Future flooding: China - Taihu Basin

The China/UK scientific cooperation project on flood risk management in the Taihu Basin has made significant progress in understanding and modeling future flood risks due to climate change, socio-economic development, and flood defense systems.

The project used the Source-Hazards-Capacities-Receptor (SHCR) model instead of the Source-Pathway-Receptor model to analyze flood risk drivers and responses. It verified the capacity of the PRECIS regional climate model, developed a VIC hydrological model, derived socio-economic scenarios, created a flood damage assessment model, and built a broad-scale hydraulic model using the ISIS software.

The project has developed a broad-scale, long-term 'end-to-end' modeling system for flood scenario analysis in the Taihu Basin. It has integrated climate change scenarios, hydrological and hydraulic models, socio-economic scenarios, flood damage assessment models, and a GIS-based risk analysis system. The project has also trained professionals and established a foundation for future work.
