Flooding Hazards across Southern China and Prospective Sustainability Measures

Abstract: The Yangtze River Basin and Huaihe River Basin in Southern China experienced severe floods 1998 and 2016. The reasons for the flooding hazards include the following two factors: hazardous weather conditions and degradation of the hydrological environment due to anthropogenic activities. This review work investigated the weather conditions based on recorded data, which showed that both 1998 and 2016 were in El Nino periods. Human activities include the degradations of rivers and lakes and the effects caused by … Show more

“…Based on the judgment matrix, the weight of each factor can be calculated. According to Saaty [19][20][21], if the value of consistent ratio (CR) is less than 0.1, the judgment matrix is reasonable; if the value of CR is greater than 0.1, then the judgment matrix is unreasonable and must be re-determined. The detailed calculation process of the weight and CR is listed in the Appendix A.…”

“…In China, Zheng et al [14] show that the increased rate of urbanization since the economic reform in 1978 has coincided with a steady increase in large flood events. The 2016 floods impacted 26 southern provinces in China, with estimated losses in excess of USD 500 billion [15]. In July 2012, the Fangshan District of Beijing experienced 460 mm of rainfall in 24 hours, three times the daily average, which caused over USD 1.86 billion of damage and impacted 1.6 million people [16].…”
