Title：RIVER-DISCHARGE MONITORING IN A SMALL RIVER WITH AN ADCP
Authors：Takehiro SAKAI and Yasuo NIHEI
Journal：Proceedings of Hydraulic Engineering, 50, 2006, 721-726
Abstract：To examine the accuracy of discharge measurements in small rivers, we have conducted continuous monitoring of flood flows in a small river with a bottom-mounted ADCP. The observed data indicates that the vertical distribution of the velocity varied considerably in the rising and falling stages of the hydrologic event, in which the unsteadiness parameterα and H.W.L. were relatively larger. It should be noted from the observed data that the averaged coefficients of float are in good agreements with well-known empirical values, while the coefficients of float varied appreciably in each hydrologic event. We also examine the accuracy for evaluating river discharge by using the rating curves with H-Q and V-Q, showing that the rating curves with H-Q and V-Q are appropriate for the evaluation of discharge in the upper and lower reaches of the small river, respectively.

Title: Toward an ecological civilization: Mass comprehensive ecotourism indications among domestic visitors to a Chinese wetland protected area.
Author and Journal: Fangfang Shi, David Weaver, Yanzhi Zhao, Ming-Feng Huang, Chuanzhong Tang, Yang Liu. Tourism Management 70 (2019) 59-68
Abstract: Large-scale park-visitor symbiosis remains an aspiration despite the need for new models to address the challenges of managing contemporary protected area systems. A survey of 1050 visitors to the Red Beach National Scenic Corridor in Northeast China, however, indicates a latent potential, with 36.0% qualifying as “enthused ecotourists” and 32.4% as “ecotourists” based on claimed adherence to basic ecotourism characteristics. Another 17.2% are “hands-on greens” also amenable to participation in on-site park enhancement activities but neutral about nature learning. “Ambivalents” account for the remaining 14.4% of the sample. High overall proclivity to participate, report misbehavior, and behave in a more environmentally responsible manner as a result of their Red Beach visit constitutes a basis for mass comprehensive ecotourism that can achieve park-visitor symbiosis and contribute significantly to the creation of an ecological civilization, as long as attendant strategies in- corporate distinctive Chinese tendencies in ecotourism and outdoor recreation.
