Impacts of climate change on water resources and water environment in the Three Gorges Reservoir

Climate change is one of the major global issues commonly concerned by international communities. Taking the Three Gorges Reservoir which is the largest water conservancy project in China as the object, this study attempts to clarify the current conditions of water resources and water environment especially the spatial distribution characteristics of water resources amount and main non-point so...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Climate change impact assessment on water resources in the Blue Mountains, Australia

Climate changes, especially its impacts on temperature, precipitation and evaporation, have large effects on water resources. In recent years, water authorities in Australia imposed various water demand management strategies including mandatory water restriction to reduce water demand as the dam storage levels dropped quite low due to the prolonged droughts which affected the country for about ...
