    Based on the measured data during 1973~2003 in Jingmen irrigation and drainage experiment station and 1980~2003 in Guilin irrigation and drainage experiment station, the trend of pan evaporation change and influencing climate factors in recent 30 years is analyzed; and the relationship between pan evaporation and average air temperature, precipitation, average wind speed, Based on the measured data during 1973~2003 in Jingmen irrigation and drainage experiment station and 1980~2003 in Guilin irrigation and drainage experiment station, the trend of pan evaporation change and influencing climate factors in recent 30 years is analyzed using the linear tendency linear method; and the relationship between pan evaporation and average air temperature, precipitation, average wind speed, the sunlight time, average relative humidity, and diurnal temperature range are also analyzed using single factor correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. It is obvious that the decreasing trend of pan evaporation existed in Jingmen irrigation and drainage experiment station in recent 31 years, and the influence of average relative humidity, wind speed and diurnal temperature range change were dominant. And it is found that the increase of pan evaporation in Guilin irrigation and drainage experiment station in recent 24 years was mainly caused by the diurnal temperature range change.

    The result of the comparative test about winter wheat between the furrow planting with plastic film mulching and the traditional flat planting that is done from 2009 to 2010 in Yangling,Shaanxi Province, shows that the yields of furrow planting is significantly increased than flat planting. The spike rate increases by 3.5% when the water use efficiency increases by 2.85%. The group tillering numbers of furrow planting wheat is less than the flat planting before jointing stage. From the flag leaf stage to mature stage, the group of furrow planting is higher than flat planting. After the green and jointing stage, the accumulation of dry matter of furrow planting increases rapidly compared with the lower level before,even higher than flat planting. The soil temperatures of furrow and flat planting at different depths (0,5, l0, 15,20 and 25cm) are observed with curved tube groundthermometer for the different effect analysis of ground temperature under different treatments. The result shows that the ground temperature of traditional flat planting changes more promotely that reduces the daily amplitude of ground temperature, eases diurnal temperature and avoids drastic changes of ground temperature.plastic film mulching warms fast and insulates effectively, eases diurnal temperature and avoids drastic changes of ground temperature.

    Silt dams can not only intercept sediment, conserve soil and water, but also silt wasteland and increase food. Loess Plateau has a history of one hundred years for silt dam. It has been an important topic of sediment and soil and water conservation research to study contribution of silt dam in soil and water conservation measures. The study takes Majiagou of the Loess Plateau watershed as a typical example, and analyzes the contribution of silt dam in soil and water conservation measures. The results from 1990 to 2007 show that the silt dam is the largest for annual average reduction of sediment, followed by terraces, followed by woodland and grassland. Contribution of silt dams to sediment reduction is 41.51% from 1990 to 2000,and 46.58% from 2001 to 2007.

    In order to strengthen the monitoring and assessment of drought as well as flood in Hangzhou, we analyze the conformability and difference between the calculated Z index and SPI, with the aid of the data collected from 5 weather stations. Employing such methods as frequency analysis, trend analysis and multi-scale SPI, we investigate the seasonal change characteristics of drought and flood. Via the research we find that results calculated by Z index are basically the same as those by SPI. The drought in Hangzhou is becoming more serious from west to the east, but the flood is the opposite story. Meanwhile the plum flood, typhoon-induced flood and the drought often occur alternately in summer and fall. The application of multi-scale Z index in this paper is for the first time and casts the inspiration to the drought and flood predication in Hangzhou in the near future.

    Abstract:This paper presented the results of variations in SS and COD in roof rainfall rain-off with rainfall amount based on the field experiments. The results indicated that the initial wash effects of rainfall rain-off on roof pollutions were significant and that changes of the SS and COD concentrations during the initial period of a rainfall event are well fitted with exponential equations. From these, initial discarded rainfall amount for roof wash effect was proposed, which can be adopted in the practice of rainwater harvesting for rural water supply.

    This paper analyzes the stress of tunnels with circular cross-section, rectangular cross-section, straight wall and arch cross-section and egg cross-section by ANSYS software respectively. The optimal shape among these four cross sections is determined by the displacement, stress and plastic zone. The results indicated that the circular cross-section tunnel has the smallest displacement and tensile stress; the rectangular cross-section tunnel has the maximum displacement, tensile stress and plastic zone, so does the stress concentration; and the displacement, tensile stress and plastic zone of egg shape tunnel is only next to the circular shape tunnel. After considering the factors of tunnel available space and costs, egg shape tunnel is the optimal cross section shape.

    In this paper, the disturbance waves of different frequencies in the turbulent boundary layer along the flow of communication are studied .From the experimental investigation, it is found that the periodic disturbance wave introduced in the near wall regions can cause responding waves in the outer region. The responding wave amplitude in the outer region is much larger than that of the disturbing wave in the near wall region. The coherent structure burst in the near wall region is related receptively to the flow state in the outer region. The occurrence of burst in the near wall region is tied up with the flow state in the outer region. The turbulence is a stable state and there is not global instability in turbulent boundary layer. The global evolution tendency of the disturbing wave with all frequencies is generally damping along the longitudinal direction while the decaying tendency becomes weaker and weaker. But the disturbing wave amplitude does not always decrease monotonously in the downstream direction, although in some cases there is a local momentary increase in particular vertical positions.

    When the initial impoundment is conducted at Jin’anqiao hydropower plant, the zooming reservoir water level will have negative influence on the structural stability of diversion tunnels. It is necessary to recheck the structural stability of diversion tunnels before sealing the plug. The numerical analysis adopts 3D damage FEM approach. The excavation of intake slope and diversion tunnel is firstly simulated. The seepage filed of rock mass is then calculated considering flood water level with closed lock. Based on the above results, recheck analysis is done on surrounding rock and lining structures of diversion tunnel. The results indicate that when water is impounded, the surrounding rock stability of diversion tunnel can be still guaranteed. The internal force of lining structures is overall favorable. The current reinforced steel bars along ring direction are able to meet the requirements of internal force. However, the tensile stress at variable section area of intake and plug is considerable along water flow direction. This may cause lining crack. Further analysis indicates that the tensile stress area is restricted within small range and only has small influences on the whole lining structures.
