Rising Tidal River Levels to Impact Future Flood Prevention Strategies.

Tropical Geography
A PRELIMIARY STUDY OF FREQUENCY ANALYSIS METHOD FOR WATER LEVEL OF TIDAL RIVERS IN THE PEARL RIVER DELTA
Jun Chen

Paper Summary

The study looked at water levels in a river in the Pearl River Delta and found that they are rising by 7 971mm per year. A new method was developed to predict future water levels, showing that they will increase by 0.24m to 0.40m by 2030 and 2050 compared to traditional methods. It is recommended to adjust flood prevention measures based on this rising trend.
