Características de história de vida de peixes de pequeno porte sob o efeito de diferentes regimes hidrológicos em planície de inundação tropical

Tondato, Karina Keyla January 2013 (has links)
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar traços de história de vida de peixes de pequeno porte sob o efeito de diferentes regimes de inundação no Pantanal. As amostragens foram realizadas nas regiões Norte (Rio Cuiabá) e Sul do Pantanal (Rio Paraguai), que apresentam regimes hidrológicos diferenciados. Inicialmente, foram obtidos dados de 623 indivíduos da espécie Odontostilbe pequira no Pantanal Sul, para análise de estrutura populacional e traços reprodutivos. Não foi observada variação significativa na distribuição de comprimento entre os sexos. O período reprodutivo foi longo para ambos os sexos (10 meses), com maior intensidade entre os meses de Junho e Julho. Não ocorreu correlação entre o índice gonadossomático (IGS) de ambos os sexos com a temperatura da água e pluviosidade temporalmente. Os machos não apresentaram associação entre o IGS e o nível do rio, mas uma correlação marginalmente significativa foi observada nas fêmeas. Contudo, foi observado o efeito do nível histórico do rio sobre o IGS para ambos os sexos, indicando que o regime de inundação tem influência decisiva na atividade reprodutiva de O. pequira, proporcionando a ocorrência de desovas mesmo que a pluviosidade e temperatura apresentem baixos valores. O. pequira, pode ser caracterizada como uma espécie de “estratégia oportunista”, apresentando longo período reprodutivo, desova parcelada e elevada fecundidade, com atividade reprodutiva fortemente associada com o regime de inundação. Posteriormente, foram utilizados dados de comprimento de 977 indivíduos de O. pequira no Pantanal Sul, para análises adicionais de traços de história de vida entre os sexos. O comprimento assintótico (L∞) estimado para fêmeas foi maior (39,59mm) que para os machos (37,57mm). As fêmeas também apresentaram maior taxa de crescimento (k=0,93 ano-1) e mortalidade natural (Z=1,56 ano-1) em relação aos machos (k=0,82 ano-1; Z= 1,45 ano-1). Através das curvas de crescimento foram registrados 3 coortes completas para as fêmeas, com longevidade estimada em 3,22 anos, e, 4 coortes para os machos, com longevidade de 3,65 anos. O padrão de recrutamento foi longo para ambos os sexos, não sendo observada variação significativa na forma da distribuição do recrutamento entre os sexos. Constatamos correlação entre o recrutamento e o nível do rio para ambos os sexos, com pico de recrutamento em Julho e Junho para fêmeas e machos, respectivamente, corroborando com o período reprodutivo da espécie e com a associação com o regime de inundação no Pantanal Sul. Finalmente, foram obtidos dados de comprimento das espécies Bryconamericus exodon, Hyphessobrycon eques, O. pequira, Moenkhausia dichroura, Hypoptopoma inexpectatum e Eigemnannia trilineata, nas regiões norte e sul do Pantanal, para realizar as comparações intra e interespecífica. As espécies não apresentaram diferença significativa na forma de distribuição de comprimento entre as regiões. O L∞ das espécies apresentou variação intraespecífica entre as regiões, com os maiores valores para as populações da região norte (exceção, E. trilineata). A taxa de crescimento (k) e mortalidade (Z) apresentou variação intraespecífica entre as regiões, com quatro espécies (B. exodon, H. eques, O. pequira e M. dichroura) demonstrando menores k e Z, e maiores L∞ na região Norte, sugerindo que a região norte oferece condições mais favoráveis em relação à região Sul. Não ocorreu variação intraespecífica entre as regiões para o número de coortes e longevidade. O padrão de recrutamento não apresentou variação intraespecífica entre as regiões, apresentando longo período de recrutamento e picos para todas as espécies entre Junho e Agosto. Na região Norte, o padrão de recrutamento de quatro espécies (B. exodon, H. eques, M. dichroura e H. inexpectatum) não apresentou correlação significativa com o nível histórico do rio Cuiabá, entretanto, essas espécies apresentaram covariação negativa, além de duas espécies (O. pequira e E. trilineata) apresentarem correlação negativa significativa, apresentando picos de recrutamento com a diminuição do nível da água. Na região Sul, cinco espécies (B. exodon, H. eques, M. dichroura, H. inexpectatum e O. pequira) estiveram associadas significativamente com o nível histórico do rio Paraguai, com picos de recrutamento em níveis mais elevados de água, indicando que o regime de inundação tem influência decisiva no padrão de recrutamento (exceção, E. trilineata). Enfim, as espécies apresentaram variação intraespecífica na maioria dos traços de história de vida, mas não há ampla variação, inclusive no padrão de recrutamento que não se altera intra e interespecificamente, evidenciando tanto a força da ancestralidade de táxon (filogenia), como das condições ambientais locais regidas pelo regime de inundação, respectivamente. / The present study aimed to evaluate life history traits of small sized fish according to different flooding regimes in the Pantanal. Samplings were performed in Northern (Cuiabá River) and Southern Pantanal (Paraguai River), which present distinct hydrological regimes. First, data of 623 individuals of Odontostilbe pequira in Southern Pantanal were analyzed as for population structure and reproductive traits. No significant variation was found in length distribution between sexes. The reproductive period was long for both sexes (10 months), with higher intensity between June and July. No correlation was detected between the gonadosomatic index (GSI) of both sexes with water temperature and rainfall over time. Males presented no association between GSI and river water level, but a marginally significant correlation was observed for females. However, it was verified the effect of the historical river level on the GSI for both sexes, indicating that the flooding regime has a decisive influence on the reproductive activity of O. pequira, by promoting spawning even if rainfall and temperature present low values. O. pequira can be characterized as an opportunistic species, presenting a long reproductive period, multiple spawning and high fecundity with reproductive activity strongly associated with the flooding regime. Afterwards, length data from 977 individuals of O. pequira in Southern Pantanal were used for additional analysis on life history traits between the sexes. The asymptotic length (L∞) estimated for females was higher (39.59mm) than for males (37.57mm). Females also presented higher growth rate (k=0.93 year-1) and natural mortality (Z=1.56 year-1) than males (k=0.82 year-1; Z= 1.45 year-1). By means of growth curves, 3 cohorts were recorded for females, with longevity estimated at 3.22 years, and 4 cohorts for males, with longevity of 3.65 years. The recruitment pattern was long for both sexes, without significant variation in recruitment distribution between the sexes. There was a correlation between recruitment and river water level for both sexes, with a recruitment peak in July and June for females and males, respectively, corroborating with the reproductive period of the species and with the association with the flooding regime in Southern Pantanal. At last, length data of Bryconamericus exodon, Hyphessobrycon eques, O. pequira, Moenkhausia dichroura, Hypoptopoma inexpectatum and Eigemnannia trilineata, in Northern and Southern Pantanal, were used for intra- and interspecific comparisons. Species have not presented significant difference in length distribution between regions. The L∞ of species exhibited an intraspecific variation between the regions, with higher values of the populations from the Northern Pantanal (except for E. trilineata). The growth (k) and mortality (Z) rates presented intraspecific variation between the regions, with four species (B. exodon, H. eques, O. pequira and M. dichroura) revealing lower values of k and Z, and higher L∞ values in Northern Pantanal, suggesting that this region provides more favorable conditions than the Southern region. There were no intraspecific variations between the regions for the number of cohorts and longevity. The recruitment pattern also had no intraspecific variation between the regions, presenting a long recruitment period and greater peak for all species between June and August. On the Northern region, the recruitment pattern of four species (B. exodon, H. eques, M. dichroura and H. inexpectatum) showed no significant correlation with historical level of the Cuiabá River, but these species presented a negative covariation; besides that, two species (O. pequira and E. trilineata) presented a significant negative correlation, with recruitment peaks with decreasing water level. In the Southern Pantanal, five species (B. exodon, H. eques, M. dichroura, H. inexpectatum and O. pequira) have been significantly associated with the historical level of the Cuiabá River, with recruitment peaks at higher water levels, pointing out that the flooding regime has a key influence on the recruitment pattern (except for E. trilineata). Finally, species presented intraspecific variations in most of life history traits, but there is no wide variation, including in the recruitment pattern that does not change intra- and interspecies, evidencing both the control of the taxa ancestry (phylogeny) and of local environmental conditions ruled by the flooding regime, respectively.

O primeiro fenômeno ocorre de forma sazonal, no período de maior pluviosidade, provocando o aumento dos níveis de água no canal fluvial. No segundo caso, as águas extravasam o canal, alcançando o leito maior, dito excepcional. Nesse caso, as causas desse fenômeno estão atreladas a interferência antrópica no sistema bacia hidrográfica, como resposta ao aumento da vazão e aumento da velocidade dos picos de cheias. Nesse contexto, tais fenômenos tornam-se uma situação de risco para a população, principalmente nas grandes cidades, que em geral, cresceram de modo acelerado e desorganizado, sendo a urbanização seu principal fator gerador. A análise morfométrica é uma importante ferramenta para a compreensão da dinâmica geomorfológica e para o planejamento das atividades socioeconômicas nas bacias hidrográficas. Os índices morfométricos podem fornecer importantes informações para o planejamento, como por exemplo, a suscetibilidade a ocorrência de enchentes e inundações. Tal abordagem permite conhecer o modo como os principais processos do ciclo hidrológico se comportam em determinada bacia, tais como a infiltração e escoamento superficial. O estudo morfométrico da bacia do rio Jaguaribe, localizada no contexto urbano da cidade de João Pessoa/PB, utilizou o índice de circularidade, a densidade de drenagem, o fator forma e o coeficiente de compacidade, cujos valores encontrados para o estudo indicam uma bacia com baixa suscetibilidade a ocorrência de enchentes. A caracterização física da área de estudo revela a ocorrência de um relevo esculpido sobre rochas sedimentares, semiplano e tabular, pouco dissecado, havendo poucas áreas de declives acentuados. Os canais fluviais apresentam poucas variações altimétricas, o que garante um fluxo laminar, de baixo poder erosivo. Essa relativa estabilidade encontrada na caracterização física da referida bacia, é perturbada pelo processo de urbanização observado nos últimos 35 anos, que tem se refletido na formação de acentuados processos erosivos na porção interfluvial da bacia e o consequente assoreamento dos canais fluviais. Some-se a esse aspecto o aumento do escoamento superficial, causado pela impermeabilização do solo e a construção de residências dentro da planície e do canal fluvial. A conjugação desses fatores resulta na formação de áreas de risco de enchentes e inundação, além do risco de movimentos de massa, que por sua vez, surgem como produtor do modo como ocorre o uso e ocupação da terra. Portanto, a ocorrência de áreas de risco na bacia do rio Jaguaribe é resultado da relação dos aspectos físico-naturais com o modo de uso e ocupação da terra. / Floods and inundations are a geomorphological phenomenon that results from the increased flow of rainwater draining a watershed. The first phenomenon occurs seasonally in the higher rainfall period, causing an increase in water levels in the river channel. In the second case, the waters are outside the channel, reaching the larger bed, said exceptional. In this case, the causes of this phenomenon are linked to anthropogenic interference with the river basin system, in response to increased flow and increased speed of flood peaks. In this context, such phenomena become a hazard for the population, especially in large cities, which generally grew fast and disorganized way, urbanization and its main generating factor. The morphometric analysis is an important tool for understanding the geomorphological dynamics and planning of socioeconomic activities in river basins. The morphometric indices can provide important information for planning, such as susceptibility to occurrence of floods and flooding. Such an approach allows to know how the main processes of the hydrological cycle behave in a particular basin, such as infiltration and runoff. The morphometric study of the basin of the Jaguaribe river, located in the urban context of the city of João Pessoa / PB, used the circularity index, drainage density, form factor and compactness coefficient, whose values found in the study indicate a bowl with low susceptibility to the occurrence of floods. The physical characterization of the study area reveal the occurrence of a sculpted relief on sedimentary rocks, half-plane and tabular, little dissected, there are few areas of steep slopes. Fluvial channels have few altimetric variations, which ensures a laminar flow, low erosive power. This relative stability found in the physical characterization of the basin, is disturbed by the urbanization process observed in the last 35 years, which has been reflected in the formation of sharp erosion in interfluvial portion of the basin and consequent siltation of river channels. Added to this aspect increased runoff caused by soil waterproofing and construction of residences within the plain and river channel. The combination of these factors results in the formation of areas of flood risk and inundation, and the risk of mass movements, in turn, arise as a producer of the way of how the use and occupation of land takes place. Therefore, the occurrence of risk areas in the basin of the river Jaguaribe is the result of the relationship of the physical and natural aspects with the mode of use and occupation of land.

Foram estudadas diversas estratégias, através de simulação numérica, visando a aplicação desta técnica com dados pertinentes a um campo da bacia do Espírito Santo. As estratégias têm diferentes opções como a injeção cíclica prévia e a colocação de obturadores no poço produtor. O desempenho do processo de recuperação para as diferentes estratégias é comparado sempre com aquele obtido para o processo do Dual Well - SAGD para as mesmas condições. São feitas também comparações com a produção primária por poço horizontal e entre as diversas estratégias geradas. A influência de alguns parâmetros - comprimento e posição entre poços, zona de injeção e produção - são apresentados. Com todas estas estratégias de melhoria para o processo SW-SAGD, alcança-se um processo com recuperação maior que os resultados decorrentes do SAGD tradicional com dois poços. / Abstract: The Single Well Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SW-SAGD) is a tertiary recovery process developed with an single horizontal well. The objective of this research is to study, with numerical simulation, the application of the SW-SAGD technique to a field dates located in the Espírito Santo Basin. Several strategies were studied for this process using previous cyclic injection and packers. The strategies improved the horizontal well production and enhanced the oil recovery. Comparisons are made along the study between the performance of oil recovery for the developed strategies and the performance of the DW-SAGD at the same operating and field conditions. Comparisons with the primary recovery using horizontal wells and between the strategies were used to improve and choose the best options. The influence of some parameters - length and position between wells, injection and production zones - are presented. As a result of all the improvement, a new strategy for the SW-SAGD process is reached, providing an oil recovery higher than from the DW-SAGD. / Mestrado / Reservatórios e Gestão / Mestre em Ciências e Engenharia de Petróleo

No. of bitstreams: 1 tese_sydney_antonio_frehner_kavalco.pdf: 629125 bytes, checksum: c7216562b0d7d403e883238ff048975d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-12-03 / Flooding, as well as salinity, drought, toxicity (Na, Fe, Al, B, Mn) and freezing are the main abiotic stressors that restrict the growth and development, promoting the expression reduction of the genetic potential in plants. The physiological responses of sensitivity to stress are differently reported, and flooding tolerance may vary from only a few hours to several days or weeks. This time difference is given by the structural differences possibilities among species, by number of tillers per plant, by specific tissues directly affected, by the development stage and the temperature conditions of cultivation. The tillering is one of the three main components of grain yield in cereals and is determined by the capacity of the plant has to produce and fill the ears. Is closely linked to the ability of plants have to tolerate the flooding stress. Flooded soils are present in several Brazilian states. Only in Rio Grande do Sul are 5.4 million ha of flooded soils, from these around 1 million ha is used to produce rice, the rest of these area remains under-utilized for the cereal production. In this scenario the pursuit of better adapted cultivars to flooding stress, has very importance due to the need for more productive, tolerant and more competitive genotypes with a better relation of cost and crop production. In this work 15 segregating populations and six wheat cultivars were evaluated for tolerance to flooding stress, in the years 2010, 2011 and 2012. The objective of this study was to identify the effectiveness of pedigree method for selection in flooded soils, if there is genetic variability for flooding tolerance in wheat, the effect of stress on grain yield and cycle traits and what are the best parents in respect to segregating populations by combining ability of each genotype. Statistical analyzes of data were performed using the programs GENES (CRUZ, 2006) and R (CORE TEAM, 2012), using analysis of variance, data normality, average test by Tukey method at 5% of significance level, estimating the general and specific combining abilities for each genotype and canonical variable analysis. The results indicate that the flooding stress in wheat is closely linked to the ability of the plants have to detect and respond to the stress stimulation, statistically significant differences were found for grain yield and cycle traits. The parents who had higher general combining ability were BRS177, Figueira and IPR85. The most promising genotypes for selection to flooding tolerance are represented by populations 02 (Juriti x IPR85), 07 (CEP29 x BRS177), 08 (CEP29 x Safira), 12 (Figueira x IPR85) 13 (BRS177 x Safira) and 14 (BRS177 x Figueira) with greater emphasis on the populations 02, 13 and 14. / O encharcamento, assim como a salinidade, o déficit hídrico, a toxicidade (Na, Fe, Al, B, Mn) e o congelamento são os principais estressores abióticos que restringem o crescimento e desenvolvimento, promovendo a diminuição da manifestação do potencial genético das plantas. As respostas fisiológicas de sensibilidade ou não ao estresse são diferentemente reportadas, sendo que a tolerância ao encharcamento pode variar de somente poucas horas para muitos dias ou semanas. Esta diferença de tempo se dá pelas possíveis diferenças estruturais entre as espécies, pelo número de afilhos da planta, pela especificidade dos tecidos diretamente afetados, pelo estágio de desenvolvimento e pelas condições de temperatura do cultivo. O afilhamento é um dos três principais componentes do rendimento de grãos em cereais e é determinado pela capacidade que a planta possui de produzir e encher as espigas. Estando intimamente ligada a capacidade que as plantas possuem de tolerar o estresse por encharcamento. Solos encharcados estão presentes em vários estados brasileiros. Somente no Rio Grande do Sul 5,4 milhões de ha são de solos encharcados, destes em torno de 1 milhão de ha é utilizado com o cultivo do arroz, o restante desta área permanece subaproveitada para a produção de cereais. Neste cenário a busca de cultivares melhor adaptadas ao estresse por encharcamento, se faz de suma importância, devido à necessidade de genótipos mais produtivos, tolerantes e mais competitivos em relação ao custo benefício da produção de cereais. Neste trabalho 15 populações segregantes e 6 cultivares de trigo foram avaliadas para tolerância ao estresse por encharcamento, nos anos agrícolas de 2010, 2011 e 2012. O Objetivo deste trabalho foi de identificar se o método genealógico é eficiente para seleção em solos encharcados, se existe variabilidade genética para tolerância ao encharcamento em trigo, qual o efeito do estresse sobre caracteres do rendimento de grãos e do ciclo e quais os melhores genitores em relação às populações segregantes pela capacidade de combinação de cada genótipo. As análises estatísticas dos dados coletados foram realizadas pelos programas GENES (CRUZ, 2006) e R (Core Team, 2012), utilizando análises de variância, normalidade dos dados, teste de médias pelo método de Tukey a 5% de significância, estimativas da capacidade de combinação geral e específica para cada genótipo e a análise por variáveis canônicas. Os resultados indicam que o estresse por encharcamento em trigo está intimamente ligado à capacidade que as plantas têm de detectar e responder aos estímulos do estresse, diferenças estatísticas significativas foram encontradas para caracteres do rendimento de grãos e de ciclo. Os genitores que apresentaram maior capacidade geral de combinação foram o BRS177, o Figueira e o IPR85. Os genótipos mais promissores para seleção visando à tolerância ao encharcamento são representados pelos cruzamentos 02 (Juriti x IPR85), 07 (CEP29 x BRS177), 08 (CEP29 x Safira), 12 (IPR85 x Figueira), 13 (BRS177 x Safira) e 14 (BRS177 x Figueira) com maior destaque para os cruzamentos 02, 13 e 14.

Plant species that occur over a heterogeneous environment are subject to conditions of multiple stresses due to the variety of weather conditions. In this context, water stress, flooding or deficit, has a profound impact on ecological and agricultural systems. The kinetics of chlorophyll a fluorescence is a quite sensitive to environmental stress, and small changes in structure and operation, can be easily detected by their analysis. This work was divided into three experiments, with the aim of evaluating the variation of the kinetics of chlorophyll fluorescence in the plants of the genus Prunus. The first was conducted in the field, the Centro Agropecuário da Palma, with six treatments (rootstocks) associated with Maciel. They were accompanied by a period of approximately 150 days the length of the leaf chlorophyll content and chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetics. The second and third experiments were conducted in a greenhouse to cultivate plum America (P. salicina) cultivar and hybrid-cup "GxN-9" (P.dulcis Mill. X P.persica L. Batsch) respectively. In both experiments, plants were kept for 11days under water restriction and 10 days of flooding, with three treatments (control, drought and flooding). Analysis of gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence were monitored regularly every three days. During the experiment a variation of fluorescence parameters are affected by ontogeny of the leaves and especially the high rainfall recorded at 97 days of the beginning of the experiment. By analyzing of JIP-Test, damage to the photosynthetic system were checked, along with the best association with Maciel x rootstock Rubirá. In experiment 2, plum plants subjected to water stress, showed a reduction in photosynthesis due to reduced stomatal conductance and the increase in the flow dissipation by reaction center (DI/RC) most striking under conditions of water deficit. In the third experiment, the lowest photosynthetic activity of the hybrid "GxN-9" is related to the decrease in carboxylation efficiency, while the quantum yield of electron transport was more affected by flooding. Thus, the results suggest that plants plum America is growing more sensitive to water deficit conditions, and the rootstock hybrid "GxN-9", the conditions of soil flooding. / O crescimento e o desenvolvimento de plantas da família das rosáceas apresentam variações dos processos fisiológicos durante o ciclo anual. Espécies vegetais que ocorrem ao longo de um ambiente heterogêneo estão sujeitas as condições de múltiplos estresses devido à variedade das condições climáticas. Nesse contexto, o estresse hídrico, por alagamento ou déficit, tem profundo impacto sobre sistemas ecológicos e agrícolas. A cinética da fluorescência da clorofila a, apresenta-se bastante sensível ao estresse ambiental e, pequenas alterações de estrutura e funcionamento, podem ser facilmente detectadas por meio da sua análise. Este trabalho foi dividido em três experimentos, com o objetivo de avaliar a variação da cinética da fluorescência da clorofila a em plantas do gênero Prunus. O primeiro foi conduzido a campo, no Centro Agropecuário da Palma, com seis tratamentos (portaenxertos) associados a cultivar copa Maciel. Foram acompanhadas por um período de aproximadamente 150 dias o comprimento da folha, o índice de clorofila e a cinética da fluorescência da clorofila a. O segundo e terceiro experimento, foram conduzidos em casa de vegetação com a cultivar de ameixeira América (P. salicina) e a cultivar-copa do híbrido GxN-9 (P.dulcis Mill. X P.persica L. Batsch) respectivamente. Em ambos os experimentos, as plantas foram mantidas durante 11 dias sob restrição hídrica e 10 dias de alagamento, totalizando três tratamentos (controle, seca e alagamento do solo). Análise de trocas gasosas e fluorescência da clorofila a, foram acompanhados regularmente a cada três dias. Durante o experimento 1 a variação dos parâmetros de fluorescência sofreu interferência da ontogenia das folhas e principalmente, da alta pluviosidade registrada aos 97 dias do

Översvämningars påverkan på åkermark i Mälardalen – en jämförelse mellan den nuvarande och den nya regleringen av Mälaren / The Impact of Flooding on Arable Land in Mälardalen – a Comparison Between the Current and the New Regulation of Lake Mälaren

Sjöholm, Lotta January 2016 (has links)
Risken för översvämningar runt Mälaren idag är stor, vilket riskerar att drabba både städer och stora områden med jordbruksmark i Mälardalen. I samband med att Slussen i centrala Stockholm byggs om kommer regleringen av Mälaren att ändras. Den nya regleringen innebär bland annat att avtappningskapaciteten ökas, vilket syftar till att minska risken för översvämningar. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att redogöra för vilka konsekvenser olika stora översvämningar i Mälaren skulle kunna få på åkermark i Mälardalen samt att jämföra konsekvenserna vid den nuvarande och den nya regleringen. För att göra detta har kartor över översvämningar vid ett 10 000-årsflöde för de två regleringarna producerats med hjälp av geografiska informationssystem (GIS). Dessa har sedan använts för att beräkna arean översvämmad åkermark. Översvämningars varaktighet vid 100-, 1 000- och 10 000-årsflöden i sjön har även beräknats. Resultaten visar att betydligt större områden med åkermark skulle översvämmas vid ett 10 000-årsflöde med den nuvarande regleringen jämfört med den nya regleringen samt att varaktigheten hos en översvämning vid 100-, 1 000- och 10 000-årsflöden förkortas avsevärt med den nya regleringen. Eftersom långvariga översvämningar innebär större konsekvenser på åkermark än kortvariga översvämningar blir konsekvenserna på åkermark mindre med den nya regleringen jämfört med den nuvarande regleringen. / The risk of flooding around Lake Mälaren today is great and both cities and large areas of agricultural land in Mälardalen are at risk. When Slussen in central Stockholm is rebuilt, the regulation of Lake Mälaren will be altered. Changes in the new regulation include increase of the discharge capacity, which aims to reduce the risk of flooding. This report aims to describe which consequences floods in Lake Mälaren might have on arable land in Mälardalen and to compare the consequences of the current and the new regulation. To do this maps of the extent of the 10,000-year flood for the two regulations have been produced using geographic information systems (GIS). These maps have then been used to calculate the flooded area of arable land. Also the duration of the 100-, 1,000- and 10,000-year floods in the lake have been calculated. The results show that much larger areas of arable land would be flooded at a 10,000-year flood with the current regulation compared to the new regulation and that the duration of the 100-, 1,000- and 10,000-year floods will be considerably shorter with the new regulation. Because long-term flooding means greater impacts on arable land than short-term flooding, the impact on arable land will be less with the new regulation compared to the current regulation.

Caractérisation des irrigations gravitaires au moyen d'un modèle d'écoulement et de mesures in-situ : application à l'optimisation de l'irrigation du foin de Crau par calan / Adaptation of irrigation practices to a decrease in the availability of water resources : development of scenarios and quantify their impacts

Alkassem-Alosman, Mohamed 30 September 2016 (has links)
Sur la région de la Crau, le système l’irrigation gravitaire appliqué aux prairies de foin joue un rôle important dans le maintien du cycle hydrologique en étant le principal contributeur à la recharge de la nappe souterraine de la Crau (70 à 80% de la recharge). Dans le futur, des pressions sur la ressource en eau alimentée ce système d’irrigation risquent de s’accroître du fait des changements climatiques et de l’augmentation des autres usages de l’eau (domestiques,industriels, ..) et induisent la nécessité de l’optimisation de ce système afin de maintenir l’état des ressources en eau souterraines. Cette optimisation nécessite la connaissance des vrais quantités d’eau apportées à la parcelle qui sont mal connues, et de spatialiser ces quantités à l’échelle du territoire. Ainsi, l’objectif de ce travail est de développer une méthodologie permettant d’améliorer la quantification de ces volumes à deux échelle (parcellaire et régionale). Un système numérique incluant un modèle d’irrigation gravitaire dénommé ‘Calhy’ a été développé au cours de ce travail. Ce système permet de caractériser le fonctionnement des principaux processus intervenant dans ce système d’irrigation (infiltration de l’eau dans le sol et la propagation à la surface de la parcelle). Mais l’estimation de ces processus est limité par la connaissance de certains paramètres non mesurables, tels que la conductivité hydraulique à saturation du sol et la rugosité hydraulique de la surface parcellaire. Une analyse de sensibilité AS a été menée dans un premier temps au cours de ce travail afin de définir la contribution de la variation de chaque paramètre non mesurable sur la variance des variables de sortie. Les résultats montrent la possibilité d’estimation ces paramètres à partir des accessibles variables auxquels ils sont sensibles. Ainsi, une méthode d’inversion s’est basé sur les résultats d’AS, combine le modèle Calhy et un dispositif expérimental a été appliqué dans un second temps pour l’estimation paramètres et valider l’approche proposée. Les résultats montrent que cette approche est robuste et efficace pour estimer ces paramètres. A la fois les paramètres ont été issus pour démarrer le système (estimés ou mesurés), nous avons étudié différentes modifications du système d’irrigation actuel (changement de la pente de la parcelle, du sens d’irrigation, l’apport de l’eau en différents points de la parcelle, ….), et leurs impacts sur l’homogénéité de l’infiltration et la durée de l’irrigation.296En parallèle, Nous avons établi un modèle empirique de dose d’irrigation basé sur l’analyse des pratiques d’irrigation investigués auprès des enquêtes procédés chez les agriculteurs. Différents modèles empiriques ont été développés en basant sur des régressions calculant la dose d’irrigation et la durée en fonction du débit disponible et des paramètres parcellaires caractérisant les conditions d’irrigation tels que la géométrie de la parcelle (longueur, largeur et surface). Le modèle de dose empirique investigué au cours de ce travail permet de fournir une estimation de la dose distribué sur tout le territoire de la Crau en intégrant ce modèle dans le simulateur de laCrau. / Worldwide, the irrigation accounts for 70% of all water consumption: understanding therelationship between irrigation and ecosystems and optimizing the irrigation practices cancontribute to the sustainability management of water resources. In the Crau region (southern ofFrance), the flooding irrigation system used for irrigating the hay fields plays an important role inwater cycle: in this system, considerable amounts of water are brought to the hay fields (about 20000 m3/ha/year i.e. 2 000 mm), which participate strongly to the recharge of the Crau aquifer(between 66% and 80% of the recharge). In the future, the pressures on the availability of waterresources that feed this irrigation system (the reservoir of Serre Ponçon) may increase because ofthe climate change and the increase in the another water uses. Thus, it becomes necessary tooptimize the irrigation practices in order to conserve the water and ensure a sufficient rechargefor aquifer of the Crau. This optimization requires i) the knowledge of the amount of waterbrought to the plot that are not currently known, ii) spatialize these amounts over the regionalscale. This work aims to develop a methodology to improve the quantification of these volumesat the field and regional scales. A numerical system that includes a flooding irrigation modelcalled 'Calhy' was developed, takes into account the main processes involved in this irrigationsystem (water infiltration into the soil and the runoff of water slide over the plot surface). Firstly,a sensitivity analysis was conducted in order to classify the Calhy’s parameters according to theirimportance and define an optimal experimental apparatus allowing to estimate them using aninverse approach. Secondly, an inversion procedure based on the proposed experimental297apparatus and the previous model was implemented on several plots in the study area. The resultsshow that the important parameters can be estimated and then Calhy can be used to analyse andoptimize irrigation practices. Then, different optimization scenarios were identified. In parallel,we developed an empirical model of irrigation dose based on the analysis of irrigation practicesin a group of exploitations in the study region. Different empirical models were developed;regressions were used to compute the irrigation dose and duration from geometricalcharacteristics of the borders (length, width and surface) and available water inflow rate. Theempirical model of irrigation dose developed in this work would provide a spatial estimation ofirrigation doses overall plots in the study region, and would contribute to a better quantificationof water recharge of the Crau aquifer and its locations.

Drainage of flooded water : effects on baseflow in Awanui Stream, New Zealand

Thorsell, Anna January 2012 (has links)
In the Heretaunga Plains area, New Zealand, parts of the low lying land adjacent to the Awanui Stream are flooded annually. The purpose of the study was to find out if the flooding water trapped in the field gets sealed off from infiltrating the soils in any way (and hence is unavailable to replenish the stream flow). What would be the effects on stream base flow if pumping of the flooding water would occur direct to the stream after wet periods and heavy rains? The method of this project was to investigate the infiltration, soil type and ground water conditions in the field. The infiltration was investigated with the help of a double ring infiltration test, a disc permeameter that measures hydraulic conductivity, and pvc-pipes with core samples were saturated for an extended period of time to find out if there was any kind of seal forming during saturated conditions. The soil in field was sampled and a soil fraction test was performed. The potential evaporation was measured with an evaporation pan and calculated with data from a climate station in field. With flow records from the outgoing drain, potential evaporation and precipitation data a rough water balance model could be created. The results showed that there is no seal formed in the top part of the soil profile preventing the water from infiltrating. The flooding water is the result of a rising groundwater table, on top of a thick clay layer seven meters down in the ground. Once the flooding water has drained and evaporated away there is nothing wrong with the infiltration rate in field. There are very fine particles of silt and clay in the top soil that decreases the infiltration rate and can cause a separation of the ground water and the water above land surface. When the project was finished two recommendations could be given to the landowner to solve the problem with the flooding. The recommendations were to either re-level the field to get the surface water to runoff towards the drains instead of being trapped in the current low parts of the field. Or to dig drains from Horonui Drain and Cambell Drain into the field's low parts and in that way drain the flooding water away. / I området Heretaunga Plain, Nya Zeeland, översvämmas årligen delar av det låglänta området kring floden Awanui Stream. Syftet med den här studien var att ta reda på om översvämningsvattnet i fält hindras från infiltration i jorden på något sätt (och kan där med inte bidra till basflödet till floden). Vad skulle effekterna på basflödet i floden bli om översvämningsvattnet pumpades direkt ut i floden efter våtare perioder och större regn? Metoden för att svara på detta var att undersöka infiltrationen, jordtyperna och grundvattenförhållandena i fält. Infiltrationen undersöktes med hjälp av dubbelring infiltrationstest, en s.k. disc permeameter användes för att undersöka den hydrauliska konduktiviteten och PVC-rör med borrkärnor ställdes under vattenmättadeförhållanden en längre tid för att ta reda på om infiltrationen då skulle förändras. Jorden i fält provtogs och ett kornstorlekstest utfördes. Den potentiella avdunstningen mättes med en evaporationspanna och beräknades med data från en klimatstation i fält. Med flödesdata från diket med utgående vatten, potentiell avdunstning och nederbördsdata kunde en grov uppskattning av vattenbalansen i fält göras. Resultaten visade att det inte bildas någon hinna som hindrar infiltrationen av vatten i den övre delen av jordprofilen. Översvämningen är ett resultat av en stigande grundvattenyta, som stiger från ett tjockt lager av lera 7 meter ner i marken. När vattnet har dräneras och avdunstat bort är det ingenting som hindrar infiltrationen i fält. Det är dock väldigt fina partiklar av silt och lera i den översta torvjorden som minskar infiltrationshastigheten och kan orsaka en separation av grundvatten över och under markytan. När projektet var avslutat kunde två rekommendationer ges till landägaren om hur man kan lösa problemet med översvämningen. Rekommendationerna var att antingen skulle landägaren kunna göra om marknivån i fält för att få ytvattnet att rinna av mot dikena istället för att vara fast i de lägre partierna av fältet. Eller att gräva diken in i fältet från Horonui Drain och Cambell Drain in till de lägre översvämmade områdena i fält för att dränera bort översvämningsvattnet.

Regnvatten från hustak som resurs : Användning av takavrinningsvatten som resurs och kvalitetskriterier

Ask, Paulin January 2017 (has links)
Flooding from rainwater in megacities around the world is a major problem which is growing even bigger with the scenarios that has been predicted by IPCC. The problem has to be taken care of somehow and one possible solution could be to use the water once it just hit the ground area. This study will show some of the opportunities we have to use runoff water from roofs with local solutions in Gothenburg and analyse quality differences of run off-water with raw water from the river Göta Älv, which today is used as drinking water in Gothenburg. Among some of the existing solutions for rainwater today, for example stone filter and trees, the result will show specifically one solution which is used at Stadsbyggnadskontoret in Gothenburg city center. The results of the run off-water show higher values of metals, nitrogen and phosphorus than Göta Älv and comparison between run off from green roof and run off from other roof materials shows lower values of the same chemical parameters. Since the values are taken from a report which contains schablon values, the results are just symbolic. A hypothetical calculation which shows that one year of estimated volume rainwater on a building example could provide for either 31 people/year total consumption or 100 people/year only for laundry and flushing toilets.

Naturkatastrofer i Sverige

Eriksson, Therese January 2017 (has links)
To be able to plan and construct a Swedish society that is well prepared for geological hazards, the government need to know about past event that has happened during the history, so they know how to plan for the future. Highly possible events that will happen are flooding, landslides, volcanic gases in the atmosphere and earthquakes. Flooding is the hazard that we need to consider most when we construct new infrastructure and buildings in the future. Climate changes will cause more precipitation and extreme weather, these will lead to more flooding when the water isn’t able to percolate down into the ground. When the ground is saturated with water another problem will be even more common, and that is a bigger frequency of landslides. The most dramatic consequence that would occur is from volcanic gases that go up into the atmosphere at an eruption, these can change the climate and create acid rain far away from the volcanic source. It isn’t just the direct hazards we need to consider while constructing the society, the question regarding nuclear waste and its long-term storage is highly important. Therefore is it very important to carefully consider where, and when big earthquakes have occurred since the last glaciation. / För att kunna planera och bygga upp ett Sverige som är förberett för potentiella geologiska faror och problem, behöver samhället ha koll på olika event som hänt i historien som kan påverka samhällets olika funktioner. Event som kan ske och som kan hota samhällsuppbyggnaden är tillexempel översvämningar, skred och ras, klimat påverkan från vulkanisk aktivitet samt jordbävningar. Översvämningar är den fara som är mest frekvent i Sverige och som vi inför framtiden kommer behöva skydda samhället mest emot. Klimatförändringarna världen står inför ger en ökning av nederbörd i olika former, när jorden blir vattenmättad ökar även riskerna för skred markant vilka också kommer öka i frekvens. De största dramatiska och mest utspridda farorna som kan påverka Sverige är om ett avlägset vulkanutbrott sker. Aerosolerna som hamnar i atmosfären kan ge ett förändrat klimat långt ifrån källan och i vissa fall påverka hela jorden, samtidigt som försurning av regnvatten kan ske. Det är inte bara direkta risker och faror samhället står inför idag som behövs beaktas när samhället struktureras och byggs upp, jordbävningsrisken i olika delar av landet efter en glaciation behöver undersökas där kärnbränsle skall slutförvaras för att förhindra eventuellt framtida läckage av radioaktivt kärnbränsle.
