Therefore, estimation of groundwater recharge is a key issue for groundwater development and management. In this study, the chloride mass-balance (CMB) method and the stream hydrograph separation method were used to quantify groundwater recharge in the Hailiutu River Basin. The results show that groundwater recharge estimated by the CMB is 89 mm/yr, which is similar to groundwater recharge estimated by the stream hydrograph separation method (78 - 82 mm/yr). The difference between the two methods may result from riparian vegetation transpiring water directly from the groundwater. The study indicates that the CMB method can produce reliable regional groundwater recharge. The results of the study can be used to make effective schemes of the groundwater management and development.","PeriodicalId":6425,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Water Resource and Environmental Protection","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72994275","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}

This paper presents GENESIS (GENeric European Sustainable Information Space for environment) as a solution in developing a high level interoperable system, which assists integrating crosscutting GIS based environmental data and systems over many scientific domains. Pilot experimentation of developing service-oriented applications under GENESIS is applying a study on impacts of air pollution on people's health in Great London.","PeriodicalId":6425,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Water Resource and Environmental Protection","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78203146","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}

However, the in situ investigation of radioactive isotope activities near Tianjin Port show a non-steady sedimentation feature, which is inconsistent with the results from the simulated results and could be a result of frequent human disturbance.","PeriodicalId":6425,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Water Resource and Environmental Protection","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72642554","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}

The new pattern of plastic mulch film, it's called “Environmental Degradable Mulch Film” (EDMF), which successfully achieves degradation of appearance from pieces to powders. Therefore the effect of polyethylene powder products of EDMF on physical property and chemical property of soil becomes new hotspot of discussion. This study made use of four kinds of molecular weight to simulate polyethylene powder products of EDMF as soil additive of potted soybean, tested total P, efficient P, organic matter, acid phosphatase of soil in soybean developmental periods. The results showed that the total P content of experimental groups which added polyethylene powder products of EDMF were lower than control group, and the max decrement was 25.5%; efficient P content, organic matter content and acid phosphatase activity had no significant differences between experimental groups and control group in soil, and there were relativity among all of them. Efficient P and acid phosphatase activity, efficient P and organic matter were significant positive correlation (R=0.9982 R=0.9985); organic matter and acid phosphatase were negative correlation (R=-0.9966).
