To prevent floods, urban basins must improve the infiltration capacity and water retention of the whole basin. There are several basic technologies for river basin management, such as infiltration trenches or rainwater storage. However, a method of soil amendment that prevents flood disasters has not been established. This study aims to evaluate the infiltration capacity of soil amendments using bamboo charcoal and humus. A constant-head infiltration test and rainfall simulation were conducted to evaluate the properties of the soil amendments. The constant-head infiltration test's results showed that soils mixed with 30% humus had the greatest potential for influencing initial and final infiltration rates, and the more the mixing rates of bamboo charcoal and humus were increased, the higher the water retention capacity. The results of the rainfall simulation showed that soils mixed with 30% humus had the highest final infiltration rates and lowest multiplication spillage. To reduce the runoff volume using soil amendment technology, it is important to delay overland flow, and the hydraulic properties of the soils mixed with bamboo charcoal and humus were as effective as those of granite soils.展开更多

On July 12,2004,the rainstorm in Shanghai lasted less than 1 h,but it caused 7 deaths,more than 20 injuries,extensive power outages and traffic paralysis. At the end of 2005,the continuous snowfall in Weihai City of Shandong Province for half a month caused direct economic losses of over 200 million yuan,and the continuous heavy snowfall had a serious impact on people’s lives. From July 17 to 23,2021,Henan Province suffered a rare extremely heavy rainstorm in history,with a direct economic loss of 120.6 billion yuan. Faced with such urban meteorological disasters and other types of urban disasters,combined with the current situation of disaster prevention and reduction in China,what will managers,decision-makers,and experts and scholars think about from them.展开更多

It puts forward the ideas of setting up a comprehensive system for urban flood prevention. This comprehensive system consists of six sub-systems such as: 1) command system; 2) system of flood control and drainage works; 3) system of keeping away of flood and coping with flood; 4) system of flood forecast; 5) flood -fighting and rescue system; 6) flood-preventing legislative and insurance system.

To quantitatively evaluate the performance of GSI systems on CSO and urban flooding control, USEPA-Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) model was adopted in this study to simulate the behaviors of GSI systems in a well- developed urban drainage area, PSW45, under different circumstances. The impact of different percentages of stormwater runoff transported from impervious surfaces to the GSI systems on CSO and urban flooding control has also been investigated. Results show that with current buildup, GSI systems in PSW45 have the best performance for low intensity and short duration events on both volume and peak flow reductions, and have the worst pertbrmance tor high intensity and long durataon events. Since the low intensity and short duration events are dominant from a long-term perspective, utilizing GSI systems is considered as an effective measure of CSO control to meet the long-term controlstrategy for PSW45 watershed. However, GSI systems are not suitable for the flooding control purpose in PSW45 due to the high occurrence possibility of urban flooding during or after high intensity events where GSI systems have relatively poor performance no matter for a short or long duration event,展开更多

This paperdiscussed the types, basic features, formation, and prevention conditions of road geologic hazards in China basedon field research and study data collected thus far. The study considered an urban area of a city in southwestChina as the center and a geological field investigation was performed over a total of 282 km on three importantlifeline projects. The results show: Types of geologic hazards along the highways are mainly avalanches, debrisflows, and landslides, respectively. Among them, the landslips are mainly distributed along the roads, with slip,dumping, and wrong break types as the main ones;the debris flows are widely distributed, mainly concentrated inthe river valleys;and the unstable slopes are relatively few in number. Geological disasters are characterized bylarge-scale and concentrated triggering in time and space, and a single disaster can easily trigger other disasters,thus forming a chain of disasters. Neotectonic movement, seismic activity, topography, climatic conditions,stratigraphic lithology, and human activities are important factors leading to geologic hazards in the study area.This study is of great practical significance for reducing the occurrence of roadbed diseases and prolonging theservice life of highways.展开更多

Occurrence characteristics and rule of rainstorm and flood disaster were found,and disaster situation was evaluated and analyzed. The results showed that( 1)there was almost local rainstorm and flood in Shaoyang City every year,with strong seasonal characteristic.( 2) The loss caused by rainstorm and flood disaster was the most serious in various meteorological disasters.( 3) Rainstorm and flood disaster generally had the sudden and devastating characteristics. Via the analysis and research on rainstorm and flood disaster,defense measure and countermeasure of rainstorm and flood were proposed,which could provide scientific decision basis for party and government leading flood relief,and had important guidance significance for preventing and mitigating disasters by government agencies.展开更多
