Applicability of ERA5 Reanalysis Data in Simulating Water Level of Medium and Small-Scale Reservoirs:a Case Study of Changjiang Reservoir by CHEN Junlai, ZHANG Zhouwen, CHEN Weihua, HU Xubao

“…The water level in front of the reservoir is important observation data for medium and small-scale reservoir basins.The reanalysis of this data provides optional schemes for the simulation of water levels in medium and small-scale reservoirs,but its applicability still needs to be evaluated.This study took the Changjiang Reservoir Basin in Zhongshan City as an example to assess the accuracy of ERA5,ERA5-Land reanalysis precipitation,and potential evapotranspiration data under different time scales.Based on the three-source Xinanjiang model coupled with reservoir water management,this study set up different input scenarios and analyzed the applicability of ERA5,ERA5-Land precipitation,and potential evapotranspiration data in water level simulation of the reservoir.The results show that at the annual,monthly,and daily scales,the two reanalysis precipitation data in the study area are consistent with the observed precipitation,while the consistency of the reanalysis potential evapotranspiration data with the observed evaporation is weaker.In the seven scenarios of water level simulation,the rate-periodic NSE can all reach 0.6 or more,and there are differences in the input during the validation period.The adaptability of ERA5 reanalysis data is better than that of ERA5-Land,and the reanalysis potential evapotranspiration data can be used as an alternative input for the model evaporation data,but the reanalysis precipitation data is not suitable for direct use in the model input.This study can provide a reference for the application of ERA5 and ERA5-Land data in the simulation and forecasting of reservoir water levels with insufficient data and provide a feasible scheme for the construction of reliable hydrological models in medium and small-scale reservoir basins.…”

Underground Karst Stratification in Covered Karst Areas Under Control of River Valley Evolution: A Case Study of Baishiyao Hydropower Station by CHEN Qijun, LI Zhensong, LI Ningxin, ZHAN Jie

“…The underground karsts of the river valley in the covered karst area generally have the characteristics of vertical zoning with a strong upper part and a weak lower part.The causes of such vertical zoning are still unclear,which brings difficulties to practical engineering applications.Therefore,the multi-phase superimposed stratification model of river valley karsts is simplified to the three-phase superimposed strengthening model of underground karsts of the river valley.The simplification is conducted on the basis of finding out the characteristic karstification heads such as the maximum karstification head,the maximum strengthening head,and the latest strengthening head in the evolution process of the river valley from the canyon period to the basin period.The three-phase superimposed strengthening model is divided into the deep isolated cave layer,middle enhanced karst layer,and modern karst-influenced layer from bottom to top.Taking the Baishiyao Hydropower Station as an engineering example,this study analyzes the evolution of the river valley and the stratification of the underground karst profile.It is proposed that as the modern karst-influenced layer of the dam foundation is strongly developed,it is the key point of anti-seepage.The maximum anti-seepage depth of karsts should enter the middle enhanced karst layer to greatly lessen the anti-seepage treatment of karst leakage of the dam foundation and save engineering investment.Years of leakage observation suggest that the anti-seepage effect is good.The underground karst stratification in the covered karst area is of certain practical significance and can be used as a reference for the seepage prevention engineering of similar dam foundations.…”
