    Shanxi Province, located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, is not only an important energy base in the Yellow River Basin but also a vital ecological security barrier in North China. This study systematically analyzes the most prominent environmental problems currently facing the water ecology of the Yellow River Basin in Shanxi Province. It focuses on three dimensions: water environment quality, water resource utilization efficiency, and water ecosystem health. This study identifies several critical issues: exacerbated water pollution during flood seasons, with some river water quality–monitoring sections failing to consistently meet standards; prominent water supply–demand conflicts; a severe shortage of ecological water flow; and fragile ecosystems characterized by low functionality of aquatic ecosystem services. It proposes the following countermeasures and suggestions in response to these problems: first, strengthen the integrated management of urban and rural stormwater runoff pollution; second, promote the conservation and reuse of water resources; and, third, strengthen the protection and restoration of water ecosystems. If implemented, these countermeasures should provide a scientifically based approach for improving the water ecology of the Yellow River Basin in Shanxi Province and contribute to the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.

    Research on the construction of an environmental emergency response system for sudden water pollution incidents in the Tang River Basin of Datong City in Shanxi Province

    Through field investigations, data collection, and statistical analysis, this study systematically identified the distribution of environmental emergency spaces and facilities within the Tang River Basin. Combining the spatial distribution characteristics of environmentally sensitive targets and sources of key environmental risk and using the MIKE11 hydrodynamic model simulation and prediction method, a quantitative assessment was conducted to evaluate the scope of impact and degree of sudden water pollution incidents under different scenarios. Based on the whole-process management concept of "source prevention, process interception, and end treatment," an environmental emergency response process for water pollution incidents covering pollution source tracing, emergency response, and coordinated disposal was designed. Furthermore, an emergency response system for sudden water pollution incidents in the Tang River Basin, encompassing dimensions such as organizational command, technical support, material supply, and collaborative coordination, was constructed. Finally, from the perspective of integrated basin management, recommendations for basin-wide risk prevention and control measures were proposed, thus providing a reference for transboundary river environmental risk management.

    Invasion status and risk assessment of Pomacea canaliculata in nearshore waters of Shanghai’s circum-urban greenbelt parks

    To elucidate the invasion status and driving factors of channeled apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in Shanghai’s circum-urban greenbelt park riparian waters, field surveys were conducted between 2023—2024. Spatiotemporal analysis revealed that invasion hotspots clustered in Baoshan, Putuo, Jiading, Changning, and Pudong districts, with snail density positively correlated with external hydrological connectivity. The population activity peaked in July—September, coinciding with an oviposition climax in July—August. Correlation analyses were conducted to identify the key environmental factors influencing snail distribution, activity, and reproduction; the results revealed that water temperature served as the pivotal driver. Specifically, both water temperature and air temperature exhibited a significant positive correlation with snail density and egg mass density. Snail density increased with the elevation of electrical conductivity and turbidity, but showed a decreasing trend with the increase in submerged macrophyte density, total nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen. Egg mass density declined as NO3-N and dissolved phosphorus concentrations rose, but displayed a positive trend with the increase in ammonia nitrogen concentration. Invasion severity assessment classified most sites as “Occurrence”, whereas specific loci reached “Severe outbreak”. It is imperative that Shanghai’s Circum-urban Greenbelt Parks implement control measures against Pomacea canaliculata.
