Layout Optimization of Pajiang River Flood Storage and Detention Area Based on Joint Flood Control and Operation Model by XIN Yue, LIAO Xiaolong, ZHONG Yixuan, QUAN Xujian, YU Baishun

“…Flood storage and detention areas play an irreplaceable role in flood control and disaster mitigation in river basins.However,the significant weakness of safety layout and safety facility construction of flood storage and detention areas in Pajiang River results in difficult decision making and great loss in flood control application,constraining the application effect of flood control.To this end,this paper proposes a layout optimization scheme by combining the flood control capability in each dike and socioeconomic conditions in the studied detention areas.Then,joint flood control and operation model related to Feilaixia Reservoir-Pajiang River flood storage and detention areas is employed to analyze and calculate the flood control effects before and after the optimized layout schemes.Finally,the recommended layout optimization scheme of the detention areas is selected by comprehensive analysis.Results show that by adding Baishatang dike and Guanluchun dike as safety areas of Pajiang River Basin,the potential inundation cultivated area decreases by 163.2 hm² and the number of people prone to flood risks decreases by 3 002.This indicates the optimized layout scheme can reduce flood detention loss and ensure flood control safety.The results provide technical references and an approach for layout optimization of other detention areas.…”

Study on Flood Control Dispatching Rehearsal in Shenzhen River Basin by LENG Yubo, LIU Xunping, LIU Chuan

“…At present,it is difficult to carry out large-scale flood control project construction in Shenzhen River Basin.Therefore,to ensure the flood control safety of Shenzhen Reservoir and downstream Shenzhen River,this paper follows the requirements of the forecast,early warning,rehearsal,and preplan proposed by the Ministry of Water Resources for flood and drought disaster prevention and analyzes constraints to be considered when constructing the rehearsal scene.In addition,the joint flood control dispatching rehearsal is carried out in Shenzhen Reservoir and Shenzhen River.By simulating the influence of reservoir flood discharge on river channel level under typical conditions,the paper explores the potential of the reservoir in flood regulation and detention and discusses the feasibility of flood discharge by staggering the tide.The results show that Shenzhen River Basin faces the heaviest rainfall in a decade,and the local heaviest rainfall in Shenzhen Reservoir is no more than once in 100 years.At the same time,under the unfavorable conditions of astronomical tides,Shenzhen Reservoir can effectively regulate flood peaks and ensure the safety of flood control.The results reveal the optimal effect of reservoir dispatching on flood control safety of Shenzhen Reservoir and Shenzhen River,and the joint dispatching rehearsal of Shenzhen River and Shenzhen Reservoir can be realized scientifically and reasonably through the flood model.…”

The Time-Space Joint Response Characteristics of AE-UT under Step Loading and Its Application by Xiaoran Wang, Xiaofei Liu, Enyuan Wang, Chong Zhang, Haishan Jia, Dexing Li

“…Moreover, the joint response of UT-AE spatial distribution field is analyzed, and an AE-UT joint monitoring method to detect early-warning signals of a rockburst disaster in a coal seam is proposed. The results show the following. (1) During the loading process, the AE pulses/energy and UT attenuation coefficient first slowly decrease and then increase steadily and finally rapidly increase, while the UT velocity shows a trend of first gradually increasing and then slowly decreasing and finally a sharp decline. (2) AE pulses and energy are significantly or highly correlated with the UT velocity and attenuation coefficient. …”

Analysis of Extreme Precipitation Events in Ganjiang River Basin Since the Second Half of the 20th Century by ZOU Xiongyuan, LIU Yanping, WAN Dan, WU Xia, ZHENG Kang, ZHAO Junkai

“…Under the background of global warming,the frequency of local extreme precipitation events increases gradually.This paper selects six extreme precipitation indexes such the extreme precipitation threshold (EPT),extreme precipitation (R95),extreme precipitation days (RD95),extreme precipitation intensity (RI95),maximum precipitation for five consecutive days (RX5day) and maximum precipitation for one day (RX1day),and analyzes the extreme precipitation events in Ganjiang River Basin from 1964 to 2013 by percentile threshold method,M-K trend analysis method,sliding t test method and Kriging spatial interpolation method.The results show that:①The extreme precipitation index of most stations in Ganjiang River Basin shows non-significant upward trend;②The mutation time of extreme precipitation index of each station is mostly concentrated in the 1980s and 1990s,and a few stations have significant mutation (α=0.01);③Except for RD95,all the extreme precipitation indexes decrease from east to west,on the contrary,RD95 decreases from west to east.The research results can provide reference for flood control,disaster reduction and water resources development and utilization in Ganjiang River Basin.…”

Medium- and Long-term Runoff Prediction Based on SMA-LSSVM by TIAN Jinghuan, LI Congxin, LI Ang

“…Medium-and long-term runoff prediction is extremely important for flood control,disaster reduction and the utilization efficiency improvement of water resources.To avoid the influence of prediction model parameters on prediction accuracy,this paper proposes a medium-and long-term runoff prediction model based on least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) optimized by the slime mold algorithm (SMA).Firstly,five standard test functions are selected to compare the simulation results of SMA and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms in different dimensions.Secondly,SMA is used to optimize the penalty parameters and kernel parameters of LSSVM,and the comparison models of LSSVM and PSO-LSSVM are constructed.Finally,the models are verified with the monthly runoff of Manwan Hydropower Station Reservoir and Yingluoxia Hydrological Station as prediction examples.The results show that the mean square error of the SMA-LSSVM model is 29.26% and 7.42% lower than those of the LSSVM and PSO-LSSVM models,respectively,in the monthly runoff prediction of the Manwan station,and 32.61% and 6.61% lower,respectively,in the monthly runoff prediction of the Yingluoxia station.The proposed SMA-LSSVM model has better comprehensive prediction performance and also provides a new method for medium- and long-term runoff prediction.…”
