l METHOD FOR CONFIGURING SLOPE REGULATION AND STORAGE MEASURES BASED ON FLOOD REGULATION AND STORAGE CAPACITY AND WATER CONSUMPTION CONTROL TECHNICAL FIELD [OOOl]The present disclosure relates to the technical field of hydraulic engineering, and especially relates to the technical fields of flood regulation and storage and water conservation. Specifically, the present disclosure provides a method for optimized configuration of slope regulation and storage measures based on a balance between flood regulation and storage capacity improvement and slope water consumption control. BACKGROUND [OOOZ]The ecological engineering prevention and control has gradually become a significant action for addressing flood disasters in river basins. The scientific configuration of regulation and storage measures during a rainfallrunoff generation process on a slope is a key for the ecological engineering prevention and control. Under extreme precipitation, slope regulation and storage measures such as forest and grass vegetation projects and natural restoration projectsaffecttherunoffgeneration,sedimentyield,andsoil moisture on slopes. On the one hand, the slope regulation and storage measures can attenuate the flood peak, prolong the flood duration, and mitigate the flood damage. On the other hand, the arrangement of vegetation construction measures on slopes will cause specified water consumption and reduce the runoffs entering river channels. The scientific configuration of slope regulation and storage measures is crucial for balancing flood control / mitigation and slope water generation / consumption. Currently, most of the relevant studiesfocusontheinfluenceofindexessuchasslopegradient andvegetationcoveragedegraaonthesinglegoalssuchasslope flood regulation and storage capacity or slope water consumption. However, there are few studies on the changes in coupling between flood regulation and storage capacity and water consumption for slopes under extreme precipitation. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for optimized configuration based.on a balance between flood regulation and storage capacity improvement and slope water consumption control, so as to achieve the reasonable allocation of flood control / mitigation and water resources for river basins.

[0053] 523. Based on a maximum flood regulation and storage capacity and a minimum slope water consumption for multiobjective optimized configuration of the slope regulation and storage measures, a multiobjective function was transformed into a singleobjective function with a comprehensive benefit index as a target. A maximum value of CEi was calculated through a tradeoff relationship between flood regulation and storage and slope water consumption. A corresponding slope gradient and coverage degree were optimal solutions.

[0054] (a) A flood regulation and storage capacitgiof the slope regulation and storage measures was determined with a maximum floodregulationandstoragecapacityincludimganaximmnwater storage ratio and aInaximum flood peak attenuation rate in the control unit as a first criterion.

[0055] (b) Flood regulation and storage capacity and water consumption control data of the slope regulation and storage measures was integrated to establish the comprehensive benefit index. According to the comprehensive benefit index, an optimal slope gradient and vegetation coverage degree were determined. Based on a threshold of a total slope regulation and storage capacity in the control unit (which was determined by formulas (1) to (4) ) , secondary configuration was conducted to determine a zoning and classification optimization solution.

[0062] S4.

The target was the comprehensive benefit index for the slope regulation and storage measures.

Each individual in the initial population represented.a potential solution.Theindividualinthepresentdisclosurewasprovided with a slope gradient and a vegetation coverage degree. Each individualwasrepresentedbyeachromosome(itcouldbeeabinary, a.real number, or another data structure, andeuïinitialization mode could. be random. generation or specific rulebased generation). 2) fitness evaluation: The fitness of each individual was calculated to determine a quality of each individual. The performance of each individual was evaluated with a fitness function according to a target of a problem. An individual with a high fitness to the target of the problem representecla highquality solution. The target of the problem in the present disclosure was the comprehensive benefit index for the slope regulation and storage measures. 3) Selection: Based on fitness values, a plurality of individuals were selected.fron1a current population as parents for breeding of offspring (common selection methods included roulette wheel selection, tournament.selection, rankbased.selection, etc.). 4) Crossover: The selected parents were combined through crossover operations (also known as recombination) to produce new offspring individuals (this usually involved the exchange éipart.oftuagenetic information <æfchromosomes oftuaparents to mimic the gene recombination in biogenetics). 5) Mutation: Mutation operations were conducted for the offspring individuals. Gene values were randomly' modified. at some chromosomal positions for simulating mutation processes in biological evolution to ensure a diversity of a population. 6) Replacement: Individuals in the original population (parents) were replaced with the new individuals (offspring) to produce a newgeneration. population (there were many replacement strategies, including complete replacement and partial replacement). 7) Repetition: The evaluation, the selection, the crossover, and.the1nutation.were repeatecìuntil a termination condition was met. The termination condition in the present disclosure was that the number of iterations was maximized.

[0064] 85. Whether a number of iterations was maximized was determined. If the number of iterations was maximized, an iteration was terminated, and data was output to produce a slope gradient and a coverage degree corresponding to the optimal comprehensive benefit of the slope regulation and storage measures, such.that a computation.was completed If the number of iterations was not maximized, it returned to the S4, and the computation was restarted. With a comprehensive benefit of the slope regulation and storage measures as a final index, a.Pi River basin_was optimized with the method in this example. Optimization results were as follows: a slope gradient: 28°C, and a vegetation coverage degree: 60%.

[0065] The above description.is proposed merely as a technical solution that can be implemented by the present disclosure, and does not serve as a single restriction on the technical solution itself.
