Impact of Spatiotemporal Rainfall Distribution and Underlying Surface Changes on Flood Processes in Meijiang River Basin, China
2025
Overview
This study reports on the impact of rainfall patterns and land surface changes on flood dynamics in the Meijiang River Basin, located in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River. We formulated a range of rainfall patterns and spatial distribution scenarios and employed the MIKE SHE model to evaluate variations in flood volume, flood peak, and the timing of flood peaks. We found that under comparable areal rainfall conditions, flood volumes fluctuated by up to 6.22% among the different rainfall patterns, whereas flood peaks exhibited differences of up to 36.23%. When the rainfall center moved from upstream to downstream, both flood volume and flood peak initially increased before decreasing, with maximum values of 4.2 billion m3 and 4900 m3/s, respectively. We selected three basin scales (i.e., 10,000, 1000, and 100 km2) for comparative analysis. In the period between 1985 and 2020, the changes in land surface conditions resulted in decreases in the flood peaks of the three basins by 7.61, 11.53, and 15.79%, respectively; a reduction in the flood volumes of the three basins by 6.58, 9.60, and 10.48%, respectively; and delayed peak times by 3, 2, and 2 h, respectively. The results of this study show the significant influence exerted by rainfall patterns, the location of the rainfall centers, and the impact of changes in land surface conditions on flood processes. In particular, when the area of the basin was reduced, the influence of the underlying surface was more obvious. These results also show that flood prediction needs to consider the complex interaction of multiple factors.
