What is the Structural Harmony Chart of
Hydrosphere (SHC)?
• The Structural Harmony Chart of Hydrosphere is the graphical
distribution of energy between all hydrospheric elements and
parameters characterizing the entirety of hydrosphere and
uniqueness of its structure at any particular place (www.hydrology.ca/hydenvir.pdf)

Objectives of this presentation
To apply main features
in modeling and the EA:
• Each place depending
on its geo-bio-chemical
conditions has its own
Structural Harmony
Chart
• The qualitative and
quantitative charts
coincide

What data to use?
• Neighboring watersheds and subwatersheds with
common meteorological stations and same qualitative
parameters to see the similarities and differences of
the common space
Area covered by stormwater system
– Canadian watersheds and parameters:
• Etobicoke Cr.(70%), Credit R. (20%), Mimico Cr.(100%) – chlorides
and heavy metals
• Pristine watershed with the same qualitative
parameters to establish the benchmark for the
anthropogenic impact assessment
– Estonian pristine watershed:
• Tooma Station – chlorides
Hydrology and Environment ©
How to do that? To use the Separated Flow Approach (SFA)
(www.hydrology.ca/hm_web.pdf) enhanced by the Structural Harmony Chart
Ct = (Qb*Cb + Qi*Ci + Qs*Cs)/Qt
Ct = (Qb*Cb + Qi*Ci)/Qt
Ct = Cb
Ct, Qt
- Total flow concentration and
discharge
Cb, Qb - Baseflow concentration and
discharge
Ci, Qi
- Interflow concentration and
discharge
Cs, Qs - Extreme flow concentration
and discharge
80
Qt = Qb + Qi + Qs
70
Qt = Qb + Qi
60
50
Qt = Qb
40
Involvement of SHC has two steps:
- to assess Ki for Qi and Qs estimation
using “quantitative” data;
30
- to check that the obtained total
concentrations Ct and loads meet the
same structural requirements

Conclusions
• SHC of Hydrosphere is an indicator of
hydrosphere entirety and uniqueness at any
point
• it is a very efficient tool for EA providing
– the benchmark and
– criteria
for the anthropogenic impact to the stability of
hydrosphere (read Climate)
• It has to be investigated and used!
