Abstract:The Wenyu River and Chaobai River Distributary Project is a “middle dredging” link in the overall composition pattern of the “Tongzhou Weir” flood control system, which will achieve the connection of two watershed systems of Wenyu River and Chaobai River, and can divert the flood of Wenyu River to Chaobai River in advance during the flood season so as to reduce the flooding pressure on the downstream North Canal and ensure the flood control safety of the sub center of Beijing City. By introducing and sorting out the construction pattern of the Wenyu River and Chaobai River Distributary Project and the Beijing “Tongzhou Weir” flood control system, the new ideas for modern flood control engineering construction planning are analyzed and expanded, and the measures and suggestions including flood control planning, early warning system, flood control plan and publicity are proposed in order to provide the reference for the urban flood control work in the future.
