Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of soil and water loss monitoring in karst areas, and in particular to a soil and water loss monitoring system and a monitoring method for a small karst watershed based on nature. Background Art
[0002] Karst ecosystems are extremely fragile and highly sensitive to environmental changes. Ecological problems such as soil erosion, desertification, drought and flood disasters frequently occur, leading to backward regional development.
[0003] In recent years, a series of ecological restoration projects have been implemented in karst areas, but the monitoring and evaluation of the benefits after the implementation of the projects is still lagging behind. When monitoring and evaluating the benefits of ecological restoration projects in karst areas, soil erosion is a very important indicator. At present, this field generally monitors soil erosion by setting up runoff plots to simulate natural conditions. The standard runoff plot is 20m long and 5m wide, and generally includes four parts: a retaining wall, a water collection trough, a water pipe and a water measuring pool. The monitoring method is: install a water level meter in the water measuring pool to automatically record the water depth of the water measuring pool during rainfall, and finally convert it into the runoff generated in the runoff plot; after each rainfall generates runoff, first stir the water in the water measuring pool evenly, then collect water samples and filter the sediment, dry and weigh the filtered sediment, and calculate the soil loss of the runoff plot after a single rainfall.
[0004] At present, the defects of this technology are: 1) The runoff area is small, which can only simulate soil erosion under natural conditions, but cannot reflect the soil erosion situation under real natural conditions; 2) The water level meter is generally placed directly on the bottom of the measuring pool, which is easily swayed by the impact of the water flow, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. Summary of the invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a natural karst small watershed soil erosion monitoring system to solve the problems proposed in the above background technology that the runoff area cannot reflect the soil erosion situation under real natural conditions and the monitoring results are inaccurate.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A natural-based soil erosion monitoring system for a karst small watershed comprises a water collecting dam, a water collecting ditch, a monitoring hole, a water level gauge, a triangular weir plate, a grit chamber, a drain pipe, a filter screen, a diversion pool, a diversion pipe, and a collecting pool, wherein the water collecting dam is connected to the water collecting ditch, a monitoring hole is reserved on the wall of the water collecting ditch, a water level gauge is placed in the monitoring hole, a triangular weir plate is installed at the outlet of the water collecting ditch, the water collecting ditch is connected to the grit chamber, a drain pipe is installed at the bottom of the grit chamber, a filter screen is installed at the inlet of the drain pipe, the grit chamber is connected to the diversion pool, a drain pipe and a diversion pipe are installed at the bottom and top of the diversion pool respectively, the diversion pool is connected to the collecting pool through the diversion pipe, and a drain pipe is installed at the bottom of the collecting pool.
[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the monitoring hole is 1-2 cm larger than the diameter of the water level gauge.
[0009] Furthermore, the triangular weir plate is made of stainless steel plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the drainage pipe and the diversion pipe are made of PVC pipes.
[0011] A monitoring method based on a natural karst small watershed soil erosion monitoring system comprises the following steps:
[0012] (1) Find suitable valley locations in the ecological restoration project implementation area to build a soil erosion monitoring system. The length and angle of the water collection dam will be determined based on the actual situation on site, with the basic principle of being able to block the runoff from upstream;
[0013] (2) On the topographic map, delineate the catchment area of the water collection dam, i.e., the monitored karst small watershed, and calculate its area S;
[0014] (3) Set the monitoring frequency of the water level meter to once every 15 minutes, then place it at the bottom of the monitoring hole 3, and regularly export the water level data recorded by the water level meter;
[0015] (4) The runoff Q passing through the triangular weir plate is calculated using the following formula (1):
[0016] Q=∑0.014*(h i -Δh) 5 / 2 (1)
[0017] Among them, h i represents the i-th water level data recorded by the water level gauge, in cm; Δh represents the vertical distance from the bottom of the triangular weir plate to the bottom of the sedimentation tank, in cm; the runoff Q is in L / s;
[0018] (5) Whenever the water level in the collecting tank approaches the diversion pipe, open the drain pipe, drain the water in the grit chamber, diversion tank and collecting tank, take out all the sediment in the grit chamber, diversion tank and collecting tank, dry and weigh them, and close the drain pipe for the next monitoring after the sediment is cleaned;
[0019] (6) Calculate the soil erosion modulus A of a small watershed within a hydrological year according to the following formula (2):
[0020] A=(∑W1 i +∑W2 i +∑W3 i *(n-1)) / S (2)
[0021] Among them, W1 i 、W2 i 、W3 i They represent the amount of sediment removed from the sedimentation basin, diversion basin and collection basin for the i-th time in a hydrological year, respectively, in t; n represents the number of diversion pipes; S represents the area of the monitored karst small watershed, in km 2 ; Soil erosion modulus A is in t / (km 2 a).
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] By building a water collection dam at the mountain pass, the runoff and sediment generated under natural conditions in the karst small watershed can be collected. Compared with the traditional soil erosion monitoring method, the monitoring range is larger and can better reflect the soil erosion conditions under real natural conditions; by setting up monitoring holes, the water level meter can be prevented from swinging due to the impact of water flow, resulting in inaccurate measurement results; by setting up a sedimentation tank, most of the sediment can be precipitated, reducing the amount of sediment entering the collecting pool and avoiding blockage of the diversion pipe; by setting up a diversion pool and a diversion pipe, only a small part of the runoff and sediment is allowed to enter the collecting pool, which can avoid excessively large collecting pools and the workload of cleaning up sediment.
