Spatiotemporal patterns of wet–dry encounters between water source and receiving areas in the South-to-North water transfer project by Yuping Han, Jinhang Li, Mengdie Zhao

“…The runoff of the lower Yellow River showed a significant downward trend (− 1.2%/ decade, p < 0.05). (2) The occurrence probability of extreme flood and ebb synchronous events is less than 5%, while the overall distribution of asynchronous and synchronous events is balanced (45–55%), indicating that the risk of water transfer is generally controllable; (3) The four-level water diversion risk scenario (optimal to most unfavorable) is identified through probability simulation, showing that the low-risk operation probability of the project under current conditions is 68%. …”
