection layer is used to obtain the final prediction results of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and potassium permanganate index (COD-Mn). Our prediction experiment was carried out according to the actual water quality data of Daheiting Reservoir, Luanxian Bridge, and Jianggezhuang at the three control sections of the Luan River in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, from 5 July 2018 to 26 March 2019.
