    There are many shortages of the parameter optimization for Van Genuchten equation nowadays. According to the theoretic analysis, this essay gets the result of the monotonic function based on Van Genuchten, which means unipolar ualues function. And we can identify Van Genuchten equation parameter by using pattern search algorithm which is good for parial search ability. The illustrative examples and tolerance analysis show that pattern search algorithm for getting Van Genuchten is easy, fast, flexible and accurate. It provides a new way for solving Van Genuchten equation.

    Since the late 1980s, Kaqun diversion, Wufu headwork and Minsheng headwork has been built in the Yarkand River Basin. The completion and operation of these hydraulic projects not only improve the water management conditions ofthe Yarkand River, but also lead to some changes of current diversion situation and the consistency of flood series observed in the hydrological stations below the Kaqun Station. In order to calculate the designed flood peak discharge of the control node in flood control project designing, the relative attenuation rate are calculated according to the diversion and recession data observed by the diversion and recession channels between the hydrological stations firstly, and then we make the returning calculation of the observed peak discharge of the hydrological station below the outlet of the Yarkand River Basin and finally we get the designed flood peak discharge.

    Water yield of single wells in low hilly areas in the mid-west is generally below 100m3/d, which occupies 80.8% of the total area of red beds confined water; water yield of single wells in central mountain areas is between 500 m3/d to 1000 m3/d., which accounts for 9.2%; the other watery zone dispersely distributed in alar part and transition position of anticline and syncline in red beds confined water region. Red beds confined water abandonment mainly depends on the combination condition of ore character,tectonic position,topography,geomorphology and precipitation distribution. Tectonic conditions play a leading role, which directly controls the formaton of crack growth degree and structure benefitting for groundwater occurrence. condition of ore character is the foundation of red beds concined water occurrence. tectonic position.Topography,eomorphology and precipitation distribution are important factors that control groundwater replenishment,transport,reservation and enrichment in this area.

    Wavelet denoising and smooth and steady time series prediction is widely used in forecasting, but seldom used in predicting precipitation . This paper is an attempt to use the smooth and steady time series prediction based on wavelet denosing in precipitation prediction. The results show that the method can effectively improve the accuracy of precipitation forecasting. Based on the rainfall data during 1971 to 2006 in Dandong, the model for predicting precipitation is established. The computational results show that the prediction models in this paper are simpler and more accurate than the basic smooth and steady time series prediction model. An effective way for forecasting precipitation is provided. It has practical significance to disaster prevention and mitigation.

    The updated SWAT is used on Yangshudang watershed in Zhanghe Irrigation System for nitrogen and phosphorus loss simulation in different hydrological years. The results show that rainfall is the key factor for nitrogen and phosphorus losses,there is a very close relationship between annual rainfall and the yearly losses of nitrogen and phosphorus. During the year,the losses of nitrogen and phosphorus vary as the amount of rainfall changes in different months,and they come to the peak value at the same time.In addition,the methods of using fertilizers also affect nitrogen and phosphorus losses. Therefore, we should manage water and fertilizer more carefully during flood seasons. In this way, we can reduce the losses of nitrogen and phosphorus, increase the ratio of using fertilizers , and reduce the harmfulness of non-point pollution.

Considering viscosity varies with time, the average of different times grout viscosities is used as grouting parameters. The integral method of mathematical theory is used to obtain the average of grout viscosities. Formulas for calculating the spherical and cylindrical diffusion radius of grout with gradually variational viscosity grouting sand and gravel layers are deduced. The application scope of the formulas is analyzed and the algorithm for solving this formulas is proposed. The derivation formulas are used in practical projects. Practice has proved that the newly deduced formulas using the average of different times grout viscosities as grouting parameters and considering the effect of change in grout viscosity are more reasonable and more practical.

    Pressure and discharge variations cause low service performances and negatively impact farm sprinkler or micro-irrigation systems in pressurized irrigation systems. Assuming a steady state approach, many models simulate pressurized irrigation systems and assess the respective performance. However, that approach does not apply when the variation in flow regimes and discharges at hydrants is pressure-driven. To carry on the performance analysis of these systems, the PNCS model has been developed and applied. Using a simplified solution of the characteristic equations of flow, it simulates flow in the irrigation systems. The performance analysis conducted bases upon the computation of the relative pressure deficits at every hydrant within a given number of configurations of hydrants operating simultaneously. This approach allows identifying both the hydrants which do not satisfy the preset pressure and discharge conditions and the areas where pipe sizes may be undersized. The model was tested with data collected in a irrigation system in Toronto. Results demonstrate the ability of the model to reappear the conditions observed at selected hydrants.

    To improve the efficiency of field calibration and reduce the effect of soil spatial variability to the calibration equation, Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR)was used to calibrate Neutron Probe. When laying neutron tube with the spacing of 10cm, we drilled, observed the soil lithology and measured volumetric water content with TDR at the same time. Radioactive count was measured by Neutron Probe, and the relationship curve between volumetric water content and count rate ratio would be gotten. The results showed that, (1) sandy loam and silt shared the same calibration equation: y = 41.989x + 14.989, R2 = 0.8539; (2) bulk density did not affect the calibration results, however, it was not suitable for the use of Neutron Probe to measure moisture content of the soil at the depth of 0-30cm; (3) below the depth of 30cm ,the calibration equation of Neutron Probe using TDR was: y = 53.139x + 10.397, R2 = 0.968; (4) the applicability analysis of TDR indicated that the volumetric water content can be directly measured by TDR for the sandy loam and silt in the study area. TDR was fit for the calibration of Neutron Probe. Therefore, it is a quick effective method to calibrate Neutron Probe in field.
