Propagation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Meteorological Drought to Soil Drought in the Upper Reaches of the Shiyang River Based on the Copula Function by Junju Zhou, Anning Gou, Shizhen Xu, Yuze Wu, Xuemei Yang, Wei Wei, Guofeng Zhu, Dongxia Zhang, Peiji Shi

“…This study focuses on eight tributaries in the upper reaches of the Shiyang River. Based on the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Standardized Soil Moisture Index (SSMI), the Drought Propagation Intensity Index (DIP) and Copula function were applied to quantify the intensity and time of drought propagation from meteorological to soil drought and explored the drought propagation patterns at different temporal and spatial scales in these tributaries. …”

Health Assessment of the Lower Reaches of Longhe River under Watershed Systematic Treatment by YU Binjing, FU Yicheng

“…River health assessment is the basis for watershed planning,systematic treatment,and ecological restoration.The lower reaches of the Longhe River in Langfang suffer fragile ecology and lack water fluidity,showing a poor water environment.To accurately assess the ecological health of rivers severely disturbed by human activities and identify the fragility factors in the ecosystem,we construct a health assessment index system for the Longhe River based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP).The river health assessment index system consists of five aspects:hydrological integrity,physical structural integrity,chemical integrity,biological integrity,and social function integrity.The Langfang section of Longhe River is generally in a healthy state with a health assessment score of 75.18.According to the assessment results,the Longhe River watershed has problems such as large development and utilization of water resources,low wetland retention rate,serious artificial disturbance in the riparian zone,and poor quality of the upstream water.The proposed assessment method could provide a reference for the health assessment of rivers under severe artificial control.…”
