Simulation of water flow management by the flood control facilities in the adjacent river basins

Abstract

A systematic approach to reducing the risk of flooding is considered. The main idea of it is to switch from the flood control only by the one hydro system on the main river but to control the whole river system, including many adjacent river basins at various levels. This proposal expands the possibility of using a flood control system of self-regulating hydro systems distributed on adjacent drainage basins at multiple levels by organizing their joint work, ensuring that the maximum allowable water flow in the control sections of the river system is not exceeded. Using the proposed approach will allow protecting from flooding significant areas of land in the lower pool of the main hydroelectric complex in the context of climate change.
