The main results of studying Russian lakes in the Academy of Sciences over three centuries are presented. In the 18th century, the Academy of Sciences organized first “physical” expeditions for studying lakes, lake regions, as well as the Aral and Caspian seas. In 1916, a Commission for Studying Lake Baikal was set up at the Imperial St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. After 1917, the studies of lakes expanded considerably because of the practical needs of the country’s development. In 1928, the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences transformed the Baikal expedition into the Baikal Limnological Station. In 1944, the Laboratory of Limnology was created in Leningrad, and in 1971, the Institute of Limnology, of the USSR Academy of Sciences was created. In the 1970s–1980s, comprehensive studies of lakes and lake–river systems were carried out in the European part of the USSR along the design line of the redistribution of the water resources in the country. In 1970–1980, USSR Academy of Sciences participated in solving global problems of limnology—eutrophication, acidification, and pollution of lakes. In the late XX–early XXI centuries, special attention was paid to the assessment of the state and the development of forecasts of changes in the ecosystems of water bodies under various climatic and anthropogenic impacts. Monographs were published, generalizing the history of lakes studies in various parts of the country, and complex atlases of large lakes in Russia were compiled. The discovery of periglacial Lake Vostok in the Antarctic, and the obtained scientific results are outstanding scientific achievements in the late XX century. It is shown that lake studies by the Russian Academy of Sciences have contributed much to the basic science and to solving practical problems of the country’s economy, and are significant for the development of problems of continental hydrology.</p>","PeriodicalId":49368,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141567071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

In this study, an unmanned aerial vehicle was used to sample 204 sites on the surface of a gravel bar in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, China. Photogrammetry was used to generate digital elevation model data for the bar. Based on the calculation results of a two-dimensional river hydrodynamic model, clear distribution maps of the flow and grain-size fields were obtained. In addition, the correlation between the hydrodynamic and grain-size indicators was discussed, and a relational equation between the Froude number and median grain size was derived. Finally, the effect of topographic changes on the grain-size distribution was analyzed. The results showed that the grain size at the head of the gravel bar was larger than that at the tail, influenced by the scouring of the flow; coarsening of the gravel at the edge of the bar bend was also evident. A positive correlation was found between <span>({{D}_{{50}}})</span>, flow velocity, and the Froude number. The sorting coefficient, <span>({{S}_{0}})</span>, exhibited a negative correlation with the flow velocity and Froude number. A positive correlation was found between grain size variability indicator <span>({{C}_{{v}}})</span> and topographic variability indicator <span>({{C}_{h}})</span>. The variability in the grain-size distribution was the highest near areas with more drastic topographic variations. The bar surfaces exhibited a pattern of coarse-grained tops and fine-grained pools. The results of this study contribute to further understanding the geomorphology of gravel bars and may help investigate the spawning sites of organisms on the bar surface sensitive to bottom particle size.</p>","PeriodicalId":49368,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources","volume":"2015 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141567113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Sediment, entering the reservoirs of the dams with the water flow due to human interference in the dam catchment area, gradually destroys the functional storage through a deposition. Sedimentation threatens the sustainability of all reservoirs in the absence of adequate prevention and mitigation measures. Deposition of sediments in reservoirs can also affect the safe and proper operation of water intakes and bottom outlets belonging to the vital outlet structures. Turbidity currents are among the main impacts on dam reservoir sedimentation. One technique to decrease the impact of more sedimentation is to use bottom outlet gates that preserve the reservoir’s useable volume. This procedure may affect the quality of water exiting the dam. The present study experimentally investigated the venting of turbidity current of lock exchange with varying concentrations on the rigid bed, while there were two outlet gates with various levels and diameters at the same time. According to the available information, in the case of <span>({{Z0} mathord{left/ {vphantom {{Z0} H}} right. kern-0em} H} = 0.3)</span>, the average value of the concentrated input current was equal to the output concentration, which is the best level for the outlet gate installation based on the primary experimental conditios.

The comparison of DLS intensity in centrifugates and 0.45-µm filtrates was used to calculate the native density of pelitic and coarse colloidal particles of river suspension, which made it possible to correlate the centrifugation regimes with the size of settling particles within the range from 0.45 to 3 µm. Chemical analysis of supernatants of river water, obtained at different centrifugation regimes was used to evaluate the distribution of chemical elements between dissolved/colloidal (&lt;0.45 µm), coarse-colloidal (0.45–1 µm), and pelite (1–3 µm) fractions. A significant linear relationship was found between the DLS intensity and the concentrations in centrifugates of Fe, Al, Ti, Th, Sc, REE, i.e., chemical elements with a high fraction of coarse colloidal and suspended forms, which confirms the possibility to assess the concentration of colloidal particles in centrifugates by the intensity of DLS.

The methodological base of the hydrological simulation was the widely known HBV conceptual model, in which the actual evapotranspiration is associated with the current state of a storage, which simulates the dynamics of soil moisture content. The objects of the study were 18 catchments with areas from 2.4 to 755 km², located within the former Primorskaya Water-Balance station, the data of which were used in calculations of potential evapotranspiration and simulations of runoff.

The analysis of model sensitivity to the input potential evaportranspiration showed that the use of physically based methods to calculate the potential evapotranspiration has no general effect on the efficiency of runoff hydrograph simulation of the studied objects.

The present study is configured to realize the alterations in bedload transportation and in bedform at confluence channel in relation to particular hydrological occurrences. It is anticipated that the patterns of the flow attributes following the confluence to be different from those in the conditions reported in other publication. Therefore, this article concisely reports the various flow aspects, examines the corresponding river bed patterns, and provides a brief description of the different flow properties. On the basis of field findings in response to fluctuation in the flow of contributory tributaries, the recorded morphological and sedimentological changes are explained. To accomplish this, bedload transport, bed surveys, and particle size distribution measurements were carried out at the study site during different hydrological seasons at intervals of two months from January 2018 to March 2019. The three major goals of this work were to comprehend the symmetry between two confluence channels, estimate bedload transport, and investigate the consequences of net fluvial behavior on bedform dynamics. The short-term impacts of stream flow irregularity on channel morphology and particle structures were discovered by repeated transect studies and bed material sampling at a small asymmetrical river junction. Results show that the confluence involves the shifting in the scour region, frequent erosion and deposition of sediments, and bar development at the downstream confluence as flow rate fluctuates following the hydrological changeability in the confluence channels. The average bedload at the confluence appears to be irregular in favor of the tributary, since two-thirds of the total bedload was carried across the shallow zone of the cross-section. A high speed digital camera was used to detect sand ripples, and video technique was utilized to obtain statistics on the presence of ripple geometries. Asymmetric two-dimensional ripples were observed in relatively calm weather conditions and in moderate winds. It was discovered that ripples generated by the two-dimensional flow were supplanted by flatbed circumstances and the normal two-dimensional wash-out ripples after the medium wind periods, demonstrating that the presence of a combined flow increases the induced bed shear stress.</p>","PeriodicalId":49368,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140574774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
