摘要

Abstract

The heavy floods in the Taihu Basin showed increasing trend in recent years. In this work

a typical area in the northern Taihu Basin was selected for flood risk analysis and potential flood losses assessment. Human activities have strong impact on the study area's flood situation (as affected by the polders built

deforestation

population increase

urbanization

etc.)

and have made water level higher

flood duration shorter

and flood peaks sharper. Five years of different flood return periods [(1970)

5 (1962)

10 (1987)

20 (1954)

50 (1991)] were used to calculate the potential flood risk area and its losses. The potential flood risk map

economic losses

and flood-impacted population were also calculated. The study's main conclusions are: 1) Human activities have strongly changed the natural flood situation in the study area

increasing runoff and flooding; 2) The flood risk area is closely related with the precipitation center; 3) Polder construction has successfully protected land from flood

shortened the flood duration

and elevated water level in rivers outside the polders; 4) Economic and social development have caused flood losses to increase in recent years.
