The Hai River Basin (HRB) is a heavily irrigated region encompassing the North China Plain (NCP) in northeast China. In the last decades, continuous lowering of groundwater levels had been reported in the NCP. This study used data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and in situ measurements to quantify recent changes in groundwater storage from 2003 to 2012. The signal from GRACE observations highlight a sharp decline in the deep subsurface water stores (deep unsaturated zone and groundwater systems) up to a rate of 17.0 ± 4.3 mm year-1 between 2003 and 2012 over the HRB, equal to a volumetric loss of 5.5 ± 1.4 km3 year-1. This result shows good consistency with in situ observations of groundwater hydraulic heads compiled from monitoring bores, and emphasizes GRACE's ability to monitor large-scale groundwater storage variations. Results from GRACE also provide an independent assessment of the effectiveness of water saving programmes that have been implemented by the government so far. Our study indicates that groundwater overdrawal is still prevalent and the dominant factor for the persistent loss in groundwater storage over the HRB/NCP; the current groundwater consumption pattern is far beyond the natural recharge ability in groundwater system.

Air pollution is still an environmental problem that urgently needs to be solved in the North China Plain (NCP). With the aim to explore nitrous acid (HONO) formation and its impact on regional air quality in the NCP, the development and systematic assessment of instruments to measure atmospheric HONO concentration and soil HONO emission flux were realized. Based on field measurements, a 3D chemistry-transport model (the Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System, CMAQ) and a box (0D) model (Master Chemical Mechanism, MCM) were used to explore the HONO budget and its impact on regional air pollution, e.g., summer ozone (O3) pollution and winter haze pollution. We found that agricultural soil was an important HONO source with a significant impact on regional O3 pollution in the summertime. A new soil HONO emission mechanism related to nitrification was proposed. HONO also plays an important role in atmospheric oxidizing capacity and deteriorating regional air quality in the wintertime., La pollution de l'air est toujours un problème environnemental qui doit être résolu de toute urgence dans la Plaine de Chine du Nord (PCN). Dans le but d'explorer la formation de l’acide nitreux (HONO) et son impact sur la qualité de l'air régional dans la PCN, le développement et l'évaluation systématique d'instruments pour mesurer la concentration de HONO atmosphérique et son flux d'émission du sol ont été réalisés. Sur la base de mesures sur le terrain, un modèle 3D de chimie-transport (le système communautaire de modélisation de la qualité de l'air à plusieurs échelles : CMAQ, de l’EPA) et un modèle de boîte (0D) de mécanisme chimique (Master Chemical Mechanism : MCM) ont été utilisés pour explorer le bilan de HONO et son impact sur la pollution atmosphérique régionale, par exemple la pollution estivale à l'ozone (O3) et la pollution par la brume hivernale. Nous avons constaté que le sol agricole était une source importante de HONO avec un impact significatif sur la pollution régionale à l'ozone en été. Un nouveau mécanisme d'émission de HONO du sol lié à la nitrification a été proposé. HONO joue également un rôle important dans la capacité oxydante de l’atmosphère et la détérioration de la qualité de l'air régional en hiver.
