Extraction of valley lines from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a hot research spot in geological and hydrological field. Based on grid DEM, a valley lines extraction method was proposed and implemented by IDL&ArcGIS Engine mix programming. First the initial valley line extraction was implemented in IDL based on its morphological characteristics. Second the original valley line data was export into ArcGIS Engine, and combined with hydrological features, a further valley line extraction was made so as to generate the final valley line information. Finally a validation was proposed to export the valley line data into Google Earth to overlay with the image. The experiment result demonstrates the correctness of the algorithm.

Shortage of water resources will be one of the major challenges for human beings in future. Water saving is the embodiment of the low carbon economy. The problem of water resources shortage in Hebei province is extremely severe, for example, the amount of shortage reached 8.309×109 m3 in 2010, so the supply and demand contradiction is very obvious. Especially in recent years, that severely reduction of surface water and seriously overexploitation for groundwater cause many geological problems. The issues of water pollution, low utilization efficiency of water resources, and serious water waste need to be solved. In addition, to ensure the water supply to Beijing and Tianjin aggravates the tense of water resources shortage in Hebei province, so in order to make up for the future water demand gap, Hebei must carry out more scientific planning and management for water resources, and reduce water demand and waste. This paper puts forward some practical solutions such as: establishing water-saving agricultural production system; implementing overall planning, developing new water sources; monitoring groundwater level, raising consciousness of reasonable exploitation groundwater; unifying distribution of water supply and drainage, developing low polluted industries and manufacturing industries; increasing forest covered area; improving public awareness of environmental protection. It is also very important to encourage water-saving policies by the governments and to motivate enthusiasm of private and public departments.

Twelve tides of water samples were collected from the leading edge of the salt marsh area in Chongming in the spring (May, 2007) and summer (June and July, 2007). The nitrite was analyzed by the ion-chromatographic analyzer. Monitoring studies show that the average nitrite concentration in the spring is more than in the summer, and the variation concentration of nitrite in the spring is greater intensity than in the summer. Based on this, we analyzed the vertical and tidal cycle variation in the spring and summer. There is complex relationship between nitrite and water environmental factors and flow velocity.

The flow distribution of water supply network node was a necessary requirement of the hydraulic model. Node flow should reflect the working condition of the whole network as much as possible. Node flow used hierarchical metering zone allocation method when water distribution network structure is complex and large scale. Known node flow was according to the nearest pipe method in the second metering zone. Non-revenue water node flow was according to the unit line method in the third metering zone. According to the calculation, the node of water distribution network model water consumption variance was basically consistent. Hierarchical metering zone allocation method was better than the traditional one.

The aim of this paper was to research influential factors of crop water productivity in irrigable land of arid area oasis. In middle reach of Heihe River in Linze County of Zhangye City, maize, a major crop in irrigable land in the oasis, was studied and nine influential factors were chosen through grey relation analysis. According to the analysis results, top five factors influencing water productivity of maize during 1995-2009 were as follows: applied quantity of chemical fertilizers>;labors input>;seeds>;mulch amount>;pesticide amount, which indicated that controllable factors, instead of uncontrollable ones, dominate in influence of water productivity of maize in the oasis irrigated area. With limited water resource, investment of controllable factors in high-efficient agricultural production should be the major strategy to improve water productivity of maize in irrigable land of arid area oasis.

Vegetative filter strip (VFS) is a new kind of ecological engineering measure for the control of nonpoint source pollution. For investigating the application of mathematical models in the planning and designing of vegetative filter strip, the vegetative filter strip hydrology and sediment transport model (VFSMOD) was used to analyze the effect of VFS' width and slop on the sediment load removal rate in Heihe water source area, thus determining the appropriate planning scheme of vegetative filter strip. Subsequently, the linear relationships between the unit load of TP, TN and unit sediment were used to estimate the watershed nonpoint source pollution load reduction efficiency of VFS. The results showed that the grass filter strips with width in the range of 3 ~ 5 m was advisable and should not be used on slopes with gradient of higher than 60°; when VFS was constructed on parts of sensitive riparian in the water source area, the incoming load of sediment, TP and TN could be reduced by 22.14, 12.66 and 14.60%, respectively. VFS could play an important role in the water quality protection of Heihe water source area.
