Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water environment monitoring equipment, and in particular to a device and method for detecting water transparency using suspended matter and chlorophyll sensors. Background Art

[0002] Water transparency is a comprehensive indicator of water quality that reflects physical, chemical, and biological processes within the water. It is also a limiting factor in the growth and distribution of submerged plant communities and is often used as a key indicator for determining the recovery of aquatic vegetation and measuring the effectiveness of ecological restoration. Water transparency also affects the visual perception of the water, making improving water transparency a crucial task in aquatic ecological restoration projects.

[0003] Currently, the traditional Secchi disk method is commonly used to measure water transparency. The Secchi disk is a circular iron disk with alternating black and white colors. To measure water transparency, a ruler is inserted through the disk's center hole. The disk is first placed tangent to the water surface, and the ruler's scale is noted. The disk is then immersed in the water until the black and white boundary on the disk is just out of sight. The ruler's scale is then noted again, and the difference between the two marks represents the water transparency. However, this method suffers from the following challenges in practical application: First, the Secchi disk is significantly affected by wind and waves, preventing it from being lowered vertically below the water surface. Instead, it is often positioned at an angle to the surface, resulting in low accuracy. Second, determining the "just out of sight" boundary on the disk is difficult during measurement, and different testers have different standards for determining this boundary, leading to significant subjectivity in test results.

[0004] Literature research and actual monitoring work revealed that water clarity is significantly affected by suspended matter and phytoplankton. Chlorophyll a is often used in water quality monitoring to characterize phytoplankton abundance, and therefore, water clarity exhibits a good correlation with suspended matter concentration and chlorophyll a concentration. To address the low accuracy of Secchi disk measurements and the high technical requirements for personnel, a device and method for measuring water clarity using suspended matter and chlorophyll sensors is urgently needed.

[0046] A1: Collect water quality data of the application basin. In the application field of using the detection device to detect water transparency, select several points with large differences in water quality, and collect the suspended matter concentration, chlorophyll a concentration, and water transparency value of each point. The suspended matter concentration and chlorophyll a concentration in this embodiment are directly detected by suspended matter sensor 2 and chlorophyll a sensor 3 respectively, and the water transparency value is detected by the Secchi disk method. Furthermore, the number of points with large differences in water quality is selected to be 30-60 points. (SS represents suspended matter concentration; Chla represents chlorophyll a concentration; SD represents water transparency value)

[0047] A2: Set the extreme values ​​of suspended solids concentration and chlorophyll a concentration. Arrange the SS values ​​and Chla values ​​of the points obtained in step A1 in ascending order into SS series and Chla series, and obtain the maximum value of the SS series A. max , minimum value A min ; The maximum value in the Chla sequence is B max , the minimum value is B min .

[0048] A3: Establish a transparency value calculation model. Substitute the SS values, Chla values, and SD values ​​of several points detected in step A1 into the following data calculation model formula:

[0049] The formula between suspended matter concentration and water transparency is: SD = a1·SS a2 , substitute several SS values ​​and several SD into the above formula and perform fitting to obtain parameters a1 and a2;

[0050] The formula between chlorophyll a concentration and water transparency is: SD = b1·Chla+b2. Substitute several Chla values ​​and several SD into the above formula and perform fitting to obtain parameters b1 and b2.

[0051] The formula between suspended solids concentration, chlorophyll a concentration and water transparency is: SD = c1 SSc2 +c3·Chla+c4, substitute several SS values, several Chla values, and several SD into the above formula and perform fitting to obtain parameters c1-c4.

[0052] A4: Enter the transparency value calculation model established in step A3 into the photoelectric conversion and data processing module 5, and set the operating program; the details are as follows:

[0053] A4.1: First, use the suspended matter sensor 2 to detect the suspended matter concentration in the water. If the suspended matter concentration is higher than the A value in step A2, min ~A max Between, run the calculation formula SD=a1·SS a2 Calculate water transparency values;

[0054] A4.2: If the suspended solids concentration is not above the A in step A2 min ~A max At this time, the chlorophyll a sensor 3 detects the chlorophyll a concentration in the water body. If the chlorophyll a concentration is in step B of step A2 min ~B max Between, run the calculation formula SD = b1·Chla+b2 to calculate the water transparency value;

[0055] A4.3: If the chlorophyll a concentration is not in step B of step A2 min ~B max Then run the calculation formula SD=c1·SS c2 +c3·Chla+c4 calculates the transparency of water.

[0056] A5: Conduct large-scale water quality monitoring in the basin;

[0057] The detection device with the transparency value calculation model entered in step A4 is immersed in the water body, the suspended matter sensor 2 detects the suspended matter concentration in the water body, the chlorophyll a sensor 3 detects the chlorophyll a concentration in the water body, and calculates the water transparency value according to the program set in step A4; the photoelectric conversion and data processing module 5 transmits the calculated water transparency value to the transparency value display storage module 6 for display and storage.

[0058] Preferably, in step A3, the calculation model formula SD=a1·SS a2 The parameter range is as follows: 300≤a1≤450, -0.8≤a2≤-0.6.

[0059] Preferably, in step A3, the parameter range of the calculation model formula SD=b1·Chla+b2 is as follows: 3≤b1≤5, 24≤b2≤30.

[0060] Preferably, in step A3, the calculation model formula SD=c1·SS c2 The parameter ranges in +c3·Chla+c4 are as follows: -1.005×10 5 ≤c1≤-1.004×10 5 , -0.07≤c2≤0.07, 1.4≤c3≤2.2, 1.005×10 5 ≤c4≤1.006×10 5 .

[0061] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, in step A5, the suspended matter sensor 2 and the chlorophyll a sensor 3 are immersed in the water body. The detection device can be fixed by hand; or fixed on the hull 7, and the installation position is 10-20 cm below the water surface 8 of the hull 7 to ensure that the suspended matter sensor 2 and the chlorophyll a sensor 3 are fully immersed below the water surface 8; or the detection device is fixed at a certain point in the water body to detect the change of water transparency at the fixed point over time.

[0062] Preferably, the method can be applied to transparency detection of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and various inland water bodies.

[0063] Now take a certain data as an example to perform the steps of the above method, specifically:

[0064] First, according to step A1, 47 water quality difference points were selected and the SS value, Chla value, and SD value of each point were collected;

[0065] Then proceed to step A2, sort the above 47 SS values ​​and Chla values ​​from small to large, and obtain A max =50.2mg / L, A min =5.6mg / L; B max =22.83μg / L, B min =1.03 μg / L;

[0066] Then proceed to step A3 and substitute the 47 SS values ​​and SD values ​​in step A1 into the formula SD = a1·SS a2 In the fitting, we get a1 = 380.49; a2 = -0.68 (as Figure 5 47 Chla values ​​and SD values ​​were substituted into the formula SD = b1·Chla+b2 for fitting, and b1 = 3.95 was obtained; b 2= 27.55 (as Figure 6 Substitute 47 SS values, Chla values, and SD values ​​into the formula SD = c1 · SS c2+c3·Chla+c4, and fitting was performed to obtain c1=-100421.17; c2=2.29×10 -4 ; c3 = 1.77; c4 = 100531.56 (as Figure 7 As shown). Therefore, the above three formulas are: SD = 380.49 × SS -0.68 (Goodness of fit R 2 =0.88), SD = 3.95 × Chla + 27.55 (goodness of fit R 2 =0.72), SD=-100421.17×SS 0.000229 +1.77×Chla+100531.56(goodness of fit R 2 =0.85), where the goodness of fit R 2 The closer it is to 1, the better the fitting effect;

[0067] Then the above three formulas together with the program are entered into the photoelectric conversion and data processing module 5, and the detection device is immersed in the water body for detection;

[0068] For example, if the suspended solids concentration and chlorophyll a concentration at a certain point are 10.0 mg / L and 10.0 μg / L respectively, that is, the SS value is within the range of 5.6-50.2, then the formula SD=380.49×SS -0.68 Calculate the water transparency by substituting SS=10.0 mg / L into the above formula, and calculate that SD is about 79 cm. SD=79 cm is displayed on the transparency value display storage module 6, and the relevant information is stored at the same time.

[0069] For example, if the suspended matter concentration and chlorophyll a concentration at a certain point are 4.0 mg / L and 10.0 μg / L respectively, that is, the SS value is not within the range of 5.6-50.2, then the water transparency is calculated using the formula SD=3.95×Chla+27.55. Substituting Chla=10.0 μg / L into the above formula, the calculated SD is approximately 67 cm, and SD=67 cm is displayed on the transparency value display storage module 6, and the relevant information is stored at the same time.

[0070] For example, if the suspended solids concentration and chlorophyll a concentration at a certain point are 4.0 mg / L and 0.90 μg / L respectively, that is, the SS value is not within the range of 5.6-50.2, and the Chla value is not within the range of 1.03-22.83, then the formula SD = -100421.17 × SS 0.000229 The water transparency is calculated by adding 1.77×Chla+100531.56. Substituting SS=4.0 and Chla=0.90 into the above formula, the calculated SD is approximately 113 cm, and SD=67 cm is displayed on the transparency value display storage module 6, and the relevant information is stored at the same time.

[0071] The device and method for detecting water transparency using suspended matter and chlorophyll sensors according to the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0072] 1. This invention rapidly detects water transparency by establishing a correlation between water transparency and suspended matter concentration and chlorophyll a.

Furthermore, the device and method of this invention are simple to operate and easy to use, effectively improving the efficiency of watershed water quality monitoring.

[0073] 2. The present invention utilizes the suspended matter sensor 2 and the chlorophyll a sensor 3 to realize real-time monitoring of water quality, and can quickly reflect the water transparency, which greatly saves the manpower and time costs of monitoring the transparency of the watershed. The monitoring results of transparency are also more objective, effectively avoiding the influence of human and environmental factors.

[0074] 3. The present invention reduces manual operations. After entering the water transparency value calculation model, no manual operation is required. It can be fixed at a certain point in the basin to monitor the changes in water transparency over time.

[0075] 4. The present invention solves the problem that the traditional Secchi disk method is easily affected by human and environmental factors when measuring water transparency.

[0076] Therefore, the present invention effectively overcomes various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.

Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
