    Abstract: Using monthly ground-based meteorological observation data at 632 sites in China during 1961-2012, the potential evaporation (PET) is calculated using the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Penman-Monteith model,and then the humid index is reconstructed from the PET. With the method of Inverse Distance Weighted,Mann-Kendall,etc,the temporal and spatial variations of PET and different time scales’ humid index are discussed. The results show that the total PET in China ranges from 600mm to 1400mm on an annual basis from region to region, with the maximum in Northwest where significantly decreasing trend. and the minimum in Northeast where significantly increasing trend. In terms of grades of humid index from Chinese Climate Classification Criterion, China is classified into five zones, and there was a significant decrease in the area of the hyper-arid zone in the past 52 years. There are significant differences on the spatial distribution change between different time scales’ of humid index, and in the Western where exhibits increasing trend at the seasonal and annual humid index, that is the same with decreasing area of the arid zone and hyper-arid zone.

    Golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei), originating from water bodies in south China, is a filter-feeding species of freshwater Mytilidae. The veligers of golden mussel enter into water transfer tunnels through water intake, and densely attach on tunnel wall, causing bio-fouling and installation corrosion, increasing water transfer resistance, and even clogging in pipes. Putrefaction of dead mussels also causes water pollution. Investigation of golden mussel bio-fouling in pipeline of the Dongjiang Water Source Project, Shenzhen was conducted during the overhaul periods of the project. Attachment density of golden mussels was investigated from the water intakes to the end of the pipeline. Investigation and experiment was conducted in the rivers supplying water: the Dongjiang and Xizhijiang rivers. Effect of sediment settling on restraining attachment density of golden mussels has been analyzed based on the tunnel investigation and field investigation and experiment. It is indicated that in the water transfer tunnel the attachment density is significantly related to sediment settling. The density was very low at the sections with much sediment settling. Moreover, the mortality of the attached mussels was very high. However, the density was much higher at the sections with less sediment settling. The similar effect of sediment settling on restraining golden mussels’ attachment was also revealed in the field investigation and experiment. The experimental result indicated that when the amount of sediment settling increased 5 times, the attachment density reduced 80%. Therefore, sediment settling is considered as an effective strategy to control golden mussel bio-fouling in water transfer tunnels.

    As the missing value in daily water consumption series is generally determined by subjective judgment, a combined interpolation method based on grey theory was proposed. An autocorrelation method was used to analyze the daily water consumption series to determine the series related to the missing value. With the daily water consumption series before and after the missing value, grey theory was applied to obtain backward and forward interpolation estimation, respectively. Two values were optimally combined to achieve the estimation of missing value. Case study shows that the proposed method has a higher prediction performance than the average value method.

    Abstract: Groundwater numerical simulation is widely applied in many fields related to groundwater. Its results, whose accuracy can be effectively improved by parameters sensitivity analysis, are very important to many decisions. The original local sensitivity analysis only considers the influence of a single parameter, ignoring the interactions between them; later, global sensitivity analysis which considers the interactions is developed, but under the condition of multi-parameters and multi-levels, the time of sampling is so excessive that the operability is poor for the numerical model. In this paper, the uniform design method is introduced into the parameters sensitivity analysis of groundwater flow numerical model of Lindian county, Heilongjiang province. 7 parameters of the model are considered, and each parameter has 16 levels. Just with 16 sampling, the purpose of parameters sensitivity analysis is achieved.
