PROPOSAL OF A METHOD TO FORM SURFACE FLOW DIRECTION DATASET BASED ON ACTUAL RIVER INFOMATION Reviewed

Elevation and surface flow direction data are useful for the analysis of hydrologic processes in a catchment. Surface flow direction is generally determined by steepest downward slope based on depression-filled elevation data. However, since the steepest downward slope is affected by the elevation correction and errors in the input elevation data, resulted surface flow direction does not reflect the actual river geometry. Here, a method to form catchment dataset was developed based on actual river information to minimize elevation correction and improve reproducibility of river geometry. As a result, the reproducibility of river geometry was significantly improved and the elevation correction was reduced at multiple spatial resolutions from 30 m to 1000 m. In addition, the complex river geometry such as meandering and tributary confluence was reproduced while it was difficult to do in conventional approaches. This method contributes to catchment-scale flood control, wide-area river environment management, and disaster prevention measures using the digital twin.

Studies on the conditions and pollution routes of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in rivers can help provide countermeasures against the spread of ARB. This study focused on the pristine uppermost stream of a river, where Escherichia coli (E. coli) and enterococci were detected, although the stream flows through a pristine forest catchment. Antibiotic resistance of E. coli and enterococci isolated from the river water, riverbed sediment, and feces of waterside animals, such as birds and Mustelidae, were investigated throughout the year in the pristine uppermost sites. Antibiotic resistance was present in 1.4% (7/494) of the E. coli strains and 3.0% (24/812) of the enterococcal strains, and was low throughout the year. Although antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from feces was not detected in this watershed, the prevalence of multidrug-resistant E. coli was 0.4% (1/246) and 0.6% (1/172) in river water and riverbed sediment samples, respectively were observed. The presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli was confirmed in river water samples, and genomic analysis revealed that the samples possessed the CTX-M-15 group. Multidrug-resistant strains and ESBL-producing strains were classified as phylogroups B1 and A, respectively, which are E. coli phenotypes isolated from wild animals. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed analysis targeting enterococci that strains isolated from river water and bird feces were in the same cluster with 100% similarity. Therefore, bird feces are a source of enterococci in the uppermost stream of the river. Because multidrug-resistant bacteria and ESBL-producing bacteria were present in the pristine uppermost stream of the pristine river, urgent elucidation of the spreading routes of ARB is important.

Hydrological alterations by dams and climate change can reduce aquatic biodiversity by disrupting the life cycles of organisms. Here, we aimed to evaluate and compare the hydrological alterations caused by dams and climate change throughout the Omaru River catchment, Japan, using a distributed hydrological model (DHM). First, to assess the impacts of dam and climate change independently, we performed runoff analyses using either dam discharge or future climatic data (two future periods, 2031–2050 and 2081–2100 x three representative con-centration pathways). Subsequently, we derived indicators of hydrologic alterations (IHA) to quantify changes in flow alterations by comparing them to IHA under natural conditions (i.e., without dam or climate change data). We found that dams altered IHAs more than climate change. However, on a catchment-scale standpoint, climate change induced wider ranges of flow alterations, such as a further decrease in low flow metrics along the tributaries and uppermost main stem, suggesting a catchment-level shrinkage in important corridors of aquatic organisms. We also observed that the altered flow by water withdrawals was ameliorated by the confluence of tributaries and downstream hydropower outflows. Our approach using a DHM captured the various patterns of flow alterations by dams and climate change.

Sediment causes a serious problem in relation to dam function. A cooperative sediment sluicing operation has been under way since 2017 to prevent sediment from accumulating in dams in the Mimi River, Miyazaki, Japan. To achieve a smooth and stable operation, it is very important to determine the sediment source and a sediment transport system to maintain the dam's function. In the current study, the source and transport of sediment from the Mimi River basin have been analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD) to reveal the peaks of mineral species. The sediment samples were collected in the Mimi River basin from the Tsukabaru Dam to the sea in an area including 4 dams and 5 tributaries. In addition, the minerals in samples collected in 2014, before the start of the sediment sluicing operation, and from 2018 to 2020, after the start of the operation, were analyzed. An evaluation of the similarity of the sediment at each sampling point based on the X-ray diffraction peaks of mineral species showed that sediment distributed upstream was transported downstream in the year when the sediment sluicing was done. This result indicates that the sediment sluicing operation at dams ensured the continuity of the sediment distribution in the Mimi River basin. In addition, an investigation done in 2020 showed that sediment particles very similar to those of the upstream tributaries were deposited downstream because of extensive flooding caused by a large typhoon. The management of sediment transport has the greatest importance in a river basin where a dam is to be constructed. It is possible to trace the history of the sediment distribution and movement resulting from the operation of sediment sluicing by using sediment mineral analysis.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) can now be detected not only in clinical institutions but also in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), extending the range of emergence to residential areas. In this study, we investigated the change of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) and other coliforms in each treatment process at WWTPs. Throughout the treatment process, the numbers of E. coli and other coliforms were significantly reduced to less than 5.7 ± 0.5 CFU/100 ml and 2.4 ± 0.0×102 CFU/100 ml, respectively. However, ESBL-producing E. coli and other coliforms were detected in each treatment process (even after chlorination) at 5.6% and 4.8%, compared to the total E. coli and other coliforms counts. Then, ESBL-producing-related genes were identified via PCR analyses, and the most predominant gene was CTX-M-9 in both E. coli (47.2%) and other coliforms (47.3%). Although actual WWTPs greatly reduced the number of bacteria, the relative prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria was increased, suggesting that ESBL-producing bacteria remain in the effluent at minimal concentrations and could be diffusing to water bodies.
