A new method to estimate the total drainage area of soil-water conservation projects on the upstream of Wangkuai watershed in Daqinghe River basin, China

摘要

A new approach was presented to calculate the total drainage area (TDA) of many small hydraulic engineering projects on the upstream Wangkuai reservoir watershed considering flood scaling. By establishing the correlation of flood peak between Wangkuai and Fuping hydrological station, the event-based flood scaling in Wangkuai reservoir watershed was analyzed and the scaling exponent theta was 0.5688. Relations between flood peak and maximum 3 h rainfall amount were fitted for the undisturbed and disturbed periods to analyze the effect of small reservoirs on the flood peak. The average change ratio of flood peak was 15.05% and the TDA of small hydraulic structures was 939.88 km(2).
