Introduction

Interpretation of the core content of the standard

This standard innovatively establishes a four-level early warning system based on the dynamic critical surface rainfall threshold, and realizes quantitative risk assessment through the coupling analysis of watershed soil moisture content and surface rainfall forecast value.


Comparison of early warning level systems

River type Level I (red) Level II (orange) Level III (yellow) Level IV (blue)
Rivers excluding reservoirs ≥overbank water level ≥guaranteed water level ≥warning water level near warning water level (0.5m)
Rivers including reservoirs ≥overbank water level ≥calibrated flood level ≥design flood level ≥flood control high water level
Rivers without eigenvalues ≥50-year return period 20-50-year return period 5-20-year return period Close to 5-year return period

Key Technology Implementation Path

Dynamic Threshold Derivation Method

The relationship between soil moisture and critical surface rainfall is established using the nonlinear discriminant function (Formula A.1):

d(z) = w₁zᵃ + w₂

Taking the Tunxi River Basin in Anhui Province as an example, its 24-hour Level III threshold function is: y = -211.83x⁰·⁷¹ + 320

Data-free watershed processing

Use watershed parameter transplantation formula (A.3):

Pₜ = b₁Aᵇ²Sₗᵇ³Lᵇ⁴Sᵢᵇ⁵

Threshold value estimation is achieved by comprehensively considering five types of geographical parameters, including catchment area, slope, and land use.


Business Implementation Suggestions

  1. Give priority to establishing a parameter library for the watershed hydrological model to achieve differentiated processing for watersheds with different data completeness.
  2. Warning issuance needs to be combined with the GIS system to display the hierarchical visualization of the RGB color scale (255,0,0)-(0,102,255).
  3. For rivers with no characteristic values, it is recommended to supplement historical flood surveys and improve the return period benchmark data.

Standard Evolution Analysis

Compared with the 2013 version of the trial specification, this standard has the following major breakthroughs:

  • For the first time, the distinction between overbank water level and overdam water level is clearly defined.
  • The concept of dynamic critical surface rainfall is introduced to replace the original fixed threshold method.
  • Added parameter migration technology path for watersheds without data
