Using remote sensing data, we can survey many water bodies simultaneously and evaluate water quality conditions with greater frequency. The combination of existing and historical water quality data with remote sensing imagery into a unified database allows researchers to improve remote sensing algorithms and improves understanding of mechanisms causing blooms. We report on the development of a water quality database \"EstuarySAT\" which combines data from the Sentinel-2 multi-spectral instrument (MSI) remote sensing platform and water quality data throughout the coastal USA. EstuarySAT builds upon an existing database and set of methods developed by the creators of AquaSat, whose region of interest is primarily larger freshwater lakes in the USA. Following the same basic methods, EstuarySAT utilizes open-source tools: R v. 3.24+ (statistical software), Python (dynamic programming environment), and Google Earth Engine (GEE) to develop a combined water quality data and remote sensing imagery database (EstuarySAT) for smaller coastal estuarine and freshwater tidal riverine systems. EstuarySAT fills a data gap that exists between freshwater and estuarine water bodies. We are able to evaluate smaller systems due to the higher spatial resolution of Sentinel-2 (10 m pixel image resolution) vs. the Landsat platform used by AquaSat (30 m pixel resolution). Sentinel-2 also has a more frequent revisit (overpass) schedule of every 5 to 10 days vs. Landsat 7 which is every 17 days. EstuarySAT incorporates publicly available water quality data from 23 individual water quality data sources spanning 1984-2021 and spatially matches them with Sentinel-2 imagery from 2015-2021. EstuarySAT currently contains 299,851 matched observations distributed across the coastal USA. EstuarySAT's primary focus is on collecting chlorophyll data; however, it also contains other ancillary water quality data, including temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, dissolved organic carbon, and turbidity (where available). As compared to other ocean color databases used for developing predictive chlorophyll algorithms, this coastal database contains spectral profiles more typical of CDOM-dominated systems. This database can assist researchers and managers in evaluating algal bloom causes and predicting the occurrence of future blooms.</p>","PeriodicalId":23788,"journal":{"name":"Water","volume":"16 19","pages":"2721"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11534012/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142583740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study investigated physicochemical parameters of surface water in the upper segment of River Mahaweli, which provides drinking water to the Nuwara Eliya and Kandy districts of Sri Lanka. River surface water from 15 intakes and treated water from 14 Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) were tested for pH, water temperature, turbidity, EC, COD, 6 anions, 21 cations, 3 pesticides, and 30 antibiotics once every 3 months from June 2022 to July 2023. Except for turbidity and iron concentrations, all other parameters were within the permissible range as per the Sri Lanka Standard Specification for Potable Water (SLS 614:2013). The uppermost Kotagala WTP raw water had a high concentration of iron due to runoff from areas with abundant iron-bearing minerals. Turbidity increased as the river flowed downstream, reaching its highest value of 13.43 NTU at the lowermost Haragama. Four intakes had raw surface water suitable for drinking as per the Water Quality Index (WQI). Pollution increased gradually towards downstream mainly due to agricultural runoff, industrial effluents, and urbanization. Poor water quality at the upstream Thalawakale-Nanuoya intake was due to highly contaminated effluent water coming from Lake Gregory in Nuwara Eliya. Cluster analysis categorized WTP locations in the river segment into 3 clusters as low, moderate, and high based on contaminations. Principal component analysis revealed that the significance of the 41.56% variance of the raw water was due to the pH and the presence of heavy metals V, Cr, Ni, Rb, Co, Sr, and As. All treated water from 15 WTPs had very good to excellent quality. In general, heavy metal contamination was low as indicated by the heavy metal pollution index (HPI) and heavy metal evaluation index (HEI). The treatment process could remove up to 94.7% of the turbidity. This is the first attempt to cluster the river catchment of the Mahaweli River based on physicochemical parameters of river water. We present here the land-use pattern-based pollution of the river and efficacy of the water treatment process using the Mahaweli River Basin as a case study. Regular monitoring and treatment adjustments at identified points are recommended to maintain the delivery of safe drinking water.","PeriodicalId":23788,"journal":{"name":"Water","volume":"117 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142254565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the area is prone to frequent strong earthquakes. The areas surrounding dam sites typically have deep overburden, and the liquefaction of saturated sand foundations by earthquakes poses significant safety risks to the construction of high dams in the southwest. The effects of liquefaction and reinforcing measures on the foundations of rockfill dams on liquefiable overburden under seismic action are currently the subject of somewhat unsystematic investigations. The paper utilizes the total stress and effective stress methods, based on the equivalent linear model, to perform numerical simulations on the overburden foundations of rockfill dams. The study explores how factors such as dam height, overburden thickness, liquefiable layer depth, liquefiable layer thickness, ground motion intensity, and seismic wave characteristics affect the liquefaction of the overburden foundations. Additionally, it examines how rockfill dams impact the dynamic response, considering the liquefaction effects in the overburden. The results show that although the total stress method, which ignores the cumulative evolution of pore pressure during liquefaction, can reveal the basic response trend of the dam, its results in predicting the acceleration response are significantly biased compared to those of the effective stress method, which comprehensively considers the cumulative changes in liquefaction pore pressure. Specifically, when the effect of soil liquefaction is considered, the predicted acceleration response is reduced compared to that when liquefaction is not considered, with the reduction ranging from 4% to 30%; with increases in the thickness and burial depth of the liquefiable layer, the effective stress method considering liquefaction significantly reduces the predicted peak acceleration; the effect of liquefiable soil on the attenuation of the speed response is more sensitive to the low-frequency portion of the seismic wave. The study’s findings are a significant source of reference for the planning and building of rockfill dams on liquefiable overburden.","PeriodicalId":23788,"journal":{"name":"Water","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142254618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly in tropical island regions, due to the expansion of human activities and land use/cover changes (LUCCs), the risk of SE has been exacerbated. Combining the RUSLE with machine learning methods, SE spatial patterns, their driving forces and the mechanisms of how LUCCs affect SE, were illustrated. Additionally, the potential impacts of future LUCCs on SE were simulated by using the PLUS model. The main results are as follows: (1) Due to LUCCs, the average soil erosion modulus (SEM) decreased significantly from 108.09 t/(km2·a) in 2000 to 106.75 t/(km2·a) in 2020, a reduction of 1.34 t/(km2·a), mainly due to the transformation of cropland to forest and urban land. (2) The dominant factor affecting the spatial pattern of SE is the LS factor (with relative contributions of 43.9% and 45.17%), followed by land use/cover (LUC) (the relative contribution is 28.46% and 34.89%) in 2000 and 2020, respectively. (3) Three kinds of future scenarios simulation results indicate that the average SEM will decrease by 2.40 t/(km2·a) under the natural development scenario and by 1.86 t/(km2·a) under the ecological protection scenario by 2060. However, under the cropland protection scenario, there is a slight increase in SEM, with an increase of 0.08 t/(km2·a).

Among the possible explanations for the lighter isotopic composition of the lower aquifer waters is the influence of paleolakes formed during the wetter periods of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene that recharged the underlying aquifers. The geological structure of the Salar, including faults and the distribution of low-permeability layers, has played a determining role in the system’s hydrodynamics. This study emphasizes the need for continuous and detailed monitoring of the isotopic composition to assess the sustainability of the water resource in response to brine extraction and future climate changes.

The research employs a combination of data analysis and the utilisation of evaporation models in order to estimate the consumption of water by swimming pools. The findings indicate that hotels in the higher categories, particularly those with three or four stars, contribute a notable proportion of the total water consumption due to their larger pool sizes and higher guest numbers. The study underscores the necessity for the implementation of sustainable water management strategies, particularly in the context of climate change. It recommends the utilisation of pool water-saving technologies as potential solutions.

However, during the simulation process, matrix inversion calculations generate a large amount of computational data and consume significant amounts of time, posing challenges for practical applications. To address this issue, this paper proposes a parallel gradient calculation algorithm based on GPU hardware and the CUDA Toolkit library and compares it with the EPANET model and a model based on CPU hardware and the Armadillo library. The results show that the GPU-based model not only achieves a precision level very close to the EPANET model, reaching 99% accuracy, but also significantly outperforms the CPU-based model. Furthermore, during the simulation, the GPU architecture is able to efficiently handle large-scale data and achieve faster convergence, significantly reducing the overall simulation time. Particularly in handling larger-scale water distribution networks, the GPU architecture can improve computational efficiency by up to 13 times. Further analysis reveals that different GPU models exhibit significant differences in computational efficiency, with memory capacity being a key factor affecting performance. GPU devices with larger memory capacity demonstrate higher computational efficiency when processing large-scale water distribution networks. This study demonstrates the advantages of GPU acceleration technology in the simulation of large-scale urban water distribution networks and provides important theoretical and technical support for practical applications in this field.
