ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to investigate the optimal environment for (chemical and physical properties of water, feeding type), and biological indicators (growth, development and sustainability) of, sturgeon breeding in pond adopted to natural environmental conditions. The research resulted in data on productive (vital capacity) and biological indicators (weight, length, maximum, nominal and daily average growth of biomass) of four species of sturgeon: Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii Brandt), stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus Pallas), and paddlefish (Polyodon spathula Walbaum). The water analysis has shown the following physical and chemical parameters of water in the reservoirs: pH – 3.8-6.6, total hardness – 2.8-4.8 mg-equ/dm3. This research shows that the highest rates of daily average growth for the five-month period had the paddlefish fry (24.44 g), Russian (22.13 g) and Siberian sturgeon fry (19.28 g). Final weighting shown that paddlefish fry had the best indicators among all studied species (m=1.8 kg). The coefficient of variation (Cv > 7) indicates high phenotypic variation in all studied species of sturgeon. Ichtyopathological study of experiments revealed that none of stellate sturgeon, Russian and Siberian sturgeon and paddlefish were infected. As it was revealed, feed with higher protein (56% relative to 50 %) causes greater increase in weight (+0.2 kg).
Obtained results show that paddlefish and stellate sturgeon have the best parameters for breeding in ponds. Research results can be applied for sturgeon breeding in ponds with similar chemical and physical properties.

ABSTRACT
In China, cities are normally built along rivers. The capital of China has changed several times since the establishment of the Xia dynasty, the first dynasty of China. However, most of the capital cities were located along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The Yellow River system, composed of the Yellow River and its tributaries, has exerted huge effects on the rise and fall of the ancient capitals. Xi’an, Luoyang and Kaifeng are known as the most important, the most famous and the longest-serving capitals of ancient China along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Focusing on the three historical capitals, this study investigated how changes in the Yellow River system, floods and droughts, and the development of water transport had affected the courses of development of China’s ancient capitals.

ABSTRACT
In order to reveal the influence of harmful substances in reclaimed water quality on human health, this paper carries out the research from the perspective of risk assessment. Firstly, according to reclaimed water reuse applications and water quality requirements, the characteristics of its safety evaluation were analyzed and summarized. Then deducing risk scenario and analyzing the consequences to determine the risk transfer path of reclaimed water reuse, and the framework of water safety evaluation index system was put forward based on the result. Finally, by combining the traditional risk assessment theory and the USEPA’s four-step method with the characteristics of human health risk for reclaimed water, the procedure and model of human health risk assessment for reclaimed water were established.
Keywords: reclaimed water, risk assessment, risk transfer path, human health
