Abstract

Northwest Beijing has frequently suffered from flooding in recent years, and the existing artificial aqueduct system has certain limitations in flood prevention effect. Especially when heavy rainfall comes, the precipitation often exceeds the carrying capacity of the existing drainage system, leading to serious waterlogging and flooding disasters. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the optimization measures of aqueduct design and management. Based on the field study, this paper analyzes the deficiencies of the aqueduct system in the region in response to extreme weather events and proposes a plan to improve the system's diversion and flood control capacity through design optimization, intelligent monitoring and early warning, and natural ecological management from multiple perspectives. This paper shows that insufficient redundancy in aqueduct design and poor maintenance are the main challenges, while intelligent management and public participation mechanisms can help improve the system's responsiveness and adaptability. This study provides new ideas for the design of urban hydraulic projects, especially to cope with floods, mudslides and other disasters caused by climate change.
