Annual Average

In the downstream tidal section of the Yangtze River, nine kinds of combinations of hydrological environmental conditions are considered, including the annual average runoff flow, the annual average peak flow and the flood control design flow, as well as the three conditions of spring, medium and neap tides. By means of the numerical simulation method, the effective performance parameter values for conventional intercepting boom under different environmental conditions are obtained by simulating 9 kinds of maximum current speed to withstand, Max.CS, respectively. The results show that, in the downstream fast current tidal section of the Yangtze River, for the boom performance index of Max.CS, the relatively extensive applicability value should be 3.0kn under the condition of the annual average runoff flow; 4.0Kn should be selected under the condition of the annual average peak flow; and 4.5Kn should be selected under the flood control design flow. This study can provide technical support for the design, selection and use of booms in downstream waters of the Yangtze River.

The Relationship

Hourly flood flow estimation for gauged and ungauged catchments is a prerequisite for planning and water management. Various methods have been applied in a multitude of studies to calculate the peak flow for ungauged catchments. However, it is not simple for engineers to use the existing methods in practical applications. An easier method is suggested for this purpose in this study. The authors estimated the relationship between the runoff coefficient, intensity of rainfall, and curve number, and then utilized the relationship to calculated the peak flow using the rational method for ungauged catchments. Rainfall and flood time series for ungauged study catchments were generated by a simple data generation method and a distributed rainfall–runoff model. Results showed that the runoff coefficients simulated using the estimated relationship reasonably agree with the runoff coefficients in the studied ungauged catchments. In addition, the peak flow simulated using the rational method and the relationship highly agree with the peak flow in the ungauged catchments. Therefore, the peak flow in ungauged catchments can be easily calculated by this method, which is more pragmatic for engineers.

Actual Design

In this study, we developed a program for detention pond sizing based on Excel in order to improve user convenience. The program includes a function for the derivation of flood hydrograph that was embodied by using the rational method hydrograph for connecting the design of the stormwater pipe. The design method of a permeable detention pond that is a kind of low impact development (LID) technique was also implemented. In addition, the operation of the program was found to be stable, and various discharge structures such as weir, pump, and pipe could be easily conducted using the engine of the stormwater management model (SWMM). The developed detention pond sizing program was applied to the actual design. Subsequently, similar results were derived by comparing with the actual design, and it was found that the program was appropriate.

Many floodplains are excluded from development because the floods cause considerable damage to people’s lives and properties. Systems of hydraulic engineering structures for flood protection working with hydropower facilities are analysed to solve the problem of reducing the flood control volume of hydropower station. Methods of reducing the risk of flooding in the river basin by means of a distributed system of detention self-regulated dams are discussed. A geoinformation method used to justify the selection of parameters of such dams, primarily location of dam that minimize impact on the environment (ecological factor), is presented. In the present study, a system of multipurpose flood protection self-regulated dams is analysed as the measures for mitigation of flash floods in the Far Eastern region of Russia.

Qinhuai River

The urban agglomeration polders type of flood control pattern is a general flood control pattern in the eastern plain area and some of the secondary river basins in China. A HEC-HMS model of Qinhuai River basin based on the flood control pattern was established for simulating basin runoff, examining the impact of urban agglomeration polders on flood events, and estimating the effects of urbanization on hydrological processes of the urban agglomeration polders in Qinhuai River basin. The results indicate that the urban agglomeration polders could increase the peak flow and flood volume. The smaller the scale of the flood, the more significant the influence of the polder was to the flood volume. The distribution of the city circle polder has no obvious impact on the flood volume, but has effect on the peak flow. The closer the polder is to basin output, the smaller the influence it has on peak flows. As the level of urbanization gradually improving of city circle polder, flood volumes and peak flows gradually increase compared to those with the current level of urbanization (the impervious rate was 20%). The potential change in flood volume and peak flow with increasing impervious rate shows a linear relationship.
