Flood modeling reveals high risk of devastating floods in vulnerable region
The study focused on assessing flood risks in the Cinan Feizuo flood protection area in the Huaihe River basin. The researchers used advanced models to understand flood dynamics and predict potential damage. They found that the area is at high risk of flooding, especially during 50- and 100-year flood events. The 100-year flood could cause more damage than the 50-year flood, with water levels rising quickly and inundating a large area. This information can help with planning and decision-making to reduce the impact of floods in the region.
