    OCTOBER 2019 A N E T A L . 2057 Utilizing Precipitation and Spring Discharge Data to Identify Groundwater Quick Flow Belts in a Karst Spring Catchment LIXING AN Tianjin Key Laboratory of Wireless Mobile Communications and Power Transmission, Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin, China XINGYUAN REN National Marine Data and Information Service, Tianjin, China YONGHONG HAO Tianjin Key Laboratory of Water Resources and Environment, Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin, China TIAN-CHYI JIM YEH Tianjin Key Laboratory of Water Resources and Environment, Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin, China, and Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences, The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona BAOJU ZHANG Tianjin Key Laboratory of Wireless Mobile Communications and Power Transmission, Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin, China (Manuscript received 4 January 2019, in final form 30 April 2019) ABSTRACT In karst terrains, fractures and conduits often occur in clusters, forming groundwater quick flow belts, which are the major passages of groundwater and solute transport. We propose a cost-effective method that utilizes precipitation and spring discharge data to identify groundwater quick flow belts by the multitaper method (MTM). In this paper, hydrological processes were regarded as the transformation of precipitation signals to spring discharge signals in a karst spring catchment. During the processes, karst aquifers played the role of signal filters. Only those signals with high energy could penetrate through aquifers and reflect in the spring discharge, while other weak signals were filtered out or altered by aquifers. Hence, MTM was applied to detect and reconstruct the signals that penetrate through aquifers. Subsequently, by analyzing the reconstructed signals of precipitation with those of spring discharge, we acquired the hydraulic response time and identified the quick flow belts.

    Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project Conducted by China Office

    Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project conducted by China Office: Month, 201X Country Name The Project on Eco-environment Rehabilitation and Poverty Reduction in Yanmenguan Region, People’s Republic of China Shanxi Province I. Project Outline Yanmenguan Region, Shanxi Province, is located in the Loess Plateau in the Northern China. It is a region of arid sandy terrace where rain-fed farming is the major style of agriculture and poor population is concentrated. In lands where reclamation reached to mountain summits, soil eroded after every heavy rainfall in summer, and this reduced land productivity further accelerated poverty. In 2001, the Shanxi provincial government proposed the Yanmenguan Ecological Livestock Economic Zone Construction Background Plan with the goal of improving ecological environment and of farmers’ livelihood. By mobilizing budget at the state, provincial and county levels, this plan intended to increase the share of livestock farming, protect soil surface through cultivation of perennial plants and promote grass-fed livestock farming. Nevertheless, this region lacked human resources capable of initiating and implementing the above-mentioned plan, as well as grass seeds, livestock, and initial investment cost for livestock-house construction, causing major delays on transition from agriculture to livestock farming. 1. Overall Goal: To diffuse the model system created in the project, improve the ecological environment, and to improve livelihood of the farmers in the Yanmenguan Region. Objectives of the 2. Project Purpose: To construct a model system(Note) for improvement of both ecological environment Project and livelihood of farmers and to establish a system for diffusion in the Yanmenguan Region.

Identification of nitrate sources is important for the management of rivers. In this study, stable isotopes (δ15N and δ18O) and a Bayesian model (stable isotope analysis in R, SIAR) were applied to identify nitrate sources and estimate the proportional contributions of multiple nitrate sources in the upstream of Fenhe River Reservoir that serves as a source of drinking water in Shanxi Province of North China. *e results showed that the 86.4% of total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in the water samples exceeded the guided values of the Chinese Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard (GB 3838-2002). *e influent of tributary and discharges of sewage caused the severe nitrogen pollution. SIAR was used to estimate the proportional contribution of three nitrate sources (sewage, inorganic fertilizer, and soil nitrogen).
