The Hydrodynamic Impact of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project on the Lower-reach Lake of Nansi Lake

Abstract

In order to study the changes in hydrodynamic characteristics of the lower-reach lake of Nansi Lake, this paper established a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the lower-reach lake of Nansi Lake based on topography, like rainfall, evaporation, and wind field of the lower-reach lake of Nansi Lake, and carried out water level verification, which is representative and can reflect the process of water level and flow velocity changes of the lower-reach lake of Nansi Lake before and after the South-to-North Water Transfer. The model results show that, before the Nansi Lake was connected to water, the lake area of Zhaoyang Lake in the north was long and narrow and the water level was high. The overall flow velocity of Weishan Lake was low, and the stagnant water area and low flow velocity area accounted for a large proportion. After the opening of the southern four lakes, the high-water level area is concentrated in the wide Weishan Lake area, the water level in the Zhaoyang Lake area is reduced, and the changes between different water level gradients tend to be gentler, and the mobility of the water body is greatly improved.
