Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water ecological environment protection, in particular to a fish habitat and a method for transforming a material pit into a fish habitat. Background Art
[0002] During the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects, it is usually necessary to excavate soil and rock from the slopes on both sides of the river as a source of engineering materials. With the continuous mining of soil and rock, a large-scale pit is eventually formed on one side of the river bank. In order to reduce the height of the excavated slope, the pit often extends for a long distance along the river channel, and its length can reach more than 1.0 km. The formation of the pit has a significant impact on the local natural landscape. In order to restore the original appearance of the landscape and beautify the environment, the existing treatment method is mainly to backfill the pit with soil and rock debris, followed by landscape transformation or land reclamation. However, backfilling the pit requires the excavation and transportation of a large amount of soil and rock debris, which not only significantly increases the cost of the project, but also causes secondary damage to the environment. Therefore, studying the comprehensive reuse method of the excavated pits of water conservancy and hydropower projects is of great value in reducing project investment, improving the water ecological environment, and promoting the green construction of hydropower and water conservancy projects. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention provides a fish habitat and a method for transforming a material pit into a fish habitat, aiming to solve the problems of difficulty in backfilling slag with material pits formed after soil and stone materials are mined along rocky river banks during the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects, and high investment in reclamation and greening. The present invention is particularly suitable for the comprehensive utilization and treatment of soil and stone material pits formed after soil and stone materials are mined along river banks during the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects.
[0004] The present invention provides the following technical solutions to achieve the above objectives: A fish habitat comprises an original river channel, with a plurality of fish habitats arranged on one side of the original river channel and along the direction of water flow, a water retaining rock step arranged between the original river channel and the plurality of fish habitats, the elevations of the plurality of fish habitats gradually decreasing along the direction of water flow, and rolling dams arranged between the plurality of fish habitats; a connecting port is opened on the side adjacent to the original river channel between the fish habitat at the highest elevation and the fish habitat at the lowest elevation, and a water retaining dam is arranged in the connecting port.
[0005] Furthermore, a fish passage is provided between two adjacent levels of fish habitats. The fish passage includes rack columns, and fish troughs are provided on the tops of the rack columns.
[0006] Furthermore, the slope of the fish passage is set to be less than 3%, the width of the fish passage is set to be not less than 2m, and stones are placed in the fish passage.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottoms of the plurality of fish habitats are paved with stones, and vines are arranged inside the plurality of fish habitats.
[0008] A method for transforming a feed pit into a fish habitat comprises the following steps: S1. Select impermeable sections and stable bank pits as candidate sites for fish habitat reconstruction and test the bank slope stability of the candidate sites; S2. Select the reconstruction area from the candidate sites, implement support measures for the material pits with insufficient bank slope stability, build water retaining rock sills on the side of the material pits close to the original river channel, and divide the material pits into sections along the direction of water flow; S3. Build rolling dams at the sections of the pit, lay stones at the bottom of the pit, and plant vines around the pit; S4. Build a fish passage on the rolling dam; S5. Build an upstream water retaining dam on the water retaining rock sill of the highest-level material pit and a downstream water retaining dam on the water retaining rock sill of the lowest-level material pit, so that the material pit is connected with the original river channel.
[0009] Furthermore, the step S2 divides the material pit into sections along the water flow direction in order to maximize the submerged water surface area and reduce the number of rolling dams and the engineering workload, and takes into account the pit bottom slope and plane shape.
[0010] Furthermore, the step S2 divides the material pit into sections along the direction of water flow in order to maximize the submerged water surface area and reduce the number of rolling dams and the amount of engineering work, and considers the pit bottom slope and plane shape, and the division length is set to be no less than 100m.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the rolling dam is set to be arc-shaped, and the height of the rolling dam is set to be 5 to 10 meters.
[0012] Furthermore, the block stone paving thickness is 1 to 2 meters.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The project investment is low and the renovation and construction is simple. The water retaining dam divides the material pit into multiple levels of water storage and transforms the material pit into a suitable habitat for fish spawning. This avoids the problems of using soil and rock slag backfill in the existing material pit, which requires a large amount of soil and rock slag backfill, is insufficient, and requires high investment in pit reclamation and greening. The method of the present invention is simple to construct the material pit renovation. The amount of engineering involved, such as the water retaining dam, backfilling of pit bottom blocks, and planting of vines around it, is not large. Moreover, the water retaining dam and block stones can be made of excavated materials from the original soil and rock quarry, which is easy to obtain and saves engineering investment.
[0014] (3) Significantly improved the aquatic ecological environment of the project. The transformation of the material pit has, on the one hand, reduced the exposed area of the material pit bank slope, reducing the damage to the ecology caused by the construction project; on the other hand, it has increased the water area of the river channel, transforming the material pit into a suitable habitat for fish spawning, significantly improving the aquatic ecological environment of the project.
[0015] (3) It is beneficial to the development of local social economy and increase local economic income. By using the technology of the present invention, the material pit can be transformed into a suitable habitat for fish to spawn, which is beneficial to the development of local fish farming, serving the local social economy and increasing economic income.
