Analysis of rainfall abundance and drought occurrence and probability of flood and drought occurrence in Yellow River Basin based on Copula function family
Study region: The Yellow River Basin, China. Study focus: Using Copula joint distribution models, this study delves into the analysis of wetness-dryness encounters and their evolving patterns in the all three reaches. The research specifically explores the probability of asynchronous and synchronous wetness-dryness encounters, providing valuable insights into the hydrological dynamics of the region. Additionally, the study constructs and simulates a Bayesian network model for flood and drought management based on the observed wetness-dryness patterns. New hydrological insights for the region: The findings of this study reveal several noteworthy insights. Firstly, there is no significant trend in rainfall in the all three reaches, but periodic cycles of 5 years, 4 years, and 16 years are identified. Secondly, the probability of asynchronous wetness-dryness encounters is higher than synchronous encounters, with annual asynchronous probabilities of 54.46 %, 80.65 %, and 62.9 % in the upper, middle, and lower reaches, respectively. Thirdly, the overall probability of synchronous wetness-dryness encounters is relatively low, with concurrent dryness having the highest probability. Lastly, the study indicates an overall 50 % probability of floods and droughts in the Yellow River. The simulation results further highlight a 91 % probability of floods during wet years and an equal probability of droughts during dry years. These findings contribute to a theoretical foundation for optimizing and allocating water resources in the Yellow River Basin.
