A. TASNEEM1, P. K. AGGARWAL2, Z. LATIF1, S. BUTT1, T. JAVED1 and M. I. SAJJAD1 1Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science & Technology, Nilore, Islamabad, Pakistan 2Isotope Hydrology Section, IAEA, Vienna, Austria The concentration of dissolved oxygen in surface waters is an indicator of the water quality and the impact of pollutant loads from various sources of discharge. Dissolved oxygen concentrations and δ18O of dissolved oxygen in a river are controlled by gas exchange with the atmosphere (reaeration), respiration (biological and sediment oxygen demands), and photosynthetic production. When respiration dominates over photosynthesis, dissolved oxygen will be undersaturated and δ18O of dissolved oxygen will be greater than 24.2‰. When photosynthesis exceeds respiration, in contrast, dissolved oxygen will be supersaturated and δ18O will be less than 24.2‰. When gas exchange dominates over photosynthesis and 18 respiration, dissolved O2 is close to saturation and the δ O will be nearly 24.2‰ [1]. Direct measurements of the rates of these processes are difficult and laboratory or empirical estimates are commonly used for predictive modeling of water quality. An innovative approach to site-specific estimation of parameters for water quality modeling and validation of predictive models is to use the stable oxygen isotope ratio of dissolved oxygen as a unique tracer of the source and consumption of oxygen. The concentration and δ18O of dissolved oxygen along with other physico-chemical parameters like pH, Electrical conductivity, temperature, chlorophyll, BOD and COD were measured in three lakes and a river. The water samples were also collected for the measurement of δ13C. Electrical conductivity of Rawal lake vary from 306 to 462 µs/cm, the pH varies from 6.65 to 7.84 temperature varies from 15.6 to 32.2 oC. δ18O of dissolved oxygen ranged from 24.15 to 29.5 ‰ and indicate that gas exchange dominates photosynthesis and respiration at the surface of water both in July and December. However in December, EC, temperature, DO concentration and δ18O of dissolved oxygen have no variations with depth. In July, DO concentration decreases and δ18O increases with depth. Respiration dominates over photosynthesis at 5 meters and 10 meters of depth as dissolved oxygen is undersaturated and δ18O is greater than 24.2‰. In Kalar Kahar Lake, EC varies from 3100 to 3410 µs/cm, temperature ranges from 15.8 to 17.7 oC and dissolved oxygen concentration varies from 11.1 to 14.9 mg/l. δ18O values of 19.15 to 20.87 ‰ indicate that photosynthesis dominate respiration and exchange rate. From River Ravi, the samples were collected from four locations, 0 km, 4 km, 25 km and 50 km downstream. The first location that is considered as unpolluted is taken as first sampling point (i.e. 0 km). EC values of the river Ravi vary from 202 to 463 µs/cm, pH ranges from 3 7.16 to 8.58 and the temperature have values from 23.1 to 32.5 oC. δ18O of river water has variations from –7.80 to –7.13 ‰. The DO concentration varies from 0.3 to 8.4 mg/l. At first location (unpolluted), DO concentration is 8.4 mg/l and δ18O of dissolved oxygen is about 24‰ showing the gas exchange domination over photosynthesis and respiration. After mixing of sewerage water, DO concentration decreases to 5.8 mg/l and δ18O increases to 27.20 ‰ at 4 km downstream. The respiration dominates both gas exchange and photosynthesis. At 25 km downstream, the DO concentration is as low as 0.3 mg/l and δ18O of dissolved oxygen is around 24‰ showing that after traveling 25 km, the microbiological activity dies out and the dissolved oxygen again starts rebuilding its concentration through gas exchange. Here the concentration is very low but the δ18O is close to 24‰ showing that gas exchange is dominant over respiration and photosynthesis. At 50 km, the DO concentration becomes 6.7 mg/l and δ18O remains near to 24.00‰ showing gas exchange domination. Depleted values of δ13C show the effect of pollution. Where there is dominance of gas 13 exchange δ C values are near to the atmospheric CO2 value of about –8.00 ‰. A cruise of the Ravi river was also performed in the month of June, when the river was in medium flood. The samples were collected from 14 locations within a span of 50 km along the left bank and across the river at some locations. EC varies from 151 to 596 µs/cm, temperature from 27.6 to 30.9 oC, concentration of dissolved oxygen from 1.9 to 6.2 mg/l, COD from 4 to 107 mg/l, BOD from 2.7 to 23.9 mg/l and δ18O of DO ranges from 23.78 to 29.55 ‰. The results of dissolved oxygen for the cruise are presented in figure 1. The δ18O and dissolved oxygen concentrations were used to determine the ratio of community respiration (R) to gross photosynthesis (P) rates. R : P varies between 1.6 and 2.6 for the cruise of the Ravi River. The δ18O indicated the presence of photosynthetically produced oxygen, with the highest proportion occurring in unpolluted water. The δ18O, through determination of R:P, provides a means of quantifying the heterotrophic state of freshwaters. 10 30 8 DO 28 O -18 6 26 4 24 O of DO (‰) DO (mg/l) 18 2 22 δ 0 20 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 Distance (km) Fig. 1: The variation of dissolved oxygen concentration and δ18O of dissolved oxygen in Ravi River. 4 REFERENCES: [1] AGGARWAL, P.

Geological Survey, Nevada, USA eBangladesh Water Development Board, Dhaka, Bangladesh Groundwater is the main source of drinking water supply for over one hundred million inhabitants in Bangladesh. It is severely contaminated with arsenic, resulting in a major public health crisis for millions of people. It is now widely believed that the source of arsenic is geological in origin, not anthropogenic. But the actual release mechanisms are yet to be known. The young (Holocene) alluvial and deltaic deposits are most affected, whereas the older alluvial sediments in the north-west and the Pleistocene sediments of the uplifted Madhupur and Barind Tracts normally provide low arsenic water. Environmental isotopes like 2H, 18O, 13C, 3H and 14C are the most suitable tools for investigating a series of problems linked with the management of water resources in the alluvial and deltaic sediments of Bangladesh. Isotope Hydrology of Groundwater in Bangladesh: Implications for Characterisation and Mitigation of Arsenic in Groundwater (BGD/8/016), a Technical Cooperation Project sponsored by IAEA, carried out in I999-2000. Total 56 nos. water samples from shallow and deep tubewells, ranging in depth 10 to 335 meters, located mostly in south-east, southwest and north-west of the country were collected for hydro-chemical and isotopic analyses. Results of isotope techniques have provided adequate information on recharge conditions and age of groundwater in the basin, that is very important and open up prospects for further investigations using isotope techniques. Shallow groundwaters (<70 m) have oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon isotope patterns that are distinct from those of deep groundwaters. These isotopic patterns indicate that shallow groundwater is being continually recharged with a residence time of 10s of years. Deep groundwater may be either recharged on a long time scale of 100s or 1000s of years (Faridpur and Burir Char), or nor recharged at all with 20000-30000 years old water (Barisal). Arsenic contamination is found to be present mostly in shallow groundwater to depths of less than 70 meters (Fig. 1). Groundwater samples from deep wells containing elevated arsenic concentrations are found to contain water mostly from shallow aquifers and do not indicate arsenic contamination of deeper aquifers.

Pomeranian Bay as an ecotone is a transition zone between two different biocenoses, which is characterized by an increase in biodiversity and species density. Therefore, Pomeranian Bay is a destination of finding and reproductive migrations of fish from the rivers entered the area. The aim of the study was to compare parasitic fauna of two predatory fish species from the Pomeranian Bay, collected from the same fishing grounds at the same period. A total of 126 fish studied (53 perches and 73 zanders) were collected in the summer 2013. Parasitological examinations included: skin, fins, gills, vitreous humour and lens of the eye, mouth cavity, body cavity and internal organs. Apart from the prevalence and intensity of infection (mean, range) the parasite communities of both fish species were compared. European perch and zander were infected with parasites from five different taxonomic units. The most numerous parasites were Diplostomum spp. in European perch and Bucephalus polymorphus in zander. The prevalence of infection of European perch ranged from 5.7% ( Diphyllobothrium latum ) to 22.3% ( Diplostomum spp.) and for zander from 1.4% ( Ancyrocephalus paradoxus , Hysterothylacium aduncum ) to 12.3% ( Bucephalus polymorphus ).

Based on data of measured and natural runoff and suspended sediment load (SSL) in the WRB, the connections between runoff and SSL from the WRB and deposition in the LWR, the elevation of Tonggguan Hydrology Station, and deposition in the LYR are analyzed. For the compound effects of human activity and climate change in the WRB, the amount of deposition reduction in the LWR during 2000-2009 is about three times what it decreased dur- ing 1970-1979. For per square kilometers of soil conservation, the effect of human activities in the WRB on deposition in the LWR during period of 2000-09 is about four times that of the period of 1970-1979. As decreased runoff and SSL from the WRB, deposition in the LYR decreased during the periods of 1970-1979 and 1990-1999, while deposition in the LYR increased during the periods of 1980-1989 and 2000-2009. For the planned reservoir in the Jing River Basin, the decreased deposition in the LYR may be smaller than that of the LWR.

    Polish Geological Institute Special Papers, 15 (2004): 69–76 Proceedings of the Conference “Risks caused by the geodynamic phenomena in Europe” FLOODS IN POLAND FROM 1946 TO 2001 — ORIGIN, TERRITORIAL EXTENT AND FREQUENCY Andrzej DOBROWOLSKI1, Halina CZARNECKA1, Janusz OSTROWSKI1, Monika ZANIEWSKA1 Abstract. Based on the data concerning floods on the territory of Poland during the period 1946–2001, the reasons generating floods, the number of regional floods in the rivers catchment systems, and sites of local floods occurrence, were defined. Both types of floods: caused by riverbank overflows, and land flooding by rain or snow-melt water, were considered. In the most cases, the floods were caused by rainfall. They were connected with changes in the rainfall structure within Po- land. In each season of the year floods of various origin were observed. When the flood initiating factors appeared simulta- neously, the flood grew into a catastrophic size. In present analysis, for the first time in Poland, a large group of local floods has been distinguished. A special attention has been paid to floods caused by sudden flooding of the land (flash flood), including floods in the urban areas — more and more frequent during the recent years. The results of the analyses have provided important data for the assessment of the flood hazard in Poland, and for the creation of a complex flood control strategy for the whole country and/or for selected regions. Key words: flood, classification of floods, floods territorial extent, frequency of floods occurrence, torrential and rapid rain- fall, threat of life, material losses. Abstrakt.

A distributed hydrological model (SWAT), which is widely used both domestically and internationally, was selected to quantitatively analyze the impact of land use and climate change on runoff in this paper in Dawen River Basin, China. The calibration and validation results obtained at Daicunba and Laiwu hydrological stations yield R2 values of 0.83 and 0.80 and 0.73 and 0.69 and the Ens values of 0.79 and 0.76 and 0.71 and 0.72, respectively. Taking 1980-1990 as the reference period, the annual runoff increased by 288 million m3, which was caused by changes in the land use of basin from 1991 to 2004, whereas the annual runoff decreased by 132 million m3 due to climate change. Land use changed from 2005 to 2015, which resulted in an increase in annual runoff of 13 million m3, and annual changes in climate caused a decrease in annual runoff of 61 million m3. An extreme land use scenario simulation analysis shows that, compared to the current land use simulation in 2000, the runoff of cultivated land scenarios and forest land scenarios was reduced by 38.3% and 19.8%, respectively, and the runoff of grassland scenarios increased by 4.3%.
  • The Evaluation of Hydrodynamic Balance at the Wkra River Estuary

    The Evaluation of Hydrodynamic Balance at the Wkra River Estuary

    Vol. 4 Issue 2 December 2016 The evaluation of hydrodynamic balance at the Wkra River estuary Piotr Siwicki, Janusz Urbański, Leszek Hejduk, Jacek Gładecki Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW), Nowoursynowska 166, 02-787 Warsaw, Poland, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The river bed stability analysis at the Wkra estuary reach is presented in this paper. When a flood appears, channel and river bed erosion can reach a significant size. During such a situation, flow and water velocity exceed critical values for particular bed sediment grain sizes. This causes the breakage of bed armouring, and then bed mass motion begins. For the estimation of the sandy Wkra River bed the criteria of average velocity and bed armouring were applied with the use of ARMOUR software. The two Wkra River cross-sections at km 1+000 and km 3+200 distance were ana- lysed. The calculation of the characteristics of bed sediment velocities was performed on the basis of, among other factors, probable river flow data, longitudinal slope, and grain size distribution of the bed. The results of the calcula- tions were compared with average velocities in the analysed cross-sections. The results indicate the there is a threat to the stability of the Wkra River bed, especially during long-lasting high water stages. The prognosis of river bed stability loss performed by use of ARMOUR software shows that the bed armour breakage will take place in both considered cross-sections at relatively low water stages (about 40 cm), and mass motion of bed sediments in cross-section P-2 will occur at a flow of slightly lower thanQ 50% ,and in cross-section P-1 at flows greater thenQ 0,3%.

Quantifying WRCC can provide useful references on optimizing water resources allocation and guiding sustainable development. In this study, the WRCCs in both current and future periods were systematically quantified using set pair analysis (SPA), which was formulated to represent carrying grade and explore carrying mechanism. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, along with water resources development and utilization model, was employed to project future water resources scenarios. The proposed framework was tested on a case study of China’s Han River basin. A comprehensive evaluation index system across water resources, social economy, and ecological environment was established to assess the WRCC. During the current period, the WRCC first decreased and then increased, and the water resources subsystem performed best, while the eco-environment subsystem achieved inferior WRCC. The SWAT model projected that the amount of the total water resources will reach about 56.9 billion m3 in 2035s, and the water resources development and utilization model projected a rise of water consumption.

In such studies different approaches and different indicators can be used. The aim of this study is to determine changes in flow regime of the largest river in Poland—the Vistula, using new, more objectified coefficients and indices, based on data recorded in 22 gauges on the Vistula mainstream and 38 gauges on its tributaries in the multi-year period 1971–2010. The paper consists of three main parts: in the first part, in order to recognize changes in the flow regime characteristics along the Vistula, data from gauges located on the river mainstream were analyzed with the help of the theory of entropy. In the second part gauging stations on the Vistula mainstream and its tributaries were grouped; values of the newly introduced pentadic Pardé’s coefficient of flow (discharge) (PPC) were taken as the grouping criterion. In the third part of the study a novel method of determining river regime characteristics was applied: through the recognition of the temporal structure of hydrological phenomena and their changes in the annual cycle sequences of hydrological periods (characteristic phases of the hydrological cycle) on the Vistula River mainstream and its tributaries were identified and their occurrence in the yearly cycle was discussed.

    Taking Stock of Integrated River Basin Management in China Wang Yi, Li Lifeng Wang Xuejun, Yu Xiubo, Wang Yahua SCIENCE PRESS Beijing, China 2007 ISBN 978-7-03-020439-4 Acknowledgements Implementing integrated river basin management (IRBM) requires complex and systematic efforts over the long term. Although experts, scientists and officials, with backgrounds in different disciplines and working at various national or local levels, are in broad agreement concerning IRBM, many constraints on its implementation remain, particularly in China - a country with thousands of years of water management history, now developing at great pace and faced with a severe water crisis. Successful implementation demands good coordination among various stakeholders and their active and innovative participation. The problems confronted in the general advance of IRBM also pose great challenges to this particular project. Certainly, the successes during implementation of the project subsequent to its launch on 11 April 2007, and the finalization of a series of research reports on The Taking Stockof IRBM in China would not have been possible without the combined efforts and fruitful collaboration of all involved. We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of them. We should first thank Professor and President Chen Yiyu of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, who gave his valuable time and shared valuable knowledge when chairing the work meeting which set out guidelines for research objectives, and also during discussions of the main conclusions of the report. It is with his leadership and kind support that this project came to a successful conclusion. We are grateful to Professor Fu Bojie, Dr.
