In recent years, an increasing number of researchers have highlighted the significance of case studies in understanding LUCC patterns and processes. The Tibetan Plateau ecosystem is a typical fragile ecosystem that is extremely difficult to restore once it is damaged. Thus, studies on LUCC and its effects on the environment have great theoretical and practical significance. In this study, LUCC and changes in ecosystem services in Naidong County on the Tibetan Plateau, China between 1988 and 2000 are investigated. LANDSAT Thematic Mapper (TM) of 1998 and Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) images of 2000 are used to detect LUCC, and then changes in the values of ecosystem services delivered by each land category are investigated. Finally, the contribution of various ecosystem functions to the overall value of ecosystem services is discussed. The results show that the enhancement of forest areas is the most prominent characteristic of change in land use, specifically the conversion from 659.23 ha of wetlands, 501.51 ha of grasslands, and 163.07 ha of desert to forests from 1988 to 2000 in study area. The total value of ecosystem services in Naidong County declined from yuan 1655.16 million to yuan 1640.21 million between 1988 and 2000. This decrease can be largely attributed to the loss of wetlands (valued at yuan 36.58 million), whereas the ecosystem services value of forests increased by yuan 25.60 million during that period. The sensitivity analysis revealed that the contributions of gas regulation, soil formation and erosion control, biological diversity, and raw materials to the total value of ecosystem services increased over the 12-year period. Moreover, the contributions of waste treatment, water conservation, climate regulation, recreation and culture, and food production significantly decreased during the same period.","PeriodicalId":6394,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Geomatics for Integrated Water Resource Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75215644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical and trend analysis of surface water quality from Xi'an moat river have been performed to provide a framework for sustainable water resources management. The trend analysis was performed using the non-parametric Spearman correlation and tested for statistical significance using the Student's t-test. Weekly surface water quality data from 28 stations on Xi'an Moat River have been analyzed. Apart from the statistical and trend analyses, the quality of the Xi'an moat river was assessed for other urban uses, according to the national, Environmental quality standards for surface water (GB 3838-2002). The important information has been gained from this analysis, especially on the identification of significant temporal and spatial trends of water quality parameters and the status of river water quality according to the water quality standards. The analysis indicated that the quality of the river water is, on average fair, and the river water could be used with caution for water quality standard for landscape and recreation area purposes.","PeriodicalId":6394,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Geomatics for Integrated Water Resource Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72905976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then the conversion models of soil stable infiltration characteristics at different depths were established. The results showed that soil stable infiltration characteristics at different depths were multifractal. The spatial variabilities of soil stable infiltration rates at the depths of 30cm and 50cm were mainly caused by those of clay content, organic matter content and soil moisture content at the depth of 10cm at point scale. The multi-scale analysis results showed that the soil stable infiltration rates at the depths of 30cm and 50cm had the most significant correlation to soil moisture content at the depth of 10cm, soil bulk density, organic matter content and total N content. Two conversion models of soil stable infiltration characteristics at the depths of 30cm and 50cm were established with smaller computational errors, based on multifractal theory. The correlation coefficients of two models were 0.996 and 0.958 respectively, corresponding to RMSE of 0.048 and 0.050.","PeriodicalId":6394,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Geomatics for Integrated Water Resource Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76327398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, conventional water treatment processes and methods have high technique requirement. What's more, the operation, maintenance and management of the processes are often complicated, it is only suitable for large-scale and centralized water treatment mode, thus finding the appropriate rainwater treatment process is what we need to solve immediately. Considering that the quality, seasonality, spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the rainwater is unstable, we remove the pollutants by using hydrocyclone desander-artificial ecological sewage interception system-rough filtration-slow filtration process. Practical application shows that this process has a good removal effect of turbidity, chroma, organic compounds, N-NH4, bacteria and other microbiology indexes. Also, this process has the characters of low investment cost, low maintenance cost which eases the operation. All indexes of effluent can meet the Grade Standard of Drinking Water Quality in China.
