Complex Problems and Adaptive Water Resource Engineering Solutions during the Construction of Rio Ojo de Agua Flood Control Project

Abstract In this study, an adaptive water resource management framework with combined policies (AWFP) is developed for mitigating adverse effects on water resource in a floodplain area due to population-industry transformation in context of coordinative development of urban agglomeration. A location-entropy based PVRA model (LE-PCRA) and coupla-risk analysis (CRA) can be introduced to reflect the adverse effects of industrial information and driven population on water resources; meanwhile risks (including water shortage, soil loss and flood control) and corresponding correlations have been shown in the risk maps. Moreover, an adaptive scenario analysis based stochastic-fuzzy method (ASSF) can be embedded into an AWFP to deal with multiple uncertainties and their interactions due to subjective and artificial factors. The proposed AWFP is applied to a practical case study of Yongding river floodplain region for confronting adverse effects on water resources due to population-industry transformation in the context of coordinative development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, China. The results were obtained to reflect the negative effects of population-industry transformation and corresponding water allocation patterns in floodplain, which is effective to confront natural and artificial damages (such as water deficit, water and soil loss, and flood damage), risks and function degradation of floodplain contemporarily. Meanwhile, various policy scenarios (such as farmland returning to wetland, improvement of water resource utilization efficiency, water diversion and flood control) can be analyzed to support adjusting current population-economy strategies and water management patterns to accommodate source function of floodplain with a risk-averse and sustainable manner.

Management Modes

This work introduced water resource management of some developed countries such as the USA, Australia, Japan, Germany, France, etc. The countries developed individual water resources management models based on their own conditions. In America, a coordinative mode between region and river basin was formed. The Japanese muti-flood control mode which clarified the responsibilities of the administration and local government enhanced the management. Singapore owns a unique management mode, which effectively guaranteed the implementation of water resource management. This work offers references to the formation of water resource management modes suitable for different countries.

Semi Arid

Abstract Among the most widespread structures for successfully retaining water and checking erosion on the semi-arid portions of China's Loess Plateau, check dams retain silt at slower than projected rates, leading to flood control issues. Meanwhile, the shortage and the uneven distribution of time and space of water resources in semi-arid areas can easily cause droughts and floods, which seriously restricted the rapid development of the socioeconomic. However, some of the high-quality rain and flood resources accumulated in the check dams can be used to alleviate part of the water resources crisis instead of causing flood. With the goal of holistically maximizing a projected check dam array's water resource, ecosystem and socioeconomic benefits, a Check Dam Benefit Maximization Model (CDBMM) was first developed. The CDBMM was first applied to the Si Jiagou Basin, and the model showed the total costs represent 7.07% of the total and rather significant benefits. Water resources benefits accounting for 45.40% of the total benefits, indicating that the water resources benefits were substantial and should be considered as the main influencing factors in the basin's ecosystem-friendly design and construction. Use of the CDBMM in watershed planning will allow a more efficient use of water and soil resources and greatly alleviate water crises in the semi-arid area. It can further provide a reference for both check dam system planning and the system benefits analysis.

Hydrological Forecast

Although there are frequent floods, the need of utilizing the flood-water resource in Yangtze River is becoming increasingly intense. Following the concept of ensuring health Yangtze River and promoting harmony between people and water, the Three Gorges Reservoir is practiced as an example for utilization of floodwater resource based on accurate hydrological forecast and moderately taking the flood control risks.
