Abstract
Being one of the most important sources of water in the Jilin Province in China, the Yinma River Basin (YRB) is facing problems of water scarcity in low economic areas and low utilization in richer areas mainly caused by the irrational allocation of water, excessive pursuit of economic benefits, and neglect of environmental problems. Restricting watershed development involves potential decision-making risks. Some scholars have used the interval two-stage stochastic planning method to adjust water resource allocation in the Drinking Horse River Basin, but the method uses historical statistics for projection and does not take into account the ambiguity and uncertainty in real planning situations. Therefore, this study addresses the problems prevalent in the allocation of water resources in the YRB through optimization using stochastic programming methods, interval and two-stage, and introduces the fuzzy mathematical programming method, with the aim of coordinating the water balance of various water-consuming sectors in the YRB, so as to reconfigure the water allocation. The goal is to solve the existing problems of irrational water allocation, reduce system risks posed by excessive economic development, mitigate water shortages in the water-consuming sectors, and alleviate potential decision-making risks and vague uncertainties associated with the allocation of water resources. Additionally, optimization of the pollution-holding capacity improvement project was carried out. The interval fuzzy two-stage model simulation developed in this study shows that the distribution of water across the different administrative regions can be reduced by up to 30% compared with the original model, effectively reducing the problem of water wastage. Post-optimization, the impact of water shortage in the water resources allocation scheme is alleviated to a significant degree, and there is no water shortage in some areas. At the same time, the eco-environmental sector has gradually taken the leading role in the distribution of water reuse among the different water-consuming sectors. The pollution-holding capacity has been enhanced, and the discharge and river entry chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen, two typical pollutants, have been reduced. The membership interval in the interval fuzzy two-stage model reflects the relationship between the possible level of the target value and the risk level. This study provides a guideline for decision makers for balancing the relationship between benefits and risks and proposes a planning scheme that is more conducive to the development of the river basin.

Zhang L, Du S, Liu D, Dong D, Zhang W, Guo Z. Antibiotics in fish caught from ice-sealed waters: Spatial and species variations, tissue distribution, bioaccumulation, and human health risk. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 821:153354. [PMID: 35085643 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotics are increasingly detected in fish caught in ice-free waters, but information on fish caught in ice-sealed waters is insufficient. The concentrations of 23 antibiotics in the gills, muscles, kidneys, livers, biles, and brains of Cyprinus carpio and Hypophthalmichthys nobilis caught during winter fish-hunting activities in Chagan Lake, Haernao Reservoir, and Shitoukoumen Reservoir were systematically studied to ascertain the variations among fish species and fishing regions, tissue distribution, and bioaccumulation, as well as the potential risk to humans via the consumption of contaminated fish. The results indicated that the individual antibiotic concentration in tissues ranged from undetectable to 35.0 ng/g ww. The total antibiotic concentration in fish muscles from Shitoukoumen Reservoir was lower than that from Chagan Lake and Haernao Reservoir, but showed no significant difference between Cyprinus carpio and Hypophthalmichthys nobilis. Chloramphenicols had a high proportion in most fish tissues ranging from 28.3% to 44.0%, and the antibiotics were mainly distributed in the livers with a total concentration of 54.8 ± 9.9 ng/g ww. The mean values of bioaccumulation factors (BAF) of antibiotics in tissues ranged from 79.4 to 1000 L/kg, with the higher values found in the fish livers. The hazard quotient and hazard index value of antibiotics in the muscles of fish from ice-sealed were less than 1, indicating a negligible risk to human health via the consumption of fish muscles. This study revealed that the total antibiotic concentration in muscles showed spatial variations but not fish species-dependence. The antibiotics mainly accumulated in the livers. In addition, the target antibiotic concentrations in the muscles of fish from ice-sealed waters met the safe for consumption criteria.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19095218. [PMID: 35564609 PMCID: PMC9103661 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19095218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, a fuzzy mathematical programming method is introduced on the basis of the interval two-stage stochastic programming (ITSP) optimisation model for the wetland ecological water replenishment scheme in Boluo Lake National Nature Reserve. The minimum ecological water supply is taken as the objective function, and the lake bubble water diversion capacity, lake bubble water supply capacity, water diversion sequence, ecological service value, and minimum capacity of the wetland water supply are taken as constraints. The ecological water replenishment schemes of five lakes in the Boluo Lake National Nature Reserve are optimised at the levels of low flow years, normal flow years, and high flow years, and an optimised model for the wetland ecological water replenishment scheme in Boluo Lake National Nature Reserve based on the interval fuzzy two-stage stochastic programming (IFTSP) method is constructed. The model fully considers the waste of water resources and the protection of migratory bird habitat and makes rational allocation of water resources to make full use of flood resources. The IFTSP model proposed herein fully considers the fuzzy and uncertain characteristics of the planning area in the lake bubble area of Boluo Lake National Nature Reserve and improves the decision-making efficiency of decision-makers by providing technical support for smooth implementation of the ecological water replenishment project in nature reserves. The model can also be used as a theoretical guide for ecological recharge projects in other regions of the world.

Abstract
Wetlands as an important ecosystem type have been damaged in recent years and restoration of wetland ecosystem functions through ecological water replenishment is one of the important ways. The present study involved the construction of a novel ecological water replenishment model for Jilin Momoge National Nature Reserve (JMNNR) using the interval two-stage stochastic programming (ITSP) method. Breaking down traditional economic models that often sacrifice environmental benefits, the model aims to replenish the ecological water in JMNNR, allocate the ecological water resources scientifically, restore the wetland function of the reserve, improve the functional area of the reserve, enhance the net carbon sequestration capacity of the reserve, and complete the reconstruction of the ecosystem, while considering the ecological service value (ESV) of the reserve to achieve a joint increase in the ecological and economic benefits. The ITSP model constructed in the present study overcame the limitation that the original project recommendation was a single recommended value, and the results are presented in the form of intervals to improve flexibility in decision making to allow the individuals responsible for under-taking decisions to bring focused adjustments according to the actual decision-making conditions and increase the selectivity of the decision-making scheme. The present report discusses the construction of an ITSP model for the ecological water replenishment of JMNNR in an attempt to effectively improve both economic benefits and ecosystem restoration of the reserve, achieve the reconstruction of the JMNNR ecosystem, and provide a selective decision space for the key decision-makers to formulate and optimize the project operation and the management plan. The use of the ITSP model as a pre-procedural basis for the implementation of the project and the simulation of the effects of the implementation of the project can effectively avoid the decision limitations that exist when carrying out the project directly. The ITSP model constructed in this paper can also be used as a theoretical guide for water replenishment projects in different areas of the world, and the model parameters can be reasonably adjusted to achieve better results when used according to the actual local conditions.

Hao N, Sun P, Yang L, Qiu Y, Chen Y, Zhao W. Optimal Allocation of Water Resources and Eco-Compensation Mechanism Model Based on the Interval-Fuzzy Two-Stage Stochastic Programming Method for Tingjiang River. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 19:ijerph19010149. [PMID: 35010407 PMCID: PMC8750788 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19010149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 12/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
In this work, based on the upper line of water resources utilization and the bottom line of water environmental quality of "Three Lines, Single Project", a fuzzy optimization method was introduced into the Tingjiang River water resources optimal allocation and eco-compensation mechanism model, which is based on the interval two-stage (ITS) stochastic programming method. In addition, a Tingjiang River water resources allocation and eco-compensation mechanism model based on the interval fuzzy two-stage (IFTS) optimization method was also constructed. The objective functions of both models were to maximize the economic benefits of the Tingjiang River. The available water resources in the basin, the water environmental quality requirements, and regional development requirements were used as constraints, and under the five hydrological scenarios of extreme dryness, dryness, normal flow, abundance, and extreme abundance, the water resources allocation plan of various sectors (industry, municipal, agriculture, and ecology) in the Tingjiang River was optimized, and an eco-compensation mechanism was developed. In this work, the uncertainty of the maximum available water resources in each region and the whole basin was considered. If the maximum available water resources were too high, it would lead to a large waste of water resources, whereas if the maximum available water resources were too low, regional economic development would be limited. Therefore, the above two parameters were set as fuzzy parameters in the optimization model construction in this work. The simulation results from the IFTS model showed that the amount of water available in the river basin directly affects the water usage by various departments, thereby affecting the economic benefits of the river basin and the amount of eco-compensation paid by the downstream areas. The average economic benefit of the Tingjiang River after the optimization of the IFTS model simulation was [3868.51, 5748.99] × 108 CNY, which is an increase of [1.67%, 51.9%] compared to the economic benefit of the basin announced by the government in 2018. Compared to the ITS model, the economic benefit interval of the five hydrological scenarios of extreme dryness, dryness, normal flow, abundance, and extreme abundance was reduced by 28.54%, 44.9%, 31.49%, 40.37%, and 36.43%, respectively, which can improve the economic benefits of the basin and provide more accurate decision-making schemes. In addition, the IFTS simulation showed that the eco-compensation quota paid by downstream Guangdong Province to upstream Fujian Province is [28,116.4, 30,738.6] × 104 CNY, which is a reduction of [8461.404, 110,836] × 104 CNY compared to the 2018 compensation scheme of the government. Compared to the ITS model, the range of eco-compensation values was observed to increase by 9.94%, 54.81%, 15.85%, 50.31%, and 82.90%, respectively, under the five hydrological scenarios, which reduces the burden of ecological expenditure downstream and provides a broader decision-making space for decision-makers and thus enables improved decision-making efficiency. At the same time, after the optimization of the IFTS model, the additional water consumption of the second stage of the Tingjiang River during the extremely dry year decreased by 62.11% compared to the results of the ITS model. The additional water consumption of the industrial sector decreased by 68.39%, the municipal sector decreased by 59.27%, and in the first phase of water resources allocation for 14 districts and counties in the Tingjiang River, industrial and municipal sectors are the main two sectors. After introducing the fuzzy method into the IFTS model, the difference in the water consumption by these two sectors in the basin under different hydrological scenarios can be alleviated, and the waste of water resources caused by too low water allocation or excessive water allocation can be avoided. The national and local (the downstream region) eco-compensation quotas can be indirectly reduced, and the risk of water resources allocation and eco-compensation decision-making in the basin can be effectively reduced.

Liao X, Meng C, Ren Z, Zhao W. Optimization of Ecological Water Supplement Scheme for Improved Suitable Habitat Area for Rare Migratory Birds in Nature Reserves Using Interval-Parameter Fuzzy Two-Stage Stochastic Programming Model. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:E7562. [PMID: 33080931 PMCID: PMC7589852 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17207562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Revised: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The optimization of ecological water supplement scheme in Momoge National Nature Reserve (MNNR), using an interval-parameter two-stage stochastic programming model (IPTSP), still experiences problems with fuzzy uncertainties and the wide scope of the obtained optimization schemes. These two limitations pose a high risk of system failure causing high decision risk for decision-makers and render it difficult to further undertake optimization schemes respectively. Therefore, an interval-parameter fuzzy two-stage stochastic programming (IPFTSP) model derived from an IPTSP model was constructed to address the random variable, the interval uncertainties and the fuzzy uncertainties in the water management system in the present study, to reduce decision risk and narrow down the scope of the optimization schemes. The constructed IPFTSP model was subsequently applied to the optimization of the ecological water supplement scheme of MNNR under different scenarios, to maximize the recovered habitat area and the carrying capacity for rare migratory water birds. As per the results of the IPFTSP model, the recovered habitat areas for rare migratory birds under low, medium and high flood flow scenarios were (14.06, 17.88) × 103, (14.92, 18.96) × 103 and (15.83, 19.43) × 103 ha, respectively, and the target value was (14.60, 18.47) × 103 ha with a fuzzy membership of (0.01, 0.83). Fuzzy membership reflects the possibility level that the model solutions satisfy the target value and the corresponding decision risk. We further observed that the habitat area recovered by the optimization schemes of the IPFTSP model was significantly increased compared to the recommended scheme, and the increases observed were (5.22%, 33.78%), (11.62%, 41.88%) and (18.44%, 45.39%). In addition, the interval widths of the recovered habitat areas in the IPFTSP model were reduced by 17.15%, 17.98% and 23.86%, in comparison to those from the IPTSP model. It was revealed that the IPFTSP model, besides generating the optimal decision schemes under different scenarios for decision-makers to select and providing decision space to adjust the decision schemes, also shortened the decision range, thereby reducing the decision risk and the difficulty of undertaking decision schemes. In addition, the fuzzy membership obtained from the IPFTSP model, reflecting the relationship among the possibility level, the target value, and the decision risk, assists the decision-makers in planning the ecological water supplement scheme with a preference for target value and decision risk.
