Discussion on the Application of Water Environment Treatment and Three-water Separation Project in Shenzhen by TANG Yawen, CHEN Wangwang

“…To fulfill the overall requirement of long-term cleanliness and sustainable development of the water environment in Shenzhen,this paper investigates the Longgang River Basin Water Environment Management Project to propose a general three-water separation plan that integrates “closed sewage system,open rainwater system,and efficient interception system”.Tracing to the source and diversion of key outlets and sewage interception transformation are carried out to release the clean base flow,drive the sewage system to be relatively independent from the initial light rain system,and ultimately to slow down non-point source pollution,improve the quality and efficiency of the sewage treatment plant,and strengthen the operation and maintenance scheduling of the pipe network system.With the implementation of the three-water separation project,the influent biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) concentration of the sewage treatment plant in the Longgang River Basin is significantly lower than that in 2019 after the second half of 2020.Therefore,applying the three-water separation project to water environment treatment is essential for fulfilling the assessment requirements on water control and quality improvement in Shenzhen and accomplishing relevant construction tasks.…”

Study on Sustainable Utilization of Water Resources i n Karst Regions of Guangxi by GUANG Yao_hua

“…Guangxi is characterized by uneven distribution of water resources in time and space,serious flood and waterlogging,fragile ge ologic environment in karst regions,soil erosion and wide spreading of rock dese rts.I n supply and demands of water resources problems lie in insufficient storage cap acity,water pollution and poor management of water resources.It is concluded tha t all karst regions in Guangxi fall short of water in varying degrees except for those situated in northeast Guangxi.For developing water resources in karst reg ions in Guangxi the author puts forward the following measures:exploiting modera tely karst water to increase the ratio of ground water in water resources deve l opment;storing rationally both surface and ground water to enhance active capaci ty;overdrawing artificially the shallow karst water and recharging;exploiting ka rst rivers;buliding rain collection tanks;speeding up construction of large hyd r aulic and hydropower projects;building headwater forest areas;spreading water sa ving farming;strengthening protection and management of water resources environm ent and relocating extremely poor population inhabited in karst regions.The auth or also introduces briefly the optimum regional allocation of water resources.…”

Occurrence of Vanadium in Belgian and European Alluvial Soils by V. Cappuyns, E. Slabbinck

“…By analysis of both the Belgian and European data, the relationship between physicochemical soil characteristics and total V concentrations was quantified and some areas polluted with V were detected. A regression equation, in which V concentrations in alluvial soils were expressed as a function of major element composition, was proposed for the Belgian and European data. …”

Comprehensive Evaluation of Production Water Footprint in Shandong Province by ZHANG Min, ZHANG Yu, TIAN Qing, WANG Mengfan

“…As a significant economic and populous region, Shandong Province also grapples with water scarcity.The water footprint concept provides a fresh understanding of water resources, revealing the true utilization extent of the resources.A model and evaluation system for measuring the production water footprint is established to assess water resource utilization in the province from 2010 to 2021.The results indicate that the production water footprint in the studied region experiences fluctuations and presents an overall increasing trend during this period, with higher levels in the western and southern regions and lower ones in the eastern and northern areas.The blue, green, and grey water footprints all display a rising trend.Agriculture accounts for the largest proportion among all the sectors.From a comprehensive perspective, the economic benefits of the production water footprint steadily increase, but the per capita carrying capacity of the production water footprint is relatively poor, with a relatively large water resource pressure index.Generally, Shandong faces unsustainable water resources and considerable water pressure, which highlights the need for timely measures to adjust the industrial structure, enhance water-saving technologies, and improve pollution prevention and control to alleviate current water scarcity.…”
