Abstract

Use of numerical simulation of the tidal flow of the Changjiang River Estuary and the Huangpu River to forecast flood in the Taihu Lake lower reach drainage system for the case of future sea level rise of 0.4 m and 0.8 m, and floods preventing and reducing methods are discussed in this paper.

Key words  Taihu Lake lower reach depressions - sea level rise - mathematical model of tidal current
