Multi-component Runoff Simulation in Arid Area Based on BP Neural Network by HAN Zichen, WANG Yi, HE Bin

“…The surface runoff of inland rivers in arid area of Northwest China is a valuable available water resource.However,due to the complexity of runoff composition,runoff simulation is complex,and it is difficult to actually utilize the water resources.This paper applies the back-propagation (BP) neural network combined with the degree-day factor of snowmelt runoff model (SRM) to analyze and simulate the runoff process of Kaidu River Basin in Xinjiang.The results show that:①The simulation accuracy is high.The daily average temperature is the main factor affecting the runoff and process in the target river basin.②Using autocorrelation coefficient method to process daily average flow series can significantly improve the simulation accuracy of annual average daily runoff,especially for daily runoff in the snow melting period (March to May) of target river basin that cannot be effectively simulated by ordinary input.This study provides a new way for the rapid simulation of runoff supplied by glacier,snow melting and precipitation in arid area of Northwest China,and an effective reference for rational utilization of water resources.…”

Application of HEC-HMS Model in Flood Simulation of Qingshan River Basin by PENG Chujie

“…It is more and more important to realize the fast simulation of flood process in the early warning of mountain flood disaster in small and medium river basins.This paper builds a distributed hydrological model for Qingshan River Basin by combining HEC-HMS model with GIS technology,extracts the characteristics of river system and conducts gridding on small basin based on DEM data,calculates the surface runoff by initial and constant loss method and Snyder unit hydrograph method,simulates the process of base flow recession through nonlinear boussinesq method,conducts the channel routing by Muskingum method,calibrates the parameters with the past 5 measured flood data,as well as verifies the prediction results by 13 floods.The simulation results show that during the verification period,the errors of peak discharge are all within 20%,the time difference for peaks is less than 3 h,the certainty coefficient is less than 0.7 for only 2 floods,and above 0.7 for others.The results show that with high accuracy and stability,the HEC-HMS model for flood simulation in this river basin conforms to the requirements of the flood forecast,which is of great application value for the exploration of small basin flood simulation and analysis.…”

Simulation of Storm Runoff Under Different Recurrence Periods in Jinfeng District of Yinchuan by HOU Jingwei, SUN Shiqin

“…Visual simulation of urban storm runoff can reveal the spatiotemporal laws of urban catchment runoff,node overflow,pipe network drainage,and waterlogging risk under different recurrence periods.This research selected the central part of the Jinfeng District in Yinchuan,China,as the study area.Runoff in each sub-catchment,drainage capacity of the pipe network,and the urban waterlogging risk under different recurrence periods were simulated through the stormwater management model (SWMM) and the geographic information system (GIS).The results show that the total rainfall,surface water storage,surface runoff,and runoff coefficient all increase with the recurrence period.There are positive correlations of rainfall intensity with the depth,time,and area of node waterlogging,area of the high waterlogging risk region,and the maximum depth and time of full flow in pipes.Node overflow mainly occurs in low-lying areas and regions with large catchments,dense populations,or large impervious areas.GIS and SWMM can be used to visually simulate the urban storm runoff and assess the drainage capacity of the pipe network and the urban waterlogging risk under different recurrence periods.The results of this research can provide a reference for the maintenance of urban pipe networks,the prevention and control of waterlogging disasters,and the construction of sponge cities.…”

Analysis on the Impact of Water Intake and Consumption on the Runoff of Mainstream of the Yellow River by QI Yonghui, Chelimuge, YU Huanghao, QIAN Yu, LI Binquan

“…Water intake and water consumption have an important impact on the runoff of the Yellow River Basin.Based on the measured runoff data from the main control stations of the mainstream of the Yellow River and its water resources bulletin data,this paper preliminarily analyzes the runoff changes of the main sections of the upper and lower reaches of the mainstream and the impact of water intake and consumption on the mainstream runoff.The results show that:①The annual runoff measured at all three stations,namely Lanzhou (1919—2018),Huayuankou (1919—2018),and Lijin (1950—2018),shows a decreasing trend,with non-significant decrease in Lanzhou station in the upper reaches,but significant decrease in the two stations in the middle and lower reaches.②During the period of 1998—2019,the annual runoff of the 11 main hydrological stations on the mainstream of the Yellow River shows a consistent increasing trend,which may results from the increase in average precipitation in the basin.③The changes in water intake and total water consumption in the basin from 1998 to 2019 show an increasing trend,indicating that the water intake along the Yellow River increases steadily.The influence of water intake and consumption on the runoff changes in the section above Lanzhou is small,with the contribution less than 20%.In the middle and lower reaches,the impact of water intake and consumption on the reservoir storage is big,especially in the Longmen-Sanmenxia subarea,where the proportion of restored surface runoff to the natural river runoff reaches 55.4%.…”
