DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0055] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0056] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a grid-based source-tracing method and system for sewage outfalls, and a storage medium, including the grid-based source-tracing method for sewage outfalls, the grid-based source-tracing investigation system for sewage outfalls, and the computer storage medium.

[0057] The grid-based source-tracing method for sewage outfalls specifically includes the following steps: dividing a river into multiple reaches and corresponding monitoring sites, providing an online water level and conductivity monitoring device at each of the monitoring sites, and conducting a grid-based investigation for a sewage outfall based on soft measurement; determining a river reach with sewage outfalls according to monitoring data of the reaches; and intensively arranging, for a reach with serious sewage discharge, monitoring sites to subdivide an investigation range, thereby implementing source tracing on the sewage outfall of the river. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the grid-based source-tracing method includes the following steps:

[0058] A river is divided into n reaches, and a conductivity of each of monitoring sites is acquired, the monitoring sites being consistent with positions for dividing the reaches. A chloride concentration C.sub.i of each of the monitoring sites is acquired according to a corresponding chloride concentration-conductivity curve, i∈[1,n].

[0059] A water level of each of the monitoring sites is synchronously acquired, and a flow of each of the monitoring sites is acquired according to a corresponding flow-water level curve.

[0060] For a reach including a tributary, a conductivity and a water level of the tributary of the reach are monitored synchronously to obtain a water flow Q.sub.Ti and a chloride concentration C.sub.Ti of the tributary.

[0061] A river reach with sewage outfalls is determined according to variations of chloride concentrations and chloride loads of upstream and downstream monitoring sites.

[0062] For a reach with serious sewage discharge, monitoring sites are intensively arranged by dichotomizing to subdivide an investigation range, thereby implementing source tracing on the sewage outfalls of the river.

[0063] The chloride as a conservative substance is selected as the water quality monitoring indicator. As the chloride concentration is positively related with the conductivity, and the conductivity can be monitored online, monitoring of the chloride concentration is converted into monitoring of the conductivity based on soft measurement.

[0064] The chloride concentration-conductivity curve is specifically drawn as follows:

[0065] Water samples are acquired in the dry weather, the monitoring sites being consistent with the positions for dividing the reaches. The samples are continuously acquired once every 2 hours for 2-3 days. For each sampling point, it is required to acquire water samples at 0.5 m below the water surface. Following the acquisition of the water samples every day, they are sent to laboratories immediately to measure the conductivities and the chloride concentrations.

[0066] With a chloride concentration as a y axis and a conductivity as an x axis, linear fitting is performed on the monitoring data with a least-squares method to obtain the chloride concentration-conductivity curve.

[0067] As the water level is more easily monitored than the flow in the river, monitoring of the flow is converted into monitoring of the water level based on soft measurement.

[0068] The flow-water level curve is specifically drawn as follows:

[0069] A flow and a water level of each of the monitoring sites are synchronously acquired once every 4 h for 2-3 days.

[0070] With a flow as an x axis and a water level as ay axis, polynomial fitting is performed on the monitoring data with the least-squares method to obtain the flow-water level curve.

[0071] The flow is monitored with a tracer-dilution method, specifically including:

[0072] NaCl is selected as a tracer. A NaCl solution of a known concentration is instantly injected into an upstream station of the river, and water samples are continuously acquired at the downstream monitoring site until the tracer passes through the monitoring site completely. The conductivities of the water samples are monitored and converted into the chloride concentrations to obtain a time-varying curve of chlorides at the monitoring site. According to the chemical mass balance of the chlorides, the flow of the monitoring site is calculated by:

[00001] Q = M .Math. ( EC t - EC 0 ) .Math. CF

[0073] where, EC.sub.t is a conductivity when t=t, EC.sub.0 is a background value for the conductivity of the downstream monitoring site, M is a mass of injected chlorides of an upstream site, and CF is a conversion coefficient between the conductivity and the chloride concentration, the value of the CF being obtained by referring to the chloride concentration-conductivity curve.

[0074] The river reach with sewage outfalls is determined according to the variations of the chloride concentrations and chloride loads of the upstream and downstream monitoring sites, which includes two cases:

[0075] First Case:

[0076] In a case where there is no tributary in a reach, a river reach with sewage outfalls is determined as follows:

[0077] Variations of chloride concentrations of adjacent upstream and downstream monitoring sites are determined:

[0078] An i.sup.th reach is the river reach with sewage outfalls if C.sub.i>C.sub.i-1,

[0079] where, i∈[1,n], C.sub.i is a daily averaged chloride concentration of an i.sup.th monitoring site; C.sub.i-1 is a daily averaged chloride concentration of an upstream i−1.sup.th monitoring site; and a 0.sup.th monitoring site represents an upstream boundary of the river, namely C.sub.0 is a daily averaged chloride concentration from an upstream inflow of the river.

[0080] Variations of chloride loads of adjacent upstream and downstream monitoring sites are determined:

[0081] An i.sup.th reach is the river reach with sewage outfalls if Q.sub.iC.sub.i>Q.sub.i-1C.sub.i-1,

[0082] where, i∈[1,n], C.sub.i is a daily averaged chloride concentration of an i.sup.th monitoring site; C.sub.i-1 is a daily averaged chloride concentration of an upstream i−1.sup.th monitoring site; Q.sub.i is a daily flow of the i.sup.th monitoring site; Q.sub.i-1 is a daily flow of the upstream i−1.sup.th monitoring site; and the 0.sup.th monitoring site represents an upstream boundary of the river, namely C.sub.0 is a daily averaged chloride concentration from an upstream inflow of the river, and Q.sub.0 is a daily flow from the upstream inflow of the river.

[0083] Second Case:

[0084] In a case where there is a tributary in a reach, a river reach with sewage outfalls is determined as follows:

[0085] A chloride concentration of each of an upstream monitoring site, the tributary and a downstream monitoring site is compared:

[0086] An i.sup.th reach is the river reach with sewage outfalls if C.sub.i>max(C.sub.i-1,C.sub.Ti),

[0087] where, i∈[1,n], C.sub.i is a daily averaged chloride concentration of an i.sup.th monitoring site; C.sub.i-1 is a daily averaged chloride concentration of an upstream i−1.sup.th monitoring site; C.sub.Ti is a daily averaged chloride concentration of the tributary converges into the i.sup.th reach; and a 0.sup.th monitoring site represents an upstream boundary of the river, namely C.sub.0 is a daily averaged chloride concentration from an upstream inflow of the river.

[0088] Variations of chloride loads of adjacent upstream and downstream monitoring sites are determined:

[0089] An i.sup.th reach is the river reach with sewage outfalls if Q.sub.iC.sub.i>Q.sub.i-1C.sub.i-1+Q.sub.TiC.sub.Ti,

[0090] where, i∈[1,n], C.sub.i is a daily averaged chloride concentration of an i.sup.th monitoring site; C.sub.i-1 is a daily averaged chloride concentration of an upstream i−1.sup.th monitoring site; C.sub.Ti is a daily averaged chloride concentration of the tributary converges into the i.sup.th reach; a 0.sup.th monitoring site represents an upstream boundary of the river, namely C.sub.0 is a daily averaged chloride concentration from an upstream inflow of the river; Q.sub.i is a daily flow of the i.sup.th monitoring site; Q.sub.i-1 is a daily flow of the upstream i−1.sup.th monitoring site; Q.sub.Ti is a daily flow that the tributary flows into the i reach; and the 0.sup.th monitoring site represents the upstream boundary of the river, namely the C.sub.0 is the daily averaged chloride concentration from the upstream inflow of the river, and Q.sub.0 is a daily flow from the upstream inflow of the river.

[0091] A grid-based source-tracing system for sewage outfalls includes a data acquisition device, a data processing device, and a display device.

[0092] The data acquisition device is configured to acquire tributary confluence data of a river, monitoring data of monitoring sites, and intensive monitoring data of a river reach with sewage outfalls.

[0093] The data acquisition device is an online water level and conductivity monitoring device.

[0094] The data processing device is configured to divide reaches according to the tributary confluence data of the river; calculate soft measurement data according to the monitoring data; determine the river reach with sewage outfalls according to the soft measurement data; and analyze the intensive monitoring data of the river reach with sewage outfalls to determine a position of a sewage outfall.

[0100] S2: A chloride-conductivity soft measurement method is constructed.

[0101] S21: A chloride as a conservative substance is selected as a water quality monitoring indicator.

[0102] S22: Water samples are acquired in the dry weather, monitoring sections being consistent with the positions for dividing the reaches. The samples are continuously acquired once every 2 hours for 2 days. For each sampling point, it is required to acquire water samples at 0.5 m below the water surface. Following the acquisition of the water samples every day, they are sent to laboratories immediately to measure the conductivities and the chloride concentrations.

[0103] Measurement on conductivity: the conductivity is measured with a DDS-307 conductivity meter, and then converted into a value at 25° C. through the temperature compensation function.

[0104] Measurement on chloride concentration: a silver nitrate titration method (GB 11896-89) is used. In case of a high chloride content, water samples can be diluted with water for measurement.

[0105] S23: With a chloride concentration as ay axis and a conductivity as an x axis, linear fitting is performed on the monitoring data with a least-squares method to obtain a chloride concentration-conductivity curve, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0106] S3: A water level-flow soft measurement method is constructed.

[0107] S31: The flow and the water level are synchronously monitored once every 4 hours for 2 days.

[0108] S32: The flow is monitored with a tracer-dilution method: NaCl was selected as a tracer; 5 kg of a NaCl solution was instantly injected into an upstream section of the monitoring site, water samples were continuously taken for 500 s at a fixed interval of 20 s before the NaCl reached the monitoring site, and conductivities of the water samples were measured. The conductivities of the water samples are converted into the chloride concentrations to obtain a time-varying curve of chlorides at the monitoring site, as shown in FIG. 4. According to the chemical mass balance of the chlorides, the flow of the monitoring section is calculated by:

[00002] Q = M .Math. ( EC t - EC 0 ) .Math. CF

[0109] where, EC.sub.t is a conductivity when t=t, EC.sub.0 is a background conductivity of the river, M is a mass of injected chloride at upstream site, and CF is a conversion coefficient between the conductivity and the chloride concentration. The CF was 0.38 in the embodiment,

[0110] S33: With a flow as an x axis and a water level as a y axis, polynomial fitting is performed on the monitoring data with the least-squares method to obtain the flow-water level curve, as shown in FIG. 5.

[0111] S4. A river reach with sewage outfalls is determined.

[0112] S41: The online conductivity monitoring data of each of the monitoring sites is converted into a chloride concentration according to the chloride concentration-conductivity curve to obtain a time-varying curve for each of the monitoring sites, thereby obtaining a daily averaged chloride concentration.

[0113] By monitoring, the daily averaged conductivities are as follows: E.sub.0 is 232 μS/cm, E.sub.1 is 246 μS/cm, E.sub.2 is 263 μS/cm, E.sub.3 is 260 μS/cm, and E.sub.T2 is 329 μS/cm. Therefore, the daily averaged chloride concentrations at the monitoring sites are calculated as follows: is 83.6 mg/L, C.sub.1 is 91.7 mg/L, C.sub.2 is 95.9 mg/L, C.sub.3 is 95.8 mg/L, and C.sub.T2 is 118.8 mg/L.

[0114] S42: The online water level monitoring data of each of the monitoring sites is converted into a flow value according to the flow-water level curve to obtain a time-varying curve for each of the monitoring sites, thereby obtaining daily averaged water flow data.

[0115] By monitoring, the daily averaged water levels are as follows: h.sub.0 is 0.68 m, h.sub.1 is 0.72 m, h.sub.2 is 0.79 m, h.sub.3 is 0.81 m, and h.sub.T2 is 0.86 m.

[0116] Therefore, the daily averaged water flows at the monitoring sites are calculated as follows: Q.sub.0 is 2.77×105 m.sup.3/d, Q.sub.1 is 2.79×105 m.sup.3/d, Q.sub.2 is 2.94×105 m.sup.3/d, Q.sub.3 is 2.95×105 m.sup.3/d, and Q.sub.T2 is 9.88×103 m.sup.3/d.

[0117] S403: The river reach with sewage outfalls is determined according to variations of chloride concentrations and chloride loads of upstream and downstream monitoring sites on the basis of the above monitoring data.

[0118] Variations of chloride concentrations of adjacent upstream and downstream monitoring sites are determined.

[0119] Due to C.sub.1>C.sub.0, the first reach is the river reach with sewage outfalls.

[0120] Due to C.sub.1<max(C.sub.2,C.sub.T2) and C.sub.2<C.sub.1, whether the second and third reaches are the river reach with sewage outfalls need to be further determined.

[0121] Variations of chloride loads of adjacent upstream and downstream monitoring sites are determined:

[0122] Due to Q.sub.2C.sub.2>Q.sub.1C.sub.1+Q.sub.T2C.sub.T2, the second reach is the river reach with sewage outfalls.

[0123] Due to Q.sub.3C.sub.3>Q.sub.2C.sub.2, the third reach is the river reach with sewage outfalls.

[0124] S5: Since the three reaches are the river reach with sewage outfalls, conductivity and water level monitoring sites are intensively arranged based on a dichotomizing theory to further divide the three reaches into six reaches. Likewise, whether the reaches are the river reach with sewage outfalls is determined respectively according to the pollutant source tracing method in the present disclosure.

[0125] Specifically, with the first reach for example, if C.sub.1−C.sub.0>0, it is indicated that the first reach is the river reach with sewage outfalls, and the chloride concentration of the sewage is higher than the background value for the chloride concentration of the river. By monitoring the middle of the first reach, the daily averaged conductivity of the section is 233 μS/cm, and the daily averaged chloride concentration C.sub.12 is calculated as 84.0 mg/L, thus determining that the key sewage outfall is located in the latter half of the first reach. To further narrow the investigation range of the sewage outfall, the latter half of the first reach can be dichotomized to implement source tracing for the sewage outfall of the river.
