Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of base flow process simulation, and particularly relates to a base flow simulation method based on a multiple linear regression model. BACKGROUND
[0002] Base flow is one of the important components of runoff, and the runoff during no rainfall is mainly supplied by base flow, which is crucial for river ecosystems and human water use. As the main source of runoff during dry season, base flow is closely related to the basic ecological maintenance of the basin, water quality, and domestic water supply. At the same time, the base flow process is also an important part of the water cycle in the basin, which participates in the water exchange process between surface runoff, unsaturated aquifer and groundwater. Base flow is mainly controlled by soil hydraulic parameters (i.e. river and aquifer conditions), precipitation and soil, land use characteristics, land use intensity and surface slope and other related factors. Understanding the contribution of base flow to runoff is crucial for studying the characteristics of runoff and water resources allocation in the basin. Under the condition that the basic hydrological data is met, using various base flow calculation methods, mastering and analyzing the base flow process of the basin can benefit the stable water source and ecological environment protection of the basin. Therefore, how to ensure the accuracy of the base flow process segmentation result through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation is a hot and difficult problem in the field of hydrology.
[0003] At present, for basins with different geomorphic characteristics and climate conditions, scholars have proposed different base flow segmentation methods. Traditionally, base flow segmentation methods mainly include numerical simulation method, graphical method, analytical method, isotope method and hydrological model method. Each base flow segmentation method has its own characteristics, but there is a common phenomenon of overestimation or underestimation, and it cannot accurately simulate the base flow process path. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the technical deficiencies of the existing base flow simulation, the purpose of the present application is to provide a base flow simulation method based on a multiple linear regression model, so as to solve the overestimation or underestimation phenomenon of each base flow simulation result, reduce the uncertainty of base flow simulation, and thereby improve the simulation accuracy of base flow.
[0005] To achieve the above goal, a base flow simulation method based on a multiple linear regression model comprises the following steps:
[0006] A base flow simulation method based on a multiple linear regression model, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
[0007] S1) obtaining historical runoff data, rainfall daily scale data and catchment area of each hydrological station of the basin;
[0008] S2) based on the runoff data and catchment area data obtained in S1), using multiple base flow segmentation methods to obtain different base flow total flow data;
[0009] S3) Using the data obtained in S2), multiple baseflow indices (BFIs) are simulated using various baseflow segmentation methods, and the average value of the baseflow indices is calculated. S4) Based on the data obtained in S3, simulated data is obtained using a multiple linear regression model. The base flow process is constructed using this simulated data, and a simulated base flow process curve is formed.
[0010] In addition, the following steps are also included:
[0011] S5) Based on the measured rainfall sequence data and historical runoff data obtained in S1), the actual baseflow process curve is obtained; in S5), the measured rainfall sequence data and historical runoff data are selected based on the principle that if there are no rainfall records for 15 consecutive days before a certain date, the runoff corresponding to that date is approximately equal to the baseflow. The runoff data is selected based on this principle, and the baseflow verification data is obtained.
[0012] S6) Compare the baseflow process curves obtained in S4) and S5) to determine the fitting accuracy and goodness of fit. The method for determining the fitting accuracy and goodness of fit in S6) is as follows: Use the Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency coefficient (NSE) and the Percent bias (Pbias) to evaluate each baseflow simulation value. The range of NSE is from negative infinity to 1. When it is close to 1, the higher the quality of the simulation is considered. The closer Pbias is to 0, the better the performance of the simulation is considered.
[0013] Prioritize the baseflow index BFI and the average baseflow index in S3). The calculation formula is as follows:
[0014]
[0015] In the formula, V B V represents the total base flow rate within the specified time period. S The total runoff volume within the time period, BFI1, BFI2, ..., BFI n These are the baseflow index values simulated by n methods, where n is the number of baseflow segmentation methods, and the BFI value is between 0 and 1.
[0016] Prior to this, the construction method of the Multiple Linear Regression Model (MLRM) in S4 is as follows:
[0017] BF MLRM = a1BF1 + a2BF2 + ... + a n BF n
[0018]
[0019] BF = a BF + b BF + c BF + d BF + e BF + f BF + g BF + h BF + i BF + j BF + k BF + l BF + m BF + n BF + o BF + p BF + q BF + r BF + s BF + t BF + u BF + v BF + w BF + x BF + y BF + z BF MLRM BF = a BF + b BF + c BF + d BF + e BF + f BF + g BF + h BF + i BF + j BF + k BF + l BF + m BF + n BF + o BF + p BF + q BF + r BF + s BF + t BF + u BF + v BF + w BF + x BF + y BF + z BF n BF = a BF + b BF + c BF + d BF + e BF + f BF + g BF + h BF + i BF + j BF + k BF + l BF + m BF + n BF + o BF + p BF + q BF + r BF + s BF + t BF + u BF + v BF + w BF + x BF + y BF + z BF n BF = a BF + b BF + c BF + d BF + e BF + f BF + g BF + h BF + i BF + j BF + k BF + l BF + m BF + n BF + o BF + p BF + q BF + r BF + s BF + t BF + u BF + v BF + w BF + x BF + y BF + z BF n BF = a BF + b BF + c BF + d BF + e BF + f BF + g BF + h BF + i BF + j BF + k BF + l BF + m BF + n BF + o BF + p BF + q BF + r BF + s BF + t BF + u BF + v BF + w BF + x BF + y BF + z BF
[0020] Preferably, the S2 base flow separation method is the HYSEP method, the one-parameter digital filter method or the recursive digital filter method.
[0021] By using the above technical means, the application has the following advantages: 1) the application is based on three widely used base flow separation methods, uses a multiple linear regression model to establish a new base flow simulation method and process, reduces the uncertainty of base flow simulation, and thus improves the simulation accuracy of base flow; 2) the base flow simulation method established by the application can improve the universality of the base flow simulation method without being affected by the differences in hydro-meteorological conditions and underlying surface conditions of a basin; and 3) the runoff corresponding to the consecutive 15-day date without rainfall record defined by the application is equal to the base flow, which makes up for the lack of measured base flow values in the base flow simulation evaluation.

[0027] The technical solutions of the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In order to highlight the advantages of the application, the three widely used base flow separation methods, namely the HYSEP method, the one-parameter digital filter method (OPDF) and the recursive digital filter method (RDF), are used as cases for specific implementation.
[0028] As Figure 1As shown, a base flow simulation method based on a multiple linear regression model of the application comprises the following steps:
[0029] S1) Data collection: Collecting measured daily runoff data, daily rainfall data and rainfall area data of hydrological stations in a certain basin from 1981 to 1995.
[0030] S2) Base flow segmentation: Using three widely used base flow segmentation methods, HYSEP, OneParameter Digital Filter (OPDF) and Recursive Digital Filter (RDF), to obtain different base flow total data.
[0031] S3) Model construction: First, calculate the base flow indices BFI of each base flow simulation value obtained by the above three methods, which are 0.393, 0.41 and 0.418 for hydrological station 1, and 0.464, 0.483 and 0.484 for hydrological station 2; second, calculate the average value of the base flow indices of the two hydrological stations The results are 0.407 and 0.477, respectively.
[0032] Finally, establish a Multiple Linear Regression Model (MLRM) with the following construction method:
[0033] BF MLRM = a1BF HYSEP +a2BF OPDF +a3BF3
[0034]
[0035]
[0036]
[0037] According to the calculation, the coefficients of the three linear regression models of the two hydrological stations are 0.5, 0.11, 0.39 and 0.5, 0.05, 0.45, respectively. Therefore, the base flow simulation model established is divided into: 0.5BF HYSEP +0.11BF OPDF +0.39BF3 and 0.5BF HYSEP +0.05BF OPDF +0.45BF3.
[0038] S4) Model verification: The baseflow of two hydrological sites was simulated by the linear regression model established in the above steps, and the runoff corresponding to the date of no rainfall record in the previous 15 days was defined as the baseflow according to the measured rainfall sequence data, and the discontinuous baseflow sequence obtained was taken as the baseflow verification value and the simulation value for comparison. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The baseflow simulated by the MLRM used in the application is better than the results of the other three baseflow separation methods in terms of Nash efficiency coefficient and percentage bias (Pbias). In particular, when MLRM is applied to hydrological site 1, NSE reaches more than 0.7, and Pbias is about -13%, and when MLRM is applied to hydrological site 1, NSE reaches more than 0.8, and Pbias is about -5%. The simulation evaluation value of MLRM is much better than that of the other three simulation methods.
[0039] Figure 4 and Figure 5 The runoff and baseflow hydrograph of two hydrological sites in a certain period are illustrated, and it can be seen from the figure that the baseflow process simulated by MLRM can well capture the peak and valley changes of baseflow, and its value is between the simulation values of the three methods, which well makes up for the overestimation or underestimation phenomenon of each baseflow separation method, and greatly reduces the uncertainty of baseflow simulation.
[0040] The above only describes the example implementation of the application and is not used to limit the application. The number of baseflow separation methods in the application can also be specifically customized according to different research areas. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the scope of the claims of the application should be within the protection scope of the application.
