Abstract:The upper reaches of the Huangpu River are an important flood discharge channel in the Taihu Lake Basin, and the embankments on both sides of the river play a key role in ensuring the safety of lives and property of the people. However, due to the long shoreline, aging facilities, many hidden danger points and scattered management responsibilities, the standardized management of embankments faces great challenges. Through a comprehensive investigation of the current situation of embankments, the problems existing in the current standardized management, such as the imperfect standard system, the weak facilities of some embankments and the insufficient level of intelligence are analyzed, and the comprehensive countermeasures are proposed, including strengthening the organizational guarantees, improving the standard system, conducting the specialized training, standardizing the management behaviors, and leveraging the digital technologies to empower management so as to provide reference for improving the standardized management level of embankments and ensuring the effectiveness of flood control and disaster reduction.
