Abstract
In order to meet the demand of emergency water supply in the northern region without affecting normal water transfer, considering the use of the existing South-to-North Water Transfer eastern route project to explore the potential of floodwater resource utilization in the flood season of Hongze Lake and Luoma Lake in Jiangsu Province, this paper carried out relevant optimal operating research. First, the hydraulic linkages between the lakes were generalized, then the water resources allocation mode and the scale of existing projects were clarified. After that, the actual available amount of flood resources in the lakes was evaluated. The average annual available floodwater resources in 2003–2017 was 1.49 billion m3, and the maximum available capacity was 30.84 billion m3. Then, using the floodwater resource utilization method of multi period flood limited water levels, the research period was divided into the main flood season (15 July to 15 August) and the later flood season (16 August to 10 September, 11 September to 30 September) by the Systematic Clustering Analysis method. After the flood control calculation, the limited water level of Hongze Lake in the later flood season can be raised from 12.5 m to 13.0 m, and the capacity of reservoir storage can increase to 696 million m3. The limited water level of Luoma Lake can be raised from 22.5 m to 23.0 m (16 August to 10 September), 23.5 m (11 September to 30 September), and the capacity of reservoir storage can increase from 150 to 300 million m3. Finally, establishing the floodwater resource optimization model of the lake group with the goals of maximizing the floodwater transfer amount and minimizing the flood control risk rate, the optimal water allocation scheme is obtained through the optimization algorithm.
Highlights
The spatial and temporal distribution of water resources in China are very different, and decrease from southeast to northwest
The period of the main flood season is the period of high flood occurrence in the basin with abundant incoming water, which mainly meets the requirements of flood control; in the later flood season, the flood control pressure will be reduced to a certain extent, so it is considered to gradually raise the flood limit water level to ensure that the reservoir can be full at the end of the flood season

Summary
The spatial and temporal distribution of water resources in China are very different, and decrease from southeast to northwest. In order to alleviate the shortage of water resources in North China, a series of inter basin water transfer projects should be put into operation. The utilization of flood resources mainly focuses on improving the limited water level of flood control during flood season by using the existing water conservancy projects combined with the rainfall runoff forecast and other non-engineering measures [12], and realizing the utilization of flood resources through the risk and benefit management of the reservoir [13]. Due to the large amount of available flood resources in Hongze Lake and Luoma Lake, it is the key to adopt the optimal scheduling scheme to reduce the flood control risk on the basis of appropriately increasing the flood limit water level. The optimal scheme is determined by a comprehensive benefit calculation
