Study on the Impact of Step Layout on Secondary Energy Dissipation and Flow Pattern of Spillway Tailwater by YANG Ruiguo, QIU Yong, CHEN Yubin, YUE Cuiyun, YIN Xingtang

“…A secondary energy dissipation is required between the sill underflow stilling basin and the downstream tailrace at the outlet of the Dabaitian Reservoir spillway in Fengqing County,Yunnan Province.At the same time,the stepped energy dissipation section is connected through a 40° bend to adapt to the change of terrain.Through the hydraulic model test research,based on the original plan,after the water flowing out of the stilling basin passes through the stepped bend,an obvious Z-shaped folded water flow is produced on the plane.When it occurs once in 30 years,the water velocity on the left side of the bend reaches 9.97 m/s,threatening the stability of the rock formations along the slope of the left bank.The modified plan of step backward movement can effectively improve the flow pattern in the bend.On this basis,an improved plan to reduce the size of the original step (2.50 m×1.50 m to 1.00 m×0.60 m) is proposed to avoid falling water flow at the location of the step in the case of frequent small-flow floods.The research results show that in the improved stepped energy dissipation combination for bend,the water depth distribution along the cross section of the tailrace downstream of the stilling basin is relatively even in the case of small-flow floods,and the flow patten is improved significantly,so the water flowing back to the river smoothly is realized under frequent flood discharges.…”

Research on Monthly Runoff Forecast in Beijiang River Basin Based on Multi-model Ensemble Method by ZHONG Yixuan, LIAO Xiaolong, QUAN Xujian, YI Ling, CHEN Yan, LI Yuanyuan, XUE Jiao

“…The accuracy of the monthly runoff forecast plays a fairly important role in aspects such as optimal allocation of water resources,flood control and drought relief in a basin,water dispatching,and power generation optimization of reservoir groups.The commonly used methods for the monthly runoff forecast mainly include water balance models,mathematical statistics models,and artificial neural networks.Studies have shown that any single model cannot achieve the optimal monthly runoff forecast.Therefore,the multi-model ensemble method provides an effective way to eliminate model uncertainty and improve the accuracy of the monthly runoff forecast.Specifically,the research takes Pingshi,Lishi,Hengshi,and Shijiao stations in the Beijiang River Basin as the research object to analyze and compare the effects of the seasonal auto-regressive (SAR) model,two-parameter monthly water balance (TPMWB) model,and artificial neural network (ANN) model.Then,the multi-model ensemble method for the above-mentioned stations is proposed on the basis of the Bayesian model averaging (BMA) method.The research results reveal that compared with any of the three models,the multi-model ensemble method has significantly improved the accuracy of the monthly runoff forecast with a higher determination coefficient (DC) and a lower mean absolute percentage error (MAPE),and thus it can provide better support for decisions in dispatching in the basin.…”

Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Precipitation in West River Basin Based on Remote Sensing Precipitation by QIN Zhanbo, FANG Rongjie, HUANG Guangling, SU Zhong, XU Jingxuan

“…To accurately analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of precipitation in the West River Basin,this paper evaluates the applicability of GPM precipitation data in the West River Basin from 2001 to 2019 by the measured precipitation data from 34 meteorological stations in the basin and quantitatively analyzes the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of precipitation in the West River Basin based on the GPM data.The results show that the GPM data are consistent with the measured precipitation data with reasonable errors,and have applicability in the West River Basin.The annual precipitation in the basin shows an overall upward trend,and the characteristics of alternate stages of drought and flood periods.The precipitation from April to September accounts for 78.39% of the whole year.The spatial distribution of annual and monthly precipitation shows a gradually increasing trend from west to east step by step.The precipitation has increased in the past 19 years,but 72.39% of the areas do not reach the confidence level of 90%.The degree of precipitation variation is mainly moderate,accounting for 66.24%.In the past 19 years,78.50% of the areas have shown reverse continuous precipitation,and 61.16% of the areas where precipitation increased in the past 19 years do not reach the confidence level of 90%.The future precipitation is likely to reverse to a decreasing trend.The research results can provide theoretical support for scientific planning of West River Basin water resources and promoting the high-quality development of river basin water conservancy in the new stage.…”

Multifaceted changes in water availability with a warmer climate by Binglan Gu, Sha Zhou, Bofu Yu, Kirsten L. Findell, Benjamin R. Lintner

“…Wet regions with low and high seasonality are likely to experience more concentrated increases in wet-season runoff by up to 20%, highlighting potential increases in flood-related vulnerability. Low-seasonality regions exhibit faster wet-season increases and more rapid dry-season decreases in soil moisture, heightening the likelihood of water scarcity and drought. …”

Influence of Tianjiaotan Hydraulic Project on Ecology of Mangrove Forest in Xinying Bay by WEN Jizhou, ZHAO Guanghui, WANG Lang, ZHANG Zhiguang, ZHANG Shalong, LI Mei

“…The construction and operation of Tianjiaotan Reservoir have changed the hydrological characteristics of Beimen River channel under the dam and affect the area of dilution zone,salinity,saltwater intrusion distance,and sediments in Beimen River estuary,which will further affect the growth and reproduction of the mangrove forest in Xinying Bay.This article investigates the current ecological status of the mangrove forest in Xinying Bay of Beimen River and establishes a mathematic model for planar two-dimensional salinity diffusion in Beimen River estuary by adopting three key factors affecting the growth and reproduction of the mangrove forest,such as the area of dilution zone,salinity,and saltwater intrusion distance.In addition,the article analyzes the influence of Tianjiaotan hydraulic project on the ecology of the mangrove forest.The results show that the salinity change of the estuary has little effect on the adult plants in the mangrove forest (with growth stress mainly observed) but limits the growth and development of seedlings.The increase in saltwater intrusion distance in the flood season can stimulate the upward development of the mangrove forest along the river;the decrease in the area of dilution zone in Xinying Bay may change the structure of the mangrove community in the estuary in a way that benefits the growth of salt-tolerant mangrove plants such as Avicennia marina and Rhizophora stylosa and affects the growth and development of salt-intolerant mangroves plants.The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the ecological conservation of the mangrove forest in Xinying Bay.…”
