英文摘要 | Hydropeaking, the alternating storage and release of water from reservoirs for hydropower generation, perturbs the thermal regime of many large rivers. While its effects on river temperature have been long studied, impacts on the thermal regime of riverbeds remain mostly unknown, despite riverbed temperature affecting rates of nutrient cycling and habitat suitability for benthic organisms. This study combines detailed field observations and flow and heat transport modeling to assess the impact of hydropeaking on riverbed temperatures in a large regulated river. The field site was 12 km downstream from a dam that induces large daily flow variations. Vertical thermistor arrays were used to collect riverbed temperature data across the entire 70 m‐wide channel. The riverbed near the left bank was highly dynamic thermally, transitioning between river and groundwater temperatures over daily hydropeaking cycles. In contrast, the rest of the riverbed, including near the right bank, was similar in temperature to the river and had relatively stable temperatures. Modeling showed that the temperatures near the banks are explained by advective heat transport driven by hydrostatic changes in river level, while the temperatures over the rest of the channel can be explained mostly by conductive heating. Gaining groundwater conditions and high sediment hydraulic conductivity favor thermally dynamic zones near banks, while low hydraulic conductivity (below 1 m/d) and neutral or losing groundwater conditions result in muted temperature fluctuations, as observed at the right bank. These spatial patterns can help predict thermally sensitive processes in the riverbeds of hydropeaked or flooding rivers. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. |
