Chemical evolution characteristics and influencing factors of groundwater in the saline and fresh water funnel area in Hengshui City, North China

Both over-exploitation and exploitation reduction of groundwater can alter the conditions of groundwater recharge and discharge, thereby impacting the overall quality of groundwater. This study utilizes hydrogeochemical methods and statistical analysis to explore the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics and influencing factors of groundwater chemistry in the saline-freshwater funnel area of Hengshui City under exploitation reduction. The results showed that: With the exception of the deep freshwater funnel area in the western region, which exhibits a trend of water quality deterioration (Cl− accounted for more than 25%), groundwater quality in the other funnel areas demonstrates an improving trend (HCO accounted for more than 25%). The origins of hydrochemical components in the groundwater of the two types of funnel areas are influenced by rock weathering. Only the shallow saline water funnel area in the eastern region is impacted by evaporation. And groundwater hydraulic conditions play a distinct role in controlling the evolution of water chemistry in different types of funnel areas. It is mainly manifested in changing the water-rock reaction speed in the two types of funnel areas and diluting the groundwater ion concentration in the funnel area.

Optimal siting of shared energy storage projects from a sustainable development perspective: A two-stage framework

The rapidly increasing installed renewable energy capacity has drawn greater attention to energy storage technology in China. However, the commercial implementation of energy storage is constrained by several obstacles. One potential solution to overcome these constraints is the shared energy storage model. The optimal location layout plays a crucial role in addressing the strategic decision problem of sustainable development. Therefore, a two-stage multi-criteria decision-making model is proposed to identify the optimal locations of shared energy storage projects in this work. In the first stage, the power attraction model is established to determine the macroscopic layout of shared energy storage. In the second stage, a large-scale group decision making (LSGDM) framework is developed to select the optimal micro location. The empirical study conducted in China reveals that Shandong, Henan, and Hebei provinces exhibit greater power flow attraction, from which eight alternatives are selected as site preferences and evaluated by twenty experts. Based on the improved EDAS method, the evaluation score function values of the eight alternatives are 0.497, 0.5, 0.476, 0.499, 0.507, 0.477, 0.506, and 0.498, respectively. Specifically, A5 in Rao Yang County, Hengshui City and A7 in Qing Long Manchu Autonomous County, Qinhuangdao City are preferred locations. Furthermore, the dependability and stability of the model are illustrated through the sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis. This model not only assists in determining the layout of shared energy storage but also contributes to the theoretical study of geographic information system and LSGDM.

Mapping and Analyses of Land Subsidence in Hengshui, China, Based on InSAR Observations

In this paper, we use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) annual and time-series analysis of RADARSAT-2 SAR data, spanning from September 2011 to October 2022, to study the temporal–spatial characteristics of land subsidence in Hengshui, North China Plain. The data reveal two large-scale subsidence areas in Hengshui, individually located to the north of Hengshui city around the Hutuo River and to the east or south along the Fuyang, Suolu and Qingliang Rivers. The fastest subsidence arises after 2017, with the maximum rate exceeding 11 cm/year. We correlate the observed subsidence with the central table variation of groundwater depression, groundwater table variation of three confined aquifers, hydraulic head declines of three confined aquifers and the time-dependent total hydraulic head variation. We find a spatial consistency between land subsidence and groundwater depression or hydraulic head declines of three confined aquifers, and subsidence displacement and total hydraulic heads both manifest clear seasonal variability. This suggests that the subsidence is primarily caused by groundwater extraction for agricultural use. We also observe that the subsidence rates in Hengshui did not decrease but rather increased when the groundwater table significantly rose after September 2019. It is very likely that as a result of the occurrence of thick and widespread continuity of clay layers with high compressibility in the Quaternary deposit of Hengshui, a new preconsolidation head could be generated due to groundwater table drop, leading to the effective hydraulic head still existing in the aquitards even if the groundwater table rises in the aquifer systems.

Mechanism of Salinization of Shallow Groundwater in Taocheng District, Hengshui City

In order to understand the characteristics and origin of groundwater salinization in Taocheng district of Hengshui City, the recharge and salinization procession of shallow groundwater were analyzed with isotopic and geochemical data of the shallow groundwater (buried depth ≤ 100 m) and the soluble salt in boreholes. The results showed that the shallow groundwater was weak alkaline salt water, with the total dissolved solid (TDS) in the groundwater ranging from 176.06 to 17569.65 mg·L-1and the soil total salinity in unconsolidated sediments ranging from 1.830 to 6.509 g·kg-1. The hydrochemical types were mainly SO4·Cl-Na·Mg and Cl·SO4-Na·Ca in the shallow groundwater and the soluble salt. The main recharge resource of shallow groundwater was precipitation with different geological periods. The hydrochemical compositions of shallow groundwater mainly came from the dissolution of halite and sulfate weathering and experienced intense evaporation and the reduction environment. Meanwhile, the groundwater salinization was barely affected by human activities and seawater intrusion.

The strain grew at 25-45 °C (optimum, 37 °C), pH 7.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0-1.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1 %). From the phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain RY-2T was affiliated to the genus Mariniradius, and had the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Mariniradius saccharolyticus JCM 17389T (98.3 %) and the similarity values between strain RY-2T and other type strains was all below 89.3 %. The genome size of strain RY-2T was 4.75 Mb and the DNA G+C content was 46.6 %. Values of digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity between strain RY-2T and the reference strain were 63.2 and 95.5 %, respectively. The major fatty acids (≥5.0 %) were iso-C15 : 0 (37.9 %), summed feature 9 (8.4 %, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and/or C16 : 010-methyl), anteiso-C15 : 0 (8.2 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (7.6 %) and summed feature 4 (5.2 %, iso-C17 : 1 I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1 B) and its sole menaquinone was MK-7. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, an unknown phosphoglycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid, two unidentified aminolipids, three unidentified glycolipids and nine unidentified lipids. Based on the results of biochemical, physiological, phylogenomic and chemotaxonomic analyses, strain RY-2T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Mariniradius within the family Cyclobacteriaceae, for which the name Mariniradius sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RY-2T (=GDMCC 1.2781T=JCM 35631T).

In-Season Crop Type Detection by Combing Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-2 Imagery Based on the CNN Model

In-season crop-type maps are required for a variety of agricultural monitoring and decision-making applications. The earlier the crop type maps of the current growing season are obtained, the more beneficial it is for agricultural decision-making and management. With the availability of a large amount of high spatiotemporal resolution remote sensing data, different data sources are expected to increase the frequency of data acquisition, which can provide more information in the early season. To explore the potential of integrating different data sources, a Dual-1DCNN algorithm was built based on the CNN model in this study. Moreover, an incremental training method was used to attain the network on each data acquisition date and obtain the best detection date for each crop type in the early season. A case study for Hengshui City in China was conducted using time series of Sentinel-1A (S1A) and Sentinel-2 (S2) attained in 2019. To verify this method, the classical methods support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and Mono-1DCNN were implemented. The input for SVM and RF was S1A and S2 data, and the input for Mono-1DCNN was S2 data. The results demonstrated the following: (1) Dual-1DCNN achieved an overall accuracy above 85% at the earliest time.; (2) all four types of models achieved high accuracy (F1s were greater than 90%) on summer maize after sowing one month later; (3) for cotton and common yam rhizomes, Dual-1DCNN performed best, with its F1 reaching 85% within 2 months after cotton sowing, 15 days, 20 days, and 45 days ahead of Mono-1DCNN, SVM, and RF, respectively, and its extraction of the common yam rhizome was achieved 1–2 months earlier than other methods within the acceptable accuracy. These results confirmed that Dual-1DCNN offered significant potential in the in-season detection of crop types.

Comparison of clinical effects of two surgical approaches in the treatment of acetabular fractures.

To determine the clinical effect of lateral rectus abdominis approach and modified Stoppa approach for the surgical treatment of acetabular fractures. A retrospective analysis was performed on the case data of 30 patients with acetabular fractures admitted to the Department of Orthopaedics of Hengshui City People's Hospital from June 2017 to June 2021. According to the surgical methods, the enrolled patients were divided into the lateral rectus abdominis approach group (observation group) and the modified Stoppa approach group (control group), with 15 patients in each group. Further comparison was made on the incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of stay in the hospital, fracture reduction, hip joint function, neurological recovery, and postoperative complications between the two groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the length of stay in the hospital, hip joint function score, fracture reduction quality, and excellent-to-good rate of hip joint function (p>0.05). There were significant differences in incision length, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative motor and touch function scores, and postoperative complication rate between the observation group and the control group (p<0.05). The clinical effect of the lateral rectus abdominis approach is close to that of the modified Stoppa approach for the surgical treatment of acetabular fracture patients. However, and importantly, surgery through the lateral rectus abdominis approach has less trauma, shorter operation time, lower surgical complications, and good postoperative functional recovery.

Study and Evaluation of Dynamic Carrying Capacity of Groundwater Resources in Hebei Province from 2010 to 2017

There is a severe issue with groundwater overuse and water scarcity in the North China Plain. The capacity of groundwater resources to promote economic development is also diminished due to the overexploitation of resources to suit the industrial needs of diverse sectors. Therefore, it is crucial to research the regional groundwater resource carrying capacity from both a temporal and spatial perspective. The relationship between water usage efficiency and groundwater availability, which was built using regional data on water supply and consumption as well as gross domestic product, is used in this study to assess the carrying capacity of Hebei’s groundwater resources through time and space. The results show that from the perspective of time, in the years when the groundwater resource exploitation degree is greater than one from 2010 to 2017, the contribution rate of the groundwater resource exploitation to economic development reaches 62.5%, indicating that the economic development of the study area is highly dependent on the groundwater resources. The exploitation degree of groundwater resources is less than one, but the degree of economic development value keeps increasing to nearly 80% and the overexploitation rate is 75% in the total time scale. In terms of spatial scale, only Hengshui City has no overexploitation index, and the overexploitation rate is 9.1%. The overload and severe overload areas account for 45.45%, respectively. Among them, the exploitation degree of groundwater has been in a state of over-saturation, and as economic development depends on groundwater resources, water efficiency needs to be improved through water saving. Optimizing and promoting industrial structures and water-saving technology to further improve water efficiency are key factors to improve the carrying capacity of groundwater resources.

Hydrochemical evolution characteristics and mechanism of groundwater funnel areas under artificial governance in Hengshui City, North China

The largest groundwater funnel area is located in the North China Plain (NCP) due to long-term and large-scale overexploitation of groundwater from 1970s. Comprehensive control and management measures have been implemented both in national-scale and local-scale since 2015. This paper presented the evolution of hydrochemical characteristics and its mechanism before (2014) and during the artificial governance (2015–2020) in the center of the NCP funnels (Hengshui City) based on water level, water chemical (including concentrations of K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl−, SO42−, HCO3−, TH and TDS) data. By using Piper diagrams, ion ratio relationships, geostatistical analysis, Gibbs diagrams, chlor-alkali index and inverse hydrogeochemical simulation (PHREEQC), the following conclusions can be drawn:(1)Temporally, the dominant cation and anion were Na+ and HCO3− both in shallow groundwater (SG) and deep groundwater (DG), respectively. Hydrochemical types both in SG and DG tend to be diverse, owing to the increase of SO42− and Cl− proportion after groundwater overdraft management. Spatially, ion concentrations (except for HCO3−) of discharge areas distributed higher due to shorter hydraulic retention time and flow path of recharge area. The impact of groundwater overdraft management on distribution characteristics of DG was lower than that in SG.(2)Compared with 2014 (before artificial management), SG and DG hydrochemical components had stronger correlation relationships with groundwater level. Hydrochemistry field was influenced by groundwater depth fluctuation and the rates of it at varying degree in recharge and discharge areas. Leakage from SG to DG can be deduced by similar alteration of ion concentrations.(3)In SG, the major water chemistry was controlled by evaporation and water–rock interaction, while dissolution of silicate and evaporate companied with ion exchange dominating the groundwater chemistry in DG from 2014 to 2020. Both in SG and DG simulation paths, dissolution/precipitation of mineral phases and artificial governance influence the hydrochemistry. DG also caused by SG leakage. During artificial management, human activities are a factor that cannot be ignored. Ion concentrations increased with the water–rock interaction enhanced, due to the rate of groundwater depth change decreasing.

Environmental Suitability Evaluation for Human Settlements of Rural Residential Areas in Hengshui, Hebei Province

To improve the development quality of rural residential areas in plain areas requires scientific evaluation. Based on the rural residential area in Hengshui City, Hebei Province, the study selected four indicators of location, production, ecology, and management, to build an evaluation model for the suitability of human settlements and evaluated rural residential areas in Hengshui City. The findings indicated the following: (1) The most suitable areas are mainly concentrated in the geographical center of Hengshui City. The generally suitable areas are mainly distributed in the east of the city. The basic suitable areas are scattered in the west and northeast of the city. The unsuitable areas are mainly concentrated in the north of the city. Most of the area of Hengshui City is suitable for the residence and development of rural residential areas, and 72.86% of rural residential areas are located in suitable areas, which is consistent with the geographical environment characteristics of plain areas. (2) The rural residential areas in unsuitable areas are mainly due to the low income, serious population loss and low urbanization rate, which are in line with the characteristics of rural residential areas. (3) The suitability of human settlements in rural residential areas in plain areas is mainly affected by the per capita agricultural land area, hydrology index, distance to river, distance to country, distance to a slow road, and distance to the fast road are low-level driving factors, of which distance to a fast road has the weakest influence. (4) There is a significant positive correlation between the environmental suitability and the distribution density of rural residential areas. The improvement of the suitability of human settlements can effectively promote the aggregation and distribution of rural residential areas. High-high clustering areas are mainly concentrated in the middle and northeast of Hengshui City, while low-low clustering areas are scattered in the north and southwest of Hengshui City. (5) The location index (LI) and management index (AI) play a limiting role in the suitability of human settlements in the northeast of Hengshui City, and the government should strengthen management intervention and infrastructure construction in the northeast of Hengshui City. The production index (PI) plays a limiting role in the suitability of human settlements in the west of Hengshui City and should consider the improvement of production capacity in the west of Hengshui City. The research results play a vital role in improving the carrying capacity of regional resources and the environment in the plain area, improving rural production, and living conditions, and promoting the development of rural planning in the whole region.

Assessment of GF3 Full-Polarimetric SAR Data for Dryland Crop Classification with Different Polarimetric Decomposition Methods

Crop classification is one of the most important agricultural applications of remote sensing. Many studies have investigated crop classification using SAR data, while few studies have focused on the classification of dryland crops by the new Gaofen-3 (GF3) SAR data. In this paper, taking Hengshui city as the study area, the performance of the Freeman–Durden, Sato4, Singh4 and multi-component decomposition methods for dryland crop type classification applications are evaluated, and the potential of full-polarimetric GF3 data in dryland crop type classification are also investigated. The results show that the multi-component decomposition method produces the most accurate overall classifications (88.37%). Compared with the typical polarization decomposition techniques, the accuracy of the classification results using the new decomposition method is improved. In addition, the Freeman method generally yields the third-most accurate results, and the Sato4 (87.40%) and Singh4 (87.34%) methods yield secondary results. The overall classification accuracy of the GF3 data is very positive. These results demonstrate the great promising potential of GF3 SAR data for dryland crop monitoring applications.

Research on the Public Behaviors to Participate in the Lake Chief System-Based on the Survey of Hengshui City, China

Lake chief system is an innovative measure of ecological civilization construction in lake governance and protection in China. Due to the complexity and openness of lake resources, it is difficult for the government and the market to properly handle the arduous task of lake governance, and public participation is an effective remedy for the failure of the government and the market. In order to know the public participation in the protection lakes, this paper selected 318 citizens from Hengshui city and uses the questionnaire survey to understand the public’s participation attitude, approach and behavior of the lake chief system. The research results show that the public’s education level, length of residence and understanding of the lake chief system have a positive impact on their participation.
