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 Water Balance of China and Its Large River Basins
    Hydrology for the Water Management of Large Riva- Basins (Proceedings of the Vienna Symposium, August 1991). IAHS Publ. no. 201, 1991. THE WATER BALANCE OF CHINA AND ITS LARGE RIVER BASINS LIU GUOWEI AND GUI YUENG Nanjing Institute of Hydrology and Water Resources China ABSTRACT The Yangtze River, Yellow River and other five large river basins are the largest ones in China, with a total area amount­ ing to about 4 333 687 km2 and covering both humid and arid/semi- arid regions. Based on the computation of atmospheric vapour transport, precipitation, évapotranspiration and runoff, water bal­ ance models for the whole country and its seven large river basins have already been developed. Through analyses with the models, some characteristics of hydrologie cycles in the river basins, includ­ ing the origins and routes of atmospheric moisture flux, the water circulation coefficients, etc., have been determined. The results provide a hydrologie basis for water resources assessment and management in China. INTRODUCTION China is located in the East Asian monsoon region, where the hydrologie cycle presents a monsoon climate regime. Every year in May, with the monsoon onset, the rainy season begins in the region south of 25 °N in China. During June to July, the rain band advances to the south of 35°N, and in the whole country the rainy season has developed by August. From November to March of the next year, it is a dry season, and there is a transient season from April to September. The whole country can be divided into three hydrologic-climatic zones: humid, semi-arid and arid zone.
