Flood Events Indicated by Elements and Compounds of Sediment in the Jingyang Reach of Jinghe River
we study the flood variation indicated by sediment in floodplain in the Jingyang reach of Jinghe River during deposit of floodplain. Results show that the contents of Mn
Ni
Cu
Zn
Ga
Pb
Ba
Rb
V
Al2O3
Fe2O3
and K2O change obviously in the profile. Each component changes obviously in the entire profile
which can clearly reflect the variations of flood and precipitation with high resolving power. The profile may be divided into 18 sediment layers
indicating 18 flood events at different scales and 18 years with much precipitation. The finer grain size is
the higher contents of Mn
Ni
Cu
Zn
Ga
Pb
Rb
V
Al2O3
Fe2O3
and K2O are and the lower content of Ba is
which indicates small flood intensity
low flood level
and less precipitation in deposition. In contrast
the coarser grain size is
the lower contents of Mn
Ni
Cu
Zn
Ga
Pb
Rb
V
Al2O3
Fe2O3
and K2O are and the higher content of Ba is
which indicates high flood intensity
high flood level
and more precipitation at deposition. The small changes of two or more elements
compounds
and grain size in the thin layer formed in the same sediment layer in the 18 floods indicate two or more flood peaks frequently appeared in the period of most floods. Sediment in the 14th
12th
13th
8th
5th
and 1st layers in floodplain in the Jingyang reach of Jinghe River reflects that annual precipitation increases in the whole basin and annual rainfall is greater than 800 mm.
