Environmental Levels and Degradation Behavior of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in the Water Environment by Zhaohe ZHANG, Dian CHEN, Wei ZHAO, Guoli YUAN, Jun LI, Xingchun JIAO

“…In general, photodegradation and biodegradation are more common than hydrolysis. In surface water, many PPCPs have avoided the strict biodegradation environment of wastewater treatment, and photochemistry may have a greater effect than the biodegradation under sunlight, in which antibiotics are mainly photodegraded in the water environment; ibuprofen, iopromide and caffeine are more prone to biodegradation; esters and amides are the most common functional groups that are easily hydrolyzed in PPCPs[63], and tetracycline can undergo hydrolysis reactions due to adsorption into sediments. …”

A Novel Time-Varying P-III Distribution Curve Fitting Model to Estimate Design Floods in Three Gorges Reservoir Operation Period by Yuzuo Xie, Shenglian Guo, Sirui Zhong, Xiaoya Wang, Jing Tian, Zhiming Liang

“…The results indicate that: (1) The modified reservoir index used as a covariate can effectively capture the non-stationary characteristics of the flood series; (2) The Tv-P3/CF model emphasizes the fitness of historical information, yielding superior results compared to time-varying P-III distribution estimated by the maximum likelihood method; (3) Compared to the original design values, the 1000-year design peak discharge <i>Q</i>_m and 3-day and 7-day flood volumes in the TGR operation period are reduced by approximately 20%, while the 15-day and 30-day flood volumes are reduced by about 16%; (4) The flood-limited water level of the TGR can be raised from 145 m to 154 m, which can annually generate 0.32 billion kW h more hydropower (or increase by 6.8%) during flood season without increasing flood prevention risks.…”
