Optimal Design of Wetland Ecological Water in the Shuangtaizi Estuary, Panjin

摘要

The protection and utilization of wetland have been more and more important. According to measured water levels, discharge and cross-sections of the Shuangtaizi River network, this paper builds a hydrodynamic model to simulate water and salt movement based on the Mikell. The model was calibrated and validated by measured water levels of July, 2009. A series of irrigation scheme for the reed field were designed according to the hydrological characteristics of the wetland. The results show that volume of water shortage is 65.1 million cubic meters in dry years, 4.2 million cubic meters in average years and 40.5 million cubic meters in wet years. With the expansion of water facilities, the water shortage reduced to 30.6 million cubic meters, 16.3 million cubic meters and 17.4 million cubic meters respectively in dry years, average years and wet years. In wet years and average years, salinity of tidal prism water can satisfy the requirements of irrigation. However, due to high tide salinity in dry years, irrigation can not be directly used for the reed field.
