The cause attributed to the point source situated in sample site I. The heavy metal in sediment contamination factors were very high for Zn (18.15), Hg (6.67), Pb (5.64) and considerable for Cd (2.6), Cu (2.54), Ni (1.72), C r (1.02), As (0.098).
Total volume of sediment in the whole reservoir was about 48 840 m3,the total wet-weight was about 54 027 tons and the total drought-weight was about 36 137 tons.
Investigation of the sediment showed that the mean concentrations of organic carbon and the mean total nitrogen decreased 17 percent and 36 percent respectively, compared with prior to sediment dredging. But the concentrations total phosphorus only decreased 3.33 percent.
The variables studied were transport of sand, underlying surface roughness, windblown sediment, wind-sand flow structure, soil mechanical composition and amount of wind erosion.
At a height of 0-20 cm, the height increased while the sediment discharge percent of sand flux decreased; there were significant differences in the sand flow formation under different land-use types.
At the same time, better correlative relationship between runoff and sediment production and rainfall and rainfall intensity were testified by multiple regression, but the correlation decreased gradually with the increase of canopy density of forest.
After a brief review about the problems of sediment deposition in irrigation canals and the general devices to reduce the quantity of suspended sediment entering the irrigation headworks, a layout based upon theory of circulating flow is proposed. By means of analysis of some existing data in engineering practice and theoritical treatment, circulating flow is proved to be efficient for reducing suspended sediment entering irrigation headworks, especially for those d>0.04mm, which usually c...
In this paper, the transportation of suspended sediment by circulating flow in river bends is discussed. Depending upon the distribution of the lateral velocity and suspended load in a vertical line, the equation of circulating flow loaded with suspensions was derived, and some problems of river processes were explained by means of it.
Tientsin New port,the main port of North China,is situated on the northern part of the subaqueous delta of the Hai-Ho.As the port is faced with silting problem,study of the source of silt is important for formulating measures to cope with the problem.From a detailed study of shoreline changes between New port and the mouth of the Hwangho,together with analysis of grain size,heavy mineral assemblage and clay minerals of sediments of this part of tidal fiats and shallow sea,it seems reasonable to conclu...
