Flood and Drought Emergency Management
This chapter documents and assesses the lessons learned from the management responses associated with case studies on a flood event, the Huai River in 2007, and a drought event, in south‐west China in 2010. Because of the rainfall, the Huai River mainstream had multiple flood peaks. The water level of the Huai River was more than the warning water level for a total of 20‐30days. The characteristics of the flood in the Huai River basin, include: the main and tributary floods occurred simultaneously, the combination of flood encountered, and obvious backwater effect in the middle reach. After the floods of 2007, the experience and lessons were seriously considered in the Huai River basin leading to the completion of a series of flood control regulations and planning decisions. The basic water supply for the people in the drought‐affected areas was ensured through reservoir water supply, emergency water transfer, well water intake, and groundwater pumping.
