An Emergency Operation Model in Upstream Pools of the Accident Pool of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project

Abstract

Considering the potential emergency accident in the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project (MRP), previous studies required upstream pools of accident pool where accident occurs to maintain constant downstream level in the final state of emergency operation, which could cause large amount of abandoned water. In order to save water resources, an emergency operation model in upstream pools of the accident pool of the MRP was built, which allows downstream levels to rise by a certain amount in the final state, and can minimize the total abandoned water through allocating volumes in the upstream pools. This model could play an important role to determine reasonable emergency operation measures in the upstream pools.
