Study on river channel rainwater and flood resources utilization

Abstract

In arid regions, the optimal utilization of river channels to collect rainwater resources can effectively alleviate the problem of water scarcity. This paper employs visual MODFLOW software to simulate the infiltration volume of rainwater under different schemes, with the objective of identifying the optimal infiltration volume. The results indicate that the infiltration volume of rainwater is 0.6, 79.7, 36.5, 62, and 10,000 m3 under different design schemes. COMSOL software is employed to simulate the infiltration situation of rainwater under different schemes, and the scheme with the most favourable infiltration effect is identified. The simulation results indicate that scenarios 2, 4, and 5 demonstrate superior early-stage infiltration performance. Ultimately, the optimal infiltration scheme is selected by integrating the infiltration volume, infiltration effect, construction, economic, and ecological factors to achieve the objective of enhancing rainwater harvesting and utilization. This study offers effective and reasonable measures for addressing the challenge of water resources management in arid regions. It provides suitable reference schemes for river channel rainwater storage projects and offers innovative approaches to rainwater resource utilization, thereby contributing to the alleviation of water scarcity in arid areas.
