Abstract Based on the theory of unsteady flow and non-equilibrium sediment transport, a 2-D simulation model of flood routing and sediment transport in the lower reach of the Yellow River has been developed. The model is built by non-structural irregular grids, combining with finite difference and finite volume methods, in which the significant influences of overbank storage, local leve and scouring (silting) in the process of flood propagation can be well considered.

Effect of aeration and sediment laden on boundary
shear stress in high velocity flow

Huang Xibin Yuan Yinzhong
(Hohai University)

Abstract In a special circulating system with high velocity flow, boundary shear stresses in clear water flow, aerated flow and sediment laden flow are measured. It is found that the probability distribution of the fluctuating magnitude of boundary stress obeys the normal distribution. Based on the experimental data, the relationship between shear stress and flow velocity is analyzed and the effect of air and sediment laden content on boundary shear stress is discussed. It is shown that the higher the air concentration and the less the sediment laden, the less the shear stress.
Key words
 boundary shear stress, transducer, sediment laden flow, aeration.

Theoretical analysis of stochastic response of soil water storage
to evapotranspiration flutuation

Luo Yi Lei Zhidong Yang Shixiu
(Tsinghua University)

Abstract Based on the assumption that potential evapotranspiration consist of two part,of which one follows a deterministic seasonal trend and another fluctuates randomly around the former,and the water balance equation governing the soil water movement in the root-zone,a conceptual-stochastic model is established.The model is a stochastic differential equation.The corresponding Fokker-Planck equation is derived on the basis of further assumption that the normalized random term of evapotranspiration follows the white noise process.The numerical solution of Fokker-Planck equation is obtained and the mean and deviation process of state variables are tested with the field experimental data.The comparisons show that:1.The established model is valid and can be used to predict the soil water storage in root-zone,2.The prediction deviation of SWS increases with time which may bring some difficulties for the accurate long lead time prediction of SWS.Finally,it iis suggested that the colored noise process of the random term of evapotranspiration must be taken into account in the model so that the prediction deviation of SWS could be reduced.

The Water Resources Value

Shen Dajun,Liang Ruiju,Wang Hao,Jiang Yunzhong
(China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research)

Abstract The paper firstly presentedthat that the wate resources value consisted of three components:property right, shortage and working value.The property right is the essential prerequisite for rational water allocation and effective water use.The shortage requires that the water user should make compensation to the potential users.Furthermore,the degree of the shortage determines that the values of the water resources are different among regions.The working value means that a portion of the resource value comes from the labor and material consumption in surveying,monitoring, protection and management of water resources.
 The paper first reviewed the definitions and attributes of general natural resources,then focused on the characteristics of water resources.The authors discussed the water resources value from the angles of the land rent,working value, shadow price,marginal utility,non-use value theory,and gave the definitions of the water value.This definition provides the theoretical basis for the water resources pricing,and is helpful to promote the management pattern that the resources management is separated from the asset's management.
