SWAT modeling of the soil properties in GIS-environment: initial calculations

The problem of soil parameters modeling and input data preparation are considered in the article. The use of Soil and Water Assessment Tool was analyzed. The question of the soil water content and basic soil agronomic characteristics was considered. The SWAT project was created for the period of 2014-2017 years and could be prolonged. A soil map and cartographic information were digitized for the analysis of soil characteristics. An assessment of soils moisture absorption in different key areas was made in the course of the research

Water quality analysis and simulation

The actuality of the study is caused by the needs of water resources state assessment, which natural supply is insufficient. The article analyzes the quality of surface water and groundwater using processed statistical data and the results of mathematical modeling in the GIS environment. The results showed that the quality of water sources under current anthropogenic load is normal, but subsequent monitoring of the situation is required. There is no significant relationship between the quality of surface water and groundwater

Modeling of Heavy Armocement Deformation for the Conical Shape of the Heat Accumulator Body by the Methods of Computer Engineering

The computer simulation of the structural material is required to study the stress-strain state of the structural material of the high-pressure hull (in particular, the heat accumulator body). Laboratory experiment requires significant financial expenses, which is a significant drawback of this type of study. Therefore, the authors considered finite element modeling of structural material by adapting modern software systems for calculating the considered models. A modern design solution for high-pressure hulls of heat accumulators made of non-prestressed reinforced concrete involves the usage of heavy reinforcement cement as a structural material. The proposed method allows gaining rather certain calculations avoiding time-consuming laboratory research

Water deficits in the water economics complex of Crimea

In recent years, the natural and economic situation in the Republic of Crimea has developed in such a way that the amount of available water resources is less than the amount of water necessary for the socio-economic development of the peninsula. This article considers one of the main water management hazards for the territory of Crimea: a lack of water. The aim of this study was to assess the water deficit and determine ways to minimize the impact of risk exposures on the population, the economy and the ecosystem as a whole. Options are provided to ensure that (1) the water economic complex supplies water to consumers in sufficient quantity and quality, and (2) the ecological status of water bodies is maintained at a high level. For example, local wastewater treatment and desalination of sea water can be used in agro-industry and the water economic complex both for individual agricultural producers and for large enterprises. The economic efficiency of the use of technologies to reduce the environmental threats of the water economic complex was assessed using technologies to increase water availability. The analysis of the quality of water resources is given, and options for improving the indicators of raw water-pipe water are proposed

The water exchange and water quality improvement measures on the example of the Gulf of Cheboksary

This paper is dedicated to the Gulf of Cheboksary. The gulf has an important recreational and decorative function. It has been an integral part of the urban landscape for several decades. There is an eutrophication process, accompanied by the development of blue-green algae and the appearance of an odour in early spring, despite the water quality improvement measures. Measures that will improve the water exchange in the Gulf are proposed in this paper. Problems with the sanitary condition of the water body can occur without taking these measures. Therefore, the theme of this research is quite urgent

Estimating some hydrophysical properties of soil using mathematical modeling

At substantiating land amelioration and land management designs, as well as during periods of operation and reconstruction of water facilities, information support plays an important role in relation to the hydrophysical properties of soil. Effective implementation of this support faces a number of challenges. Such problems include the very high laboriousness of carrying out the corresponding engineering surveys and laboratory studies. In this regard, the methods of indirect estimating the hydrophysical properties, the measurement of which requires considerable labor, are very in demand for land amelioration and land management practices. An equally acute problem is the problem of the functional representation of the coefficients of the Richards equation, which is widely used in engineering-hydrological calculations. The paper suggests: 1) the original method for assessment of the ratio of the values of the hydraulic conductivity function of soil to the moisture filtration coefficient using data from direct measurements of the water-retention capacity of soil carried out according to the standard procedure; 2) the mathematical model describing the hydrophysical properties of soil, and the system of functions with interpreted parameters that physically adequately describe the coefficients of the Richards equation. In carrying out the study, data on soils of different texture were used. A sufficiently low error in the dot approximation (fitting-procedure) of the experimental data confirms the physical adequacy of the proposed system that includes the functions describing the coefficients of the Richards equation
