The Impact

The inter-basin water transfer project is one of the most important means to solve the uneven distribution of water resources in time and space, rationally allocate water resources, and promote the construction of water ecological civilization. Research on the operation impact and channel hydraulic response is meaning for the safe operation of long-distance water conveyance canals. Taking the Middle Route Project (MRP) of South-to-North Water Diversion (SNWD) as example, this paper built the onedimensional steady and unsteady flow model and investigated the impact of roughness change, emergency rescue technology and equipment, and sluice control failure. Results showed that increased roughness decreased the water diversion efficiency of MRP to some degree. The emergency rescue technology and equipment occupied the channel section and declined flow capacity. The occurrence of sluice control failure relatively played an increasing impact on upstream water level and a decreasing impact downstream water level and flow discharge. The impact of the above scenarios on the scheduling operation can be reduced to a certain extent by regular cleaning and maintenance, development of rational water emergency rescue project, development of staff skill, etc. This research can provide support for safe operation and regulation of the MRP of SNWD.

With the development of the economy, human activities have more and more effects on natural environment. The large water conservancy and hydropower projects caused great multi-aspect influences on the environmental changes. The unreasonable activities of mankind in water resources exploitation have deteriorated the natural environment, intensifying the conflicts between human beings and the nature. Environment and natural disasters have brought forward rigorous challenge on the survival and development of the mankind. The concept of environmental variation is proposed in analyzing the processes of environmental change, and the reparation methods for the river environment variation have been stated as well. Styles of river environmental variation can be classified according to characteristics of the river and of human activities. The characteristics and the consequences of the environmental variation in the estuary of Yellow River are analyzed, so have the reparation methods. With the development of the economy, the human activities have more and more effects on natural environment. The large Water Conservancy and Hydropower Projects, such as the big-dam-building on the river, the water-transferring project, the water resources-exploiting project, and the sewage-discharge project, etc., have caused great multi-aspect influences on the environmental changes. The unreasonable activities of mankind in water resources exploitation have deteriorated the natural environment, intensifying the conflicts between the human beings and the nature. Environment and natural disasters have brought forward rigorous challenge on the survival and development of the mankind. Some abnormal environmental changes (Environment Variation) can be observed in rivers, influencing our life greatly, especially the environmental variation in the mouth of Yellow River.

Scientific Decision

An inter-basin water transfer project is one of the effective ways to resolve the problem of an uneven distribution of water resources. Temporal and spatial variations in rainfall in different basins greatly affect water supply and demand in inter-basin water transfer projects, leading to risks to the operation of the water transfer projects. This paper applies a Bayesian network model to analyze this risk and studies the rich–poor rainfall encounter risk between a water source area and water receiving areas in the middle route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project in China. Real time scenario simulations with the input of new observations were also studied. The results show that the rich–poor rainfall encounter risk is high for the Tangbai River receiving area in the fourth quarter, for the Huai River and South of Hai River receiving area in the second quarter, and for the North of the Hai River receiving area in the fourth and first quarters. The scenario simulations reflect risk change in the operation of water transfer projects, providing scientific decision support for the management of the water resource distribution in the inter-basin water transfer projects.
