The article compares different layout schemes for the Shiqiao River Diversion Junction in a water diversion project from the Yangtze River to the Hanjiang River. The researchers analyzed water conveyance conditions and investments to select the best scheme, which includes an upstream regulation sluice, inverted siphon, road on the left bank, and a wharf. This chosen scheme has fewer structures, is easier to operate and manage, and requires less investment compared to other options.
