    Based on the theory of planned behavior,we analyze the factors influencing farmers' willingness to participate in establishing the small water conservancy facilities using the survey data of 349 farmers in two pilot counties ( Baotou,Bayannur) in Inner Mongolia. The results show that the theory of planned behavior can be well applied to analyze farmers' willingness to participate in establishing the small water conservancy facilities. The most powerful factor influencing farmers' willingness is their attitude,and their subjective cognition and perceived behavioral control follow. Their willingness is influenced primarily by economic benefit stimulus,neighborhood willingness to participate,external support,and individual's capability.

    As the operation of traditional CART decision tree model is time-consuming,we choose the Fayyad Boundary Decision Theorem optimization attributes to reduce the time for operation. Because of the factors that influence the formation of bloom,this paper uses the correlation coefficient in statistics to select the influencing factors that have a greater correlation with the occurrence of bloom,one step is to filter the condition attributes one by one,to further shorten the running time,and to ensure the overall prediction accuracy. Finally,the experimental results show that the improved bloom warning model can reduce the running time and ensure the correct rate of prediction.

    In a basin,there is a strong interaction between surface-water( SW) and groundwater( GW) regimes,especially in the valley region. Doing research on the SW and GW separately usually ignores the link between surface water and groundwater. In order to overcome this shortcoming,a hypothetical case is suggested in this paper. To establish a SW/GW model,the dual-node approach is used to couple the flow model of SW and GW. On this basis,the coupling transport model is built by Fick Law. The coupled simulation model will be solved via HydroGeoSphere to forecast the distribution of flow and total nitrogen in 120 days. The simulation results show that the GW is recharged by the SW,because surface flux will decrease when the GW is pumped. With the over-withdrawing of underground water,groundwater pollution is becoming more serious.

    Since the impoundment of Three Gorges Reservoir,the river reach from Zhicheng to Yangjianao have suffered from severe erosion. However,it remains unclear how different operation rules for Three Gorges Reservoir affect the erosion and deposition of this river reach. Employing the two-dimensional depth -averaged model for fluvial processes,the present paper systematically investigates the impacts of distinct operation rules for Three Gorges Reservoir on the river reach from Zhicheng to Yangjianao. The results show that under the current operation rule,the river bed is mainly demonstrated to be eroded. It is also estimated that in the 10 years,the river geomorphology will remain stable as the erosion depth of river bed will be close to its limit depth. Although appreciable discrepancies of bed deformations due to different operation rules can be spotted,the river bed exclusively suffer from erosion.

    The influence of land use change on the evapotranspiration is a hot issue in the hydrology and other related areas. The paper selects Xixian Basin in the upper reaches of Huaihe river as the study area,and analyzes the land use change on the basis of data of land use in 1995 and 2000. Then,it analyzes the effects of land use change on potential evapotranspiration in different typical years and different time scales based on the calculated values of evapotranspiration in each grid with the application of dual-source potential evapotranspiration distributed model. The results show that: from 1995 to 2000,the land use in 30% of the watershed area has changed,and the largest proportion of all is the transition from paddy field to dry land; the seasonal potential evapotranspiration in great mass of areas in which potential evapotranspiration has reduced to different degrees in different typical years,especially in summer; the annual potential evapotranspiration in great mass of areas in which potential evapotranspiration has reduced to different degrees in different typical years,and the dry year is the most significant. The research results can provide support for the study of water cycle evolution in the changing environment,and also have reference value for the development and utilization of water and land resources.

    Extreme rainfall and high urban hardening rate have led to frequent urban inundation in recent years. Nevertheless,underground space has disadvantages against the inundation. The existing research on underground space inundation is chiefly targeted at hydrodynamic characteristics of rainwater intrusion into underground space,which rarely takes the regional runoff and confluence process into consideration. In order to predict the risk of inundation in underground space under different rainfall intensities,regional drainage model is put into the calculation model of inundation in underground space. In addition,the runoff and confluence and the calculation principle of hydrological and hydraulic model in underground space is introduced in detail. Taking the tunnel as an example,this model can be used to evaluate the risk of inundation under different rainfall intensities,which can provide a basis for inundation management and emergency rescue.

    Engineering potential destruction risk caused by flood can be presented by the frequency of annual highest stages in front of engineering (Hm). A quantificational relational expression among annual highest stages,flood peak discharge (x) and flood volume (y) was established, which was based on the condition that flood hydrograph was generalized into triangle. And then, based on stochastic simulation method, the annual highest stages (Hm)N were calculated according with flood prevention standard. Therewith, the combinations of flood peak discharge and flood volume are analysed at the request of satisfying the standard. Result has shown that its calculation was above the flood prevention standard on the condition of the combination that flood peak discharge and flood volume are same frequency, in addition, The variation of engineering’s characters of flood prevention have impact on Hm, which above can be demonstrated.

     The accuracy of the design flood results directly affects the reliability of the critical rainfall of mountain flood and the accuracy of early warning,so it is necessary to review the inspection. Based on the data area,this paper uses a long series of flood data frequency calculation method,method of production flow in small watershed and flood peak modulus method to inspect and review the design flood analysis and evaluation. Using similar river basin ideas,the inspection review results are diverted to the region without data. Minsheng village 1 group of Jiangxiying Basin in Shanxi Province with better data and Majiaan Village 11 group lack of data are exemplified. The results show that when the design flood is above once every twenty years,the calculated results conform with data. When the design flood is below once every ten years,the calculated results are bigger than data. Undergoing correction,the precision of results is improved effectively. Using the conclusion on Majiaan Village 11 group,recalculating and verifying the test result,the conclusion is reliable. It provides a new approach for the analysis and evaluation of mountain flood disaster design flood review in small watershed.

    Wells houses are an important part of the construction of irrigation projects relying on groundwater. Pumps, power distribution cabinets, valves, frequency converters and other equipment are installed in the houses. Extreme low temperature will bring adverse effects and even cause damage on equipment, as a result, shorten equipment service life. A new insulation well house is developed in this paper, and insulation materials are filled in the gap of its wall. The well house is heated through carbon fiber and solar energy and its foundation is insulated by foam boards. The field test results show that the profile of daily-averaged temperature difference between inside and outside of the well house is basically parabolic. The temperature difference is higher when outside temperature drops. The maximum temperature difference is up to 18 ℃ or so in winter. Results show the integrated well house will obviously and effectively reduce frost damage of equipment in seasonal frozen districts.

    The wake structure of aquatic vegetation patch is influenced by submergence degree,having a positive response to local flow characteristics and the distribution of nutrients. Through the flume experiment,research is done on the mechanism of the effect of submergence on the longitudinal flow distribution of wake. The experimental results show that when the degree of submergence is large( early growth stage) ,the flow is directly behind the vegetation patch change uniformly,the peak value of velocity and turbulent kinetic energy are close to the average value of the upstream. Affected by Karman vortex,the patch wake of different submergence degree can produce turbulent kinetic energy containing the two peak values. When the degree of submergence is small ( late growth stage) ,the variation of turbulent kinetic energy directly behind the patch increases gradually,with the effect of von Karman vortex reduced,is not conducive to the longitudinal extension of vegetation patch.

    The BP neural network suitable for geotechnical engineering problems is used to establish a nonlinear mapping relationship between the constitutive model parameters and the test indexes of the rockfill body. The BP neural network is used to obtain the connection weights,and the connection weights are processed by the Olden approach,reflecting the degree of sensitivity of rock mechanics parameters. Compared with the commonly sensitivity analysis of rockfill mechanical parameters based on statistical approach,this approach can well reflect the mapping relationship between parameters and test indexes,and has the advantages of simple combination of design parameters and convenient data processing. The maximum vertical displacement,the upstream maximum displacement and the downstream maximum displacement of Shuibuya CFRD are taken as three test index of the sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity of the rheological parameters are calculated and analyzed. The results show that the sensitivity of the parameters m to the three test indexes is relatively high,followed by the parameters η、c、d,the parameters cα、dα、cβ、dβ、λv on the three test indicators are relatively small. The research results of this paper serve as a reference for the sensitivity analysis of the mechanical parameters of other models of rockfill

    In the actual project,the evaluation of slope stability is still based on single plate thickness calculation formula. In fact,slope stability is affected by many factors such as board length,structural type and environmental conditions. How to sort the influence factors is the key problem in the design of slope protection. On the basis of the calculation formula for the anti-sliding safety coefficient of concrete slope protection,the sensitivity analysis of slope stability is performed by using the orthogonal design,five factors including the length of slab, thickness of slab,wind speed,slope ratio and cushion material are considered. And the analytical conclusion is used to solve a slope collapse problem of actual projects. The results show that the length of slab has the most sensitive effect on the stability of slope,followed by the wind speed and slope ratio,while the influences of thickness of the slab and cushion materials are insignificant. The research results serve as a reference for the slope design,stability evaluation and reinforcement of the existing projects.

    It is significant to propose a method of unsaturated soil slope stability analysis accounting for the distribution of matric suction and the effect of seepage. Considering the slope as a whole,its potential function including the contribution of transient unsaturated seepage without any assumption on the shape of sliding surface is established. Based on the minimum potential energy principle and Fredlund's shear strength theory of unsaturated soils,a formula of factor of safety ( FS) of minimum potential energy method is derived. In contrast with classical limit equilibrium method,the advantage of minimum potential energy method is that it can satisfy the equilibrium differential equation and the force boundary conditions without being divided into slices. In a case of stability analysis of slope under rainfall infiltration, the good comparison with Spencer Method and Morgenstern-Price Method shows the effectiveness of minimum potential energy method and its good practical value due to the simple calculation without iteration

    Based on the principle of orifice outflow, this paper designed round hole of the new flow meter. The relationship between the water opening degree, the pressure head and the flow of round hole of flow meter is obtained by experimental research. The results show that the water flow rate of the device increases with the increase of the pressure head when the water opening degree of the device is constant, which is multiplied by the power function. And the water opening degree has little effect on the pressure sensitivity coefficient. When the pressure head is constant, the distribution flow increases with the opening of the water outlet. And it obtain the empirical formula of flow rate, water opening degree and pressure head of the flow meter, and there is a good consistency with the measured value. The research of this paper is of great value for the popularization and application of the new flow meter in modern industry.

    The three-dimensional finite element analysis of stress and deformation for Shiziping Core Rockfill Dam constructed on the deep overburden layer,was performed by Duncan-Chang and ellipse-parabola double yield surface models respectively. The differences of stress and deformation calculation results between the two constitutive models are analyzed. The results show that the distribution of dam deformation and stress is roughly similar to the two models. But some differences still exist. The maximum dam settlement calculated by double yield surface model is 2.2% smaller than that calculated by Duncan-Chang model. The ratio of maximum horizontal displacement along the river to maximum settlement is 0. 22 for double yield surface model,which is close to some existing engineering monitoring data,while that by Duncan-Chang model is slightly larger,namely 0.37. The core arching effect coefficient R is adopted for the evaluation of core arching effect. It shows that core arch effect calculated by Duncan-Chang model is stronger. The decrease in minor principal stress in the upstream dam shell is more notable for Duncan-Chang model,but no tension stress appears.
