Endogenous contamination from the newly submerged sediment may have an impact on the water quality of the Danjiangkou Reservoir, the water source of the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. In this study, in situ sediment samples were collected at different locations (Guojiashan (DJK1), Kongqueyuan (DJK2), Shijiagou (DJK3), Shiqiao Wharf (DJK4), and Songgang Wharf (DJK5) from the north to the south) of the Danjiangkou Reservoir and the upstream tributary using a columnar sediment sampler and statically cultured in laboratory, and the distribution and release of endogenous N and P from the sediment were investigated based on a double-membrane diffusion model. The results showed that the P contents in the main reservoir and the upstream tributary followed the order of inorganic phosphorus ðIPÞ > organic phosphorus ðOPÞ > calcium − phosphorus ðCa − PÞ > iron − phosphorus ðFe − PÞ > labile phosphorus ðLPÞ. IP accounted for the largest proportion (47.10-59.70%) of total phosphorus (TP), while LP accounted for only a small proportion (0.10-0.90%) of TP. There is a significant difference in the spatial distribution of P at different sampling points, especially for the OP content (226.90 mg·kg-1) ffi ff + with a coe cient of variation of 26.90%. The contents of di erent forms of P and NH4 -N decreased from the upstream tributary to the main reservoir, which was mainly attributed to the land use type. In the vertical distribution, the contents of ff + 3- di erent forms of P in DJK4 and DJK5 decreased with the increase of sediment depth. The contents of NH4 -N and PO4 -P in the sediment interstitial water of DJK4 and DJK5 were higher than those in the overlying water. In addition, the contents of + 3- NH4 -N and PO4 -P were higher in DJK5 than that in DJK4. The static culture experiments showed that N and P were mainly + 3- released from the sediment-overlying water interface to the overlying water. The release rate of NH4 -N and PO4 -P ranged from 13.08 mg·(m2·d)-1 to 21.39 mg·(m2·d)-1 and from 3.06 mg·(m2·d)-1 to 6.02 mg·(m2·d)-1, and the release amount calculated based on the double-membrane diffusion model was 1:17 × 103 t·a-1 and 0:53 × 103 t·a-1, respectively. Thus, endogenous contamination from the newly submerged land is an important factor affecting the water quality of the Danjiangkou Reservoir. 2 Journal of Sensors 1.

No significant trend is detected for annual runoff at all stations at >95% confidence level. Changes of sediment loads, however, demonstrate different pictures in the Yangtze River basin. The sediment loads are in increasing trend in Pingshan station- the most upstream station on the Yangtze River basin (this increasing trend is significant at >95% confidence level after about 1990), but are in decreasing trend at other stations (including stations in the tributaries studied in this paper).

  • Greater China Factbook (2007) —————
    ————— THE GREATER CHINA FACTBOOK (2007) ————— PART II: TTHE CCHINESE PPROVINCES The provinces of China today Currently, there exist two states in China: the PRC and the ROC. The PRC consists of the provinces on the Chinese mainland and Hainan; the ROC controls Taiwan and several islets close to PRC’s Fujian Province. Though Taiwan does not belong to the PRC, the PRC regards Taiwan as a “renegade province” and part of the PRC. Thus, Taiwan’s inclusion in descriptions of China’s administrative organization reflects Beijing’s point of view, not the author’s. Today, China has 23 provinces (sheng 省)—one province (Taiwan) not part of the PRC; 5 Autonomous Regions (AR—zizhiqu 自治區); 4 special municipalities (zhixiashi 直轄市); and 2 Special Administrative Regions (SAR—tebie xingzhengqu 特別行政區). At the time of Mao Ze- dong’s death in September 1976, the PRC consisted of 21 provinces, 5 autonomous regions and 3 special municipalities—Hainan was part of Guangdong Province until April 1988, Chongqing was part of Sichuan Province until March 1997, Hong Kong was a British crown colony until July 1997, and Macau was a Portuguese possession until December 1999. The 5 Autonomous Regions were established after WW II—Guangxi in March 1958, Inner Mongolia in May 1947, Ningxia in October 1958, Tibet in September 1965, and Xinjiang in October 1955. Guangxi is an AR of the Chuang/Zhuang nationality (zhuang zu 壯族), Ningxia of the Chinese Muslims/Hui (huizu 回族), and Xinjiang of the Uighurs (weiwuer zu 維吾爾族). Additionally, 5 Special Economic Zones (SEZ—jingji tequ 經濟特區) were established in 1980 that are economic units but not provinces/regions/municipalities: Shenzhen 深圳 (Guang- dong Province), Shantou 汕頭 (Guangdong Province), Zhuhai 珠海 (Guangdong Province), Xiamen 廈門 (Fujian Province) and the whole of Hainan Province.
