Irrational developing of rare earth mine in Chongdonggou watershed,Xinfeng County,induced to serious sediment silting in the river channel,and the total silting sediment was 30 193 t in the 7 500 m river channel estimated by measuring the silting section. Based on the sediment delivery ratio,soil loss in the whole watershed was 3 500 t/km~2,and soil erosive radius was more than 1 150 t/(km~2·a).
Serious sediment silt in the reservoir not only made Tongguan riverbed rise rapidly from 323.4m to 328.1m after two years of operation of Sanmenxia reservoir, but also caused environment seriously deteriorated in the following drainage basins upstream of Tongguan reaches as the middle reaches of the Yellow River, the lower reaches of Weihe river and Beiluohe river.
A great number of soil and water conservation engineering, constructed with huge investments at home and abroad, have performed giant effects on the protection of land and ecology resources, the development of water conservancy, electric power and production, etc.. However, not a few engineerings make greater disasters when they bring single interest, for instance, they make land salinization, serious sediment deposition and the worsening of ecological environment. The subjective cause inducing ...
The economical development is prosperous in Taiwan recently. The constructing of golf courses is also aroused. There are about fifty golf courses increased in recent .five years and the total area of eighty four golf courses is n29I hm2, including the new increased fifty. Because Taiwan is a tropical island and most of tile hillslope land is steep. Nevertheless, the plane area is densely populated and farmed thus the land for constructing golf courses is extremely limited. For the demand of the golf courses...
The Zhijinguan Project constructed in 1973 is an interbasin diversion project, The project had serious sediment problem because of the simple and crude facilities. So, the project was forced to be reconstructed according to the results from model tests in 1988. Since the last five years, the unfavourable situation has been improved by using guiding, contraction, training works and lateral flood releasing measures, and the effects of less deposition, less sand entering, more inflow and more power...
