This invention discloses a method for detecting extreme hydrological events in a
watershed and determining changes in hydrodynamic conditions, belonging to the field of water conservancy
engineering technology. The specific steps include: S1, calculating the annual runoff distribution difference coefficient and characteristic flow process; S2, screening extreme flood and extreme drought events, i.e., extreme flood condition: selecting the annual maximum flow Q from the historical sequence. max The first 1% quantile value; extreme drought conditions: selecting the minimum value of the runoff distribution difference coefficient λ to characterize the minimal difference in
water volume between the
flood season and the non-
flood season; S3, determining typical hydrological events by analyzing the relationship between characteristic flow and
annual average flow; S4, analyzing the
water depth-flow relationship and classifying extreme flood types; S5, deriving the physical formula of the
water depth-flow relationship; S6, analyzing and verifying the differences in hydrodynamic conditions for extreme floods. This invention can solve the problems of insufficient sensitivity of traditional methods to short-duration extreme hydrological events and the lack of quantitative analysis of hydrodynamic mechanisms under
extreme events.
