1 Countermeasures against urban flood in Beijing Fen Yang Beijing Institute of Water (BIW), China Urban flood inundation warning and flood hazard mapping in China Wang Jing China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR), China 29 th May, Korea

2 Flood control system in Beijing Information of Beijing km 2 About 20 million people 2 important reservoirs 5 main rivers Guangting Reservoir Mountain 61% Miyun Reservoir

3 Flood control system in Beijing The Central Town 1085 km 2 (7%) About 12 million people(60%) Yongding River in the west is for flood control Beiyun River in the east is for drainage Centrol Town

4 Flood control system in Beijing Flood Control Project Reservoir total 9.4billion m 3, control the flow generated by 70% mountain area. Rivers 425 Rivers with 6400 km long in the city. 143 Rivers with 2004 km long in plain, 32% regulated. 40 Rivers with 380 km long in central town, 72% regulated. controlled natural

5 小时雨量 (mm) Flood control system in Beijing Food Control Project Rainwater Pipeline 2000 km long covered 95% area of central town. most design standard is 36mm (1year), or 56mm(5year) in some important place. Rainwater Pump station Total 130 pump stations in the city, most designed suitable for 2~3 year return period 年 2 年 3 年 5 年 Design standard distribution of pump station in Central Town

6 Urban flood events Recent years, urban flood happened suddenly and frequently because of extreme weather and local sudden rainstorm, which replaced the past flood most came from the Yongding River. Extreme weather events have occurred 41 times since 2004.

7 Flood Event 7.21 Flood Detail Rainfall average rain is 170 mm in the city, which is the maximum rainfall since 1949(63year). average rain is 215 mm in Central Town, which is the maximum rainfall since 1963(49year). the rainstorm center is in Fangshan, 541 mm rainfall is the maximum recorded rainfall.

8 Effect of Current Flood Control System flood diversion and storage Safe discharging Source reduction monitoring forecast regulation Department linkage, social participation Reservoir & Sluice The city's large and mediumsized reservoirs and sluice running normal, while effectively held flood, cutting flood peak, increase water storage. Dingjiawa Reservoir Chongqing Reservoir

9 Effect of Current Flood Control System flood diversion and storage Safe discharging Source reduction monitoring forecast regulation Department linkage, social participation River & Embankment The Yongding river 200year flood control standard), Chaobai river, Beiyun river ( 50year flood control standard) and other Small and medium-sized rivers regulation (20year drainage standard) make flood through the central town normally,and ensure the urban safety. Chiwei river for flood discharge in Fangshan Beiguan Sluice open for flood discharge in Beiyun River

10 Effect of Current Flood Control System flood diversion and storage Safe discharging Source reduction monitoring forecast regulation Department linkage, social participation Stormwater utilization these structural measures are useful for increasing infiltration,storing water and reducing downstream pressure. Artificia l lake Small watershed governance Sand and gravel pit Flood volume and flood peak decreased by 36% ~ 58%, Runoff coefficient changed from 0.6~0.7 to 0.3~0.4.

11 Effect of Current Flood Control System flood diversion and storage Safe discharging Source reduction monitoring forecast regulation Department linkage, social participation Monitoring forecast Regulation According to rain forecast and upstream real-time monitoring, 5 hours in advance notice of people evacuated. Mountain disaster monitoring and early warning system broadcast 728 times, warning of more than 10,000 text messages, keep contact and well regulation when public communication interrupt, make the loss to a minimum.

12 Effect of Current Flood Control System flood diversion and storage Safe discharging Source reduction monitoring forecast regulation Department linkage, social participation Department linkage, social participation

13 The Next Focus Basic Principle Keep human safety primarily Overall plan, systemic management Integrated structural and non-structural measures coordinate the relation between the near future and the forward future

14 The Next Focus Take 4 years river governance 1460 km long Reduce water accumulation in flyover, lower elevation etc. (Low standard, human construction in river etc.)

15 storage The Next Focus flood detention facilities storage : use Sand and gravel pit, rivers, make sure under 100- year flood do not flow through the central town. reduction: in small watershed drainage unit, enforce construction of lower elevation greenbelt, permeable pavement, provide source control, slow down flow. Detention: Use of low-lying land, park green land, as storage to cut flood peak. permeable lower elevation

16 The Next Focus Flood simulating In important rivers and key areas, figure out flood submerged area, depth, duration, etc. Flood risk grading Define urban flood risk management area

17 The Next Focus Establish and improve early warning mechanism build linkage mechanism with television and other media and communications operators, expand coverage of early warning. Improve safe work mechanism for flood in key areas no entry to dangerous mountain road, go around the city roads and flyovers with water, strengthen security warning in danger zone etc. Build command platform for flood control include rainfall and flow monitoring, early warning, emergency rescue, flood dispatching, flood disaster reporting etc.

18 The Next Focus Universal education about flood prevention, risk escape, self- aid and mutual-aid, disaster mitigation etc. popular science readings, lectures, safety drills, television, radio, newspapers, network, phone message, etc.

30 2 Characteristics of urban inundation disaster 1 The types of disasters which would cause urban inundation are multiple Including heavy rainfall, outside flood, typhoon, flash flood, debris flow, and so on 2 Many new features of urban inundation appear as the rapid development of cities Such as: inundation under road overpass and railway overpass is serious flood spreading along the street flood flows into underground space flood hazard of urban area in the lower reaches increases as the flood control standard improved in the upper reaches.

31 2 Characteristics of urban inundation disaster 3 For some cities, the waterlogging loss is severe The statistical flood and waterlogging disaster loss data of cities in Zhejiang province in 1998 and 1999 shows that the waterlogging loss occupies about 40% of total loss. 4 The main reason for death in mountain cities are flash flood and debris flow In 1991, 1293 persons died caused by flash flood and debris flow in Yunnan and Sichuan province ; In 1997, 1680 persons died caused by flash flood and debris flow in China; In 2004, the flash flood and debris flow caused by Rainne typhoon leaded to 44 persons died which is 24.2% of total death toll. 5 Secondary disasters are severe Urban flood and waterlogging disasters would affect the lifeline system of a city seriously, such as traffic, water supply, power supply and gas supply, etc.

54 5 Conclusions The urban type flood disasters are very serious in China. As Cities of China are in a stage of rapid development, the urban areas will expand continually. In future, the flood disaster risk will rise and the types will be multiple. In order to reduce the flood risk in urban area, flood simulation technology is an important non-structural measures which can provide support to flood hazard mapping, flood prevention warning and decision-making. In fact, this technology have been applied in many cities in China. The urban inundation can not be avoided completely. But we need to try our best to decrease the losses not only by improving and reconstructing our drainage system, but also considering the storage, detention, infiltration and utilization of rain water in process of infrastructure construction.
