Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

At present, the awareness of global ecological protection has increased unprecedentedly, and people have a new understanding of infrastructure construction including water conservancy projects. The construction of water conservancy projects must not only meet the needs of human society, but also meet the needs of maintaining the sustainability of the ecosystem and maintaining biodiversity. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the combination of ecology and engineering to grasp the direction and strategy of ecological restoration, build an eco-friendly water conservancy engineering technology system, and protect and restore the health and sustainability of aquatic ecosystems including rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands etc.

This Special Issue aims to study the impact of water conservancy project construction on the ecological hydrological process of the watershed, and what measures should be taken to protect and restore the health and sustainability of the aquatic ecosystem.

The background values of pollutants are becoming increasingly prominent in evaluating water quality and management, and their load and output characteristics are of great significance to the study of changes in the background values. Thus, this paper studies the estimation method for background pollutant fluxes into a river in a forested river source in northeastern China with deficient data or without data. Based on the results of a soak experiment and leaching experiment, as well as natural rainfall runoff experiments, the conversion relationship of the pollutant concentration in the medium was established, the transformation relationship of the pollutant concentration in the medium was established, its load into the river in a small watershed was estimated, and the estimation method was verified according to the measurements (average relative error: 20.5%). Then, the background pollutant loading into the river was calculated on a large scale by improving the pollutant output coefficient model and the universal soil loss equation (average relative error: 18.7%, 24.7%). The results show that the method mentioned above can better reflect the background pollutant loading into the river. This study provides an effective strategy to estimate the background pollutant loading into rivers in areas without data or with missing data, and also provides a theoretical basis for the study of zoning and the formulation of a water environment evaluation system based on background values.
