Chronic increasing nitrogen and endogenous phosphorus release from sediment threaten to the water quality in a semi-humid region reservoir

The water quality in the drinking water reservoir directly affects people's quality of life and health. When external pollution input is effectively controlled, endogenous release is considered the main cause of water quality deterioration. As the major nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) sources in reservoirs, sediment plays a vital role in affecting the water quality. To understand the spatial and temporal variation of N and P in the sediment, this study analyzed the current characteristics and cumulative effects of a semi-humid reservoir, Yuqiao Reservoir, in North China. The N and P concentrations in the reservoir sediment were decreased along the flow direction, while the minimum values were recorded at the central sediment profile. External input and algal deposition were the main factors leading to higher sediment concentrations in the east (Re-E) and west (Re-W) areas of reservoir sediment profiles. According to the long-term datasets, the peaks of both sediment total nitrogen content and deposition rate were observed in the 2010s, which has increased about three times and six times than in the1990s, respectively. Therefore, the increase in phosphorus concentration may be the main reason for eutrophication in water in recent years. The mineralization of organic matter has a significant promoting effect on releasing N and P from sediments, which will intensify eutrophication in water dominated by P and bring huge challenges to water environment management. This study highlights that the current imbalance in N and P inputs into reservoirs and the endogenous P release from sediment will have a significant impact on water quality.

Quantifying landscape change following catastrophic dam failures in Edenville and Sanford, Michigan, USA

AbstractDam failures due to changing hydroclimate and ageing infrastructure pose a significant threat to downstream river systems and communities. The detailed geomorphic effects of catastrophic dam failures are not well known because of a lack of high‐resolution topographic data before and after failures. On 19 May 2020, the 17‐m‐tall Edenville and 11‐m‐tall Sanford dams near Midland, Michigan, USA, failed as a result of significant rainfall over the preceding 2 days. We analysed the geomorphic impacts of these failures using a pre‐failure airborne lidar dataset and three uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)‐based lidar surveys collected 2 weeks, 3 months and 11 months after failure. Our survey following the dam failure revealed 47 100 ± 11 900 m3 of net floodplain erosion and 17 300 ± 4200 m3 of net deposition downstream of the Edenville and Sanford dam breaches, respectively. Over the year following failure, most geomorphic change was confined to new knickpoints migrating slowly through underlying glacial till substrate, with little change to riverbanks or surrounding floodplains. A lack of impounded reservoir sediment and antecedent downstream topography, including valley width and the location of the breaches relative to the river below the dams, contributed to relatively modest geomorphic changes despite the magnitude of water released. We provide insight into how landscapes are shaped by catastrophic floods, which are likely to become more common with ageing dams and a changing hydroclimate.

Assessment of chemical characteristics of bottom sediments of Zobe Dam Reservoir, Katsina State, Nigeria

Zobe Dam is one of the silted dams in Nigeria. It is located in the Dustin-ma area in Katsina State northwestern Nigeria. The bottom reservoir sediments of the dam were sampled during the bathymetric studies of the reservoir. The objectives are to: determine the status of mineral elements and their distribution; measure the anomalous elemental concentration, as a tool in search for solid mineral deposits; and determine the usefulness of such sediments when dredged out. A total of 15 samples were obtained and analysed at Federal Steel Council laboratory in Kaduna using a Scanning Electron Microscope which was then transferred electronically to EDX that revealed the elemental constituents of the samples in mg/kg. A total of 27 elements were examined, the order of enrichment is Si > Fe > Al > Hg> K > Pb > Ti > Ca > Cd….All the elements were several times greater than the world's mean crustal abundance. The preponderance of these elements could be attributed to the contamination from artisanal mining of polymetallic mineral associations in Jibia, Dandire, Mallam Tanko Kafur, Dutsin-Ma and other areas within the State; as well as the anthropogenic factors like organic fertilizer application by farmers. It is recommended that the erosion of sand into the dam be checked through the planting of trees and other environmental conservation practices.

An optimal approach of pure/mixed CO2 sequestration with producing hydrated natural gas: Physical insights and validation

In this contribution, an optimal approach is developed to sequestrate pure/mixed CO2 by dislodging the hydrated natural gas, the cleanest fossil fuel, thereby catching two birds by one stone. For depicting its intricacies, a transient thermo-kinetic swapping model is developed with considering first time the effect of permeability and water saturation, along with porosity involved in sediments of hydrate reservoir. The formulation takes into account various fundamental issues having practical relevance, like porous particles with uneven size and shape, surface dynamics involved in phase transformation, non-unity reaction order (i.e., nth order), among others. A mixed-integer nonlinear multi-objective sequential optimization (MOSO) problem is articulated within the framework of a robust global optimizer (i.e., nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II) to deal with two conflicting objectives, concerning minimization of absolute average relative deviation and maximization of swapping efficiency. This optimal approach is validated with laboratory and field data, showing its outperformance over the latest models at diverse geological conditions. The proposed model framework is employed for lab-scale cases to identify the optimal guest gas (CO2/N2) ratio that secures the maximum swapping efficiency. Simulation results suggest that the presented theoretical model is rigorous in interpreting these swapping dynamics in hydrates.

Controls on Deep and Shallow Gas Hydrate Reservoirs in the Dongsha Area, South China Sea: Evidence from Sediment Properties

The Dongsha area, a key region in the northern South China Sea (SCS), features both diffusive deep and seepage shallow gas hydrate reservoirs. Utilizing sediment samples from gas hydrate reservoirs and adjacent layers at sites W08 and W16 in the Dongsha area, this study aims to uncover the sediment property differences between deep and shallow gas hydrate reservoirs and their impact on gas hydrate accumulation through grain size, X-ray diffraction, and specific surface area (SSA) analyses. The findings classify the study intervals into four distinct layers: shallow non-gas hydrate layer (shallow-NGHL), shallow gas hydrate reservoir (shallow-GHR), deep non-gas hydrate layer (deep-NGHL), and deep gas hydrate reservoir (deep-GHR). In the clayey silt sediment reservoirs, grain size has a minor influence on gas hydrate reservoirs. Both shallow and deep NGHLs, characterized by high smectite content and SSA, possess a complex structure that impedes gas and fluid migration and offers limited potential reservoir space. Consequently, both shallow and deep NGHLs function as sealing beds. The deep GHR, having low smectite content and SSA, exhibits a strong capacity for gas and fluid migration and greater potential reservoir space. As a result, sediment properties significantly influence the deep GHR. Seepage primarily controls the shallow GHR.

Opportunities and challenges for precipitation forcing data in post‐wildfire hydrologic modeling applications

AbstractThe frequency and extent of wildfires have increased in recent decades with immediate and cascading effects on water availability in many regions of the world. Precipitation is used as primary input to hydrologic models and is a critical driver of post‐wildfire hydrologic hazards including debris flows, flash floods, water‐quality effects, and reservoir sedimentation. These models are valuable tools for understanding the hydrologic response to wildfire but require accurate precipitation data at suitable spatial and temporal resolutions. Wildfires often occur in data‐sparse, headwater catchments in complex terrain, and post‐wildfire hydrologic effects are particularly sensitive to high‐intensity, short‐duration precipitation events, which are highly variable and difficult to measure or estimate. Therefore, the assessment and prediction of wildfire‐induced changes to watershed hydrology, including the associated effects on ecosystems and communities, are complicated by uncertainty in precipitation data. When direct measurements of precipitation are not available, datasets of indirect measurements or estimates are often used. Choosing the most appropriate precipitation dataset can be difficult as different datasets have unique trade‐offs in terms of spatial and temporal accuracy, resolution, and completeness. Here, we outline the challenges and opportunities associated with different precipitation datasets as they apply to post‐wildfire hydrologic models and modeling objectives. We highlight the need for expanded precipitation gage deployment in wildfire‐prone areas and discuss potential opportunities for future research and the integration of precipitation data from disparate sources into a common hydrologic modeling framework.This article is categorized under: Science of Water > Hydrological Processes Science of Water > Methods Science of Water > Water and Environmental Change

Infiltration-Based Variability of Soil Erodibility Parameters Evaluated with the Jet Erosion Test

Soil erosion by water on agricultural hillslopes leads to numerous environmental problems including reservoir sedimentation, loss of agricultural land, declines in drinking water quality, and requires deep understanding of underlying physical processes for better mitigation. It is imperative to accurately predict soil erosion caused by overland flow processes so that soil conservation efforts can be undertaken proactively before large-scale sedimentation problems arise. Soil detachment is often described by the excess shear stress equation that contains two physical soil erodibility parameters, erodibility coefficient, and critical shear stress. These parameters are normally assumed to be constant but can change across varying soil texture classes as well as during surface runoff events due to changes in soil cohesion and potential dependency on soil moisture content. These changes may significantly affect soil erosion rates at the field and watershed scale. In this study, the erodibility parameters of three soil types (sandy loam, clay loam, and silty clay loam) were analyzed using a laboratory mini-Jet Erosion Test (JET) to determine the effect of soil sample infiltration and moisture condition. Results from the experiments depicted a dynamic relationship between the soil erodibility parameters and amount of infiltrated mass of water. Data analysis displayed that for soils of different texture critical shear stress exhibited local minimum with higher values for very dry and saturated soils, while erodibility coefficient tended to increase with the increase of mass of soil water. Utilizing these dynamic soil erodibility parameters did not result in a significant difference in soil erosion rates when compared to using the averaged soil erodibility parameters taken from the experiment but the range of potential erosion rates increases with the increase of applied sheer stress to soil surface. The erosion rates with the experiment-based coefficients were found to be higher than with the baseline WEPP-based coefficients. These results highlight the importance of evaluating the effect of intrastorm dependent factors during surface runoff events, such as antecedent soil moisture content, time to peak from the start of runoff, soil cohesion, etc., on soil erodibility parameters to accurately calculate erosion rates, especially for initially dry soils or during earlier stages of surface runoff when critical shear stresses were highly affected. Further assessment of such factors with JET or other laboratory and field tests is recommended.

Role of Underground Carbon Storage to Assist Reaching Net Zero by 2050: Perspectives on Petroleum Reservoirs

This article focuses on the critical role of sedimentary basins in underground carbon storage. Focusing on both depleted petroleum reservoirs, as well as sedimentary reservoirs in the field’s petroleum stratigraphy (associated sedimentary reservoirs), it highlights the importance of complete CO2 storage in saline aquifers associated with petroleum reservoirs. This paper provides a novel approach to the understanding of underground carbon sequestration (UCS) by combining the examination of target reservoirs and regulation of activities in these reservoirs. By combining this consideration of physical characteristics with legal issues arising from the regulation of UCS, and their application to emerging Australian UCS projects, this novel evaluation of the progress in UCS provides a unique insight into Australian existing and planned UCS Projects. The findings of the research indicate that depleted petroleum reservoirs are more suited to enhanced oil recovery techniques, while associated sandstone reservoirs (saline aquifers) of the same formation are more suited to UCS. The suitability of a reservoir should be considered in the regulation of UCS activities. The example of Australia presented in this paper demonstrates the difficulties in such regulation.

The geoecological analysis of Lake Tuchne (Volyn Polissia) and assessment of sapropel reserves in it


 
 
 The administrative-territorial reform in Ukraine, which began in 2015, opened up prospects for newly created territorial communities to determine the resource potential of local territories under control and develop strategies for balanced nature use and their progressive development. The lakes, which have a significant potential for sapropel resources, take an important place in the Polissia region of Ukraine. Given the above, there is a need for a comprehensive study of specific lakes and justification of recommendations for the rational use and protection of their water and sapropel resources. The object of our research is Lake Tuchne, Volyn Polissia. The catchment area of Lake Tuchne is 10.05 km2, and the reservoir itself is 0.39 km2. A bathymetric model of the lake was built with a depth interval of 0.5 m. The vegetation index (NDVI) for the reservoir over the past five years has been varying from -0.53 (12/02/2021) to +0.48 (07/15/2021). The research presents a stratigraphic section of the reservoir sediments. The area of accumulated sapropel is 20.5 hectares, the average thickness is 4.46 m, and the maximum is 10.0 m. The ash content of sapropel varies within 17.5-37.5% (on dry substance). The content of Fe2O3 in the core ranges from 2.53% to 7.26%. The distribution of CaO compounds in the samples ranges from 2.09 to 8.12%. The CO2 content varies from 1.97 to 9.72%. The concentration of Р2О5 in sapropel samples is 0.19-0.53%. The distribution of S in sapropel deposits ranges from 0.23 to 1.09%. The pH (salt extract) distribution in the core samples varies from moderately alkaline (7.63) to close to neutral – 5.97. A digital landscape map of the lake was constructed with the selection of the littoral and sublittoral-profundal aqua sub-areas and five types of aquafacies. A landscape-metric analysis of the natural and aquatic complex of the lake was carried out. The potential of water resources of Tuchne lake is 827.0 thousand m3. Sapropel reserves of category A are 914,000 m3, and based on a conditional 60.0% humidity, they are 155,000 tons. The species composition of sapropel is represented by zoogenic, organo-ferrous, and organo-limestone species. The total stock of sapropel in the lake basin is 52.5% of its volume. The reservoir is promising for extracting sapropel due to its quality characteristics and hydro-technical prerequisites for operation. Mined sapropel can be used in agriculture, medicine, recreation, etc. Implementing this task will improve the geoecological state of the lake and the quality of its water resources.
 
 

Reservoir sediment removal using VMHS: storage loss vs. environmental impact

ABSTRACT Balancing between sediment removal discharge and dam reservoir storage loss considering river environmental impact is of major and practical concern. The paper presents indices for evaluating the sediment removal performance of a Vertical Multi-hole Hydrosuction System (VMHS) in view of environmental impacts. A new hole arrangement on the vertical pipe of VMHS was experimentally examined. The compiled data of the temporal variations of the sediment concentration and the cumulative volume of removed sediment demonstrated that the arrangement of the holes on the vertical pipe of VMHS has profound impact on the speed of sediment removal and on the reservoir water loss. The high concentration of the outflow from the reservoir, however, might affect the downstream water course environment. The proposed indices could be applied to determine the proper duration for terminating the hydrosuction process in order to obtain a balance between the storage capacity and the downstream water course environment.

Characteristics and Release Risk of Phosphorus from Sediments in a Karst Canyon Reservoir, China

With the continuous improvement of surface water environmental quality in China, sediment has gradually become the focus of research on internal pollution in reservoirs. To investigate the forms, distribution, and migration patterns of phosphorus in karst canyon reservoir sediments, we employed an improved sequential graded extraction method to determine phosphorus content in the sediments of the Wanfeng Reservoir. We studied the spatial distribution characteristics and release risk of phosphorus form in the sediments. The results showed that the total phosphorus (TP) content ranged from 79.37 to 438.04 mg·kg−1, while inorganic phosphorus (IP) content ranged from 77.32 to 424.64 mg·kg−1. Iron–aluminum-bound inorganic phosphorus (Fe/Al-Pi) accounted for 36.41% and was found to be the dominant form of IP. Organic phosphorus (OP) content ranged from 1.84 to 13.59 mg·kg−1, with weakly adsorbed organic phosphorus (H2O-Po) being the dominant form of OP. Potentially active inorganic phosphorus (NaHCO3-Pi) showed a highly significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) with Fe/Al-Pi, residual phosphorus (Res-P), and TP. This indicates that potentially active phosphorus (NaHCO3-P) is a significant potential source of phosphorus (P) in the reservoir. Biologically active phosphorus (BAP) content ranged from 66.97 to 201.46 mg·kg−1, with BAP/TP ratios ranging from 55.6% to 59.6%. The risk of phosphorus release from Wanfeng Reservoir sediments is high. The release of various forms of phosphorus from sediments is one of the important factors leading to the deterioration of water quality in the reservoir area in the future. To effectively manage water ecology in karst canyon reservoirs, it is essential to reduce the risk of endogenous phosphorus release.

Experimental study of reservoir flushing through a bottom tunnel initially covered by cohesive sediment

Reservoir sediment flushing, one of the most effective strategies for alleviating reservoir sedimentation, involves discharging sediment-laden flows downstream through bottom tunnels. However, whether flushing can be accomplished if the intake of a bottom tunnel is initially covered by cohesive sediment remains poorly understood. Here, flume experiments were done to investigate cohesive sediment flushing in a reservoir. It is demonstrated that cohesive sediment in a reservoir is harder to flush than non-cohesive sediment. A higher water level in the reservoir, initially smaller cover layer thickness, and lower dry density of the sediment favor the occurrence of sediment flushing. The flushing process of cohesive sediment is significantly affected by seepage. Under the combined action of gravity erosion and water erosion, the scour hole upstream of the dam is characterized by angular and broken edges. The threshold conditions for flushing of non-cohesive and cohesive sediments are evaluated. Empirical formulas applicable to both non-cohesive and cohesive sediment are proposed to estimate the equilibrium scour depth immediately upstream of the bottom tunnel intake. Also, empirical models are proposed for the time variation of sediment position in the bottom tunnel. The current findings are significant for informing the design and operation of reservoirs on rivers carrying fine-grained cohesive sediment in support of reservoir benefits and capacity preservation.

Possibility of Increasing the Completeness of Oil and Gas Recovery by Taking Into Account Natural Phenomena in Reservoirs

The low completeness of oil and gas recovery when using modern development systems is due to the fact that all development systems are based on the following postulates [1]: 1. There is a hydrodynamic connection within the entire reservoir; the fluid flow in it can be described in terms of Darcy's law. 2. During the reservoir development its filtration parameters are practically unchanged. 3. Hydrodynamic connection is absent between reservoirs in different tectonic blocks. 4. Productive deposits in conventional oil and gas reservoirs are mainly hydrophilic. 5. The properties of fluids in different parts of the reservoir are the same. The properties of residual oil when using water flooding are identical to the properties of the produced oil. Development experience and the results of special studies have shown that these postulates are erroneous. In practice, after establishing the absence of hydrodynamic connection within the entire reservoir, the first priority is to compact well spacing of development wells. In oil reservoirs, additional development wells are drilled predominantly evenly over the reservoir area, that is, almost blindly, without taking into account the large-scale heterogeneity of the reservoirs. In gas reservoirs, additional producing wells are drilled in stagnant zones, which are characterized by increased current formation pressures relative to gas recovery zones. As a result of field and laboratory work, we have identified natural phenomena that determine the fallacy of the above postulates, and it has been practically proven that the internal structure of reservoirs can be identified during their exploration and clarified during development. At the same time, a greater completeness of hydrocarbon recovery and a reduction in the costs of their production are achieved.

Seismic interpretation of the Mero Field igneous rocks and its implications for pre- and post-salt CO2 generation – Santos Basin, offshore Brazil

Understanding igneous rock emplacement is crucial for deciphering any sedimentary basin's evolution. Its occurrence can be a determining factor for elements of the petroleum system, such as hydrocarbon generation, migration, trap formation, and reservoir quality. The high-impedance nature of igneous rocks in relation to their surrounding host rocks renders amplitude anomaly-based attributes sufficient for the identification of igneous bodies within siliciclastic sequences. However, this is not necessarily valid in pre-salt settings because of the high-impedance carbonates that make the impedance contrast subtle. Furthermore, if the emplacement characterization of the various magmatic pulses that occur in a given area over geological time were better evaluated, it would be possible to assess the gases (such as CO2) they produce with higher reliability. In this paper, the principal geometric and petroelastic characteristics of the igneous rocks of the Mero Field are described in detail in order to estimate the thermogenic production of CO2. Both manual and semi-automatic seismic interpretation were carried out to quantitatively and properly reduce the uncertainties inherent to the seismic mapping of these rocks. Thus, a 3D probabilistic igneous facies classification was performed based on a Bayesian inference using the P- and S-impedance well log data available and seismic elastic inversion volumes. These volumes of occurrence probability were useful for semi-automatically extracting maps and geobodies, which, along with conventional manual seismic interpretation, provided hypothetical volumetric scenarios for Mero igneous rocks and also for CO2 production. Five main intrusive features were recognized based on mainly in seismic geometries found in the Mero Field, two of them being Lower Cretaceous rift-related magmatism synchronous with the pre-salt reservoir deposition and the other three being related to the Santonian/Campanian magmatism. The analyzed data suggests that deep intrusions were responsible for the installation of a multiple hydrothermal vent system in the Santos Basin. During pre-salt sedimentation in the Lower Cretaceous, the emplacement of tholeiitic sills, primarily in low-energy facies at structural depressions, may have played a significant role in the thermal alteration of the sedimentary framework and would have released a significant amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. It's possible that the reactivation and reuse of these older structures (i.e., sill-related hydrothermal vent complexes generated by tholeiitic intrusions) during alkaline Santonian/Campanian magmatism might have contributed further to the production of additional carbon dioxide, which would be trapped in pre-salt reservoirs in this instance.

Controlling factors and sources-specific ecological risks associated with toxic metals in core sediments from cascade reservoirs in Southwest China

Toxic metals (TMs) in reservoir sediments pose significant risks to ecosystem security and human safety, yet their presence in the cascade reservoirs of the Lancang River remains understudied. This research examined TMs in core sediments from the Manwan (MW) and Dachaoshan (DCS) cascade reservoirs, aiming to elucidate contamination characteristics, controlling factors, and source-specific ecological risks. The study revealed that the concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, and Zn in the MW Reservoir (37.3, 0.54, 95.1, 44.0, 0.09, 44.8, and 135.7 mg/kg) were notably higher compared to the DCS Reservoir (14.6, 0.30, 82.6, 31.0, 0.08, 36.6, and 108.7 mg/kg). While both reservoirs demonstrated elevated contamination levels of Cd and Hg, the MW Reservoir also exhibited high levels of As, whereas the DCS Reservoir showed relatively high levels of Pb. Mining activities in upstream metal deposits significantly correlated Cd, Hg, and Zn in the MW Reservoir with sulfur. In both reservoir sediments, Cr and Ni displayed a greater affinity for iron oxides, while As, Cd, Cu, Hg, and Zn showed more affinity with manganese oxides. Ecological risk index (RI) values in half of the sediments from the MW Reservoir ranged from 300 to 600, denoting a significant ecological risk. Conversely, in the DCS Reservoir, 93.3 % of the sediments exhibited RI values between 150 and 300, signifying a moderate ecological risk. Source-oriented ecological risks highlighted the need for particular attention to Cd from anthropogenic sources in the MW Reservoir. These findings underscore the importance of implementing measures for TM contamination prevention and control, contributing to strategic planning for sustainable water resource management in the Lancang-Mekong River.

Reservoir siltation and sediment characterization for reuse as construction material in a semi-arid area

Anibi S, Ellouze S, Zairi M. 2024. Reservoir siltation and sediment characterization for reuse as construction material in a semi-arid area. Lake Reserv Manage. 40:159–176. In this study, we investigated the siltation rate, evolution, and spatial distribution of sediments within the Siliana Dam reservoir, north-west Tunisia. We analyzed the geotechnical, chemical, mineralogical, and trace metal content properties of sediment samples collected from the reservoir. Additionally, we examined the potential valorization of reservoir sediments in road construction and the effects of hydrated lime treatment on their bearing characteristics. The Siliana dam reservoir is currently 50% silted up, and the sedimentation rate is approximately 1.52% per year. The sediments are mainly fine-grained, low organic with medium to high plasticity and high content of calcium carbonate. The sediments consist of calcite and quartz, with minor amounts of dolomite, hematite, and phyllosilicate minerals. Chromium, zinc, and copper contents in the sediments exceed environmental standards. The lime treatment improved the materials bearing capacity. Adding lime (5% by weight) resulted in an immediate bearing ratio of 26%, a higher ratio compared to the raw sediments. The study of the spatial and temporal evolution of sediment accumulation provides information to develop strategies for mitigating the accumulation of sediments. The sediment characterization evaluated the suitability of sediments to be used as construction materials, offering potential cost savings and contributing to informed decision-making for reservoir management.
