A blind ditch fine design method based on GIS
By automatically identifying the ditch network through the GIS hydrological analysis module and combining it with measured flow data, the problem of relying on manual experience in traditional blind ditch design has been solved. This has enabled more refined blind ditch design and accurate calculation of engineering quantities, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of the drainage system.

AI Technical Summary
Traditional blind drain design methods rely on manual experience, resulting in blind drain layouts that deviate from actual hydrological channels, low drainage efficiency, distorted engineering quantity calculations, and a lack of scientific quantitative support, making it difficult to meet the refined design requirements of modern engineering.
A GIS-based refined design method for blind drains is adopted, which combines the hydrological analysis module of the geographic information system to automatically identify the ditch network, calculate the length of blind drains through DEM, and perform accurate flow estimation and segmented design based on measured flow data, thereby realizing the automated output of engineering quantities.
It improves the scientific and precise design of blind drains, ensures the rational layout of drainage systems, reduces engineering cost deviations, and enhances engineering safety and long-term stability.
