Under climate change and pressure from human activities, extreme flood events are becoming a significant concern. The study involves setting up a coupled hydroclimate-hydrodynamic models over the Ganga River Basin by coupling the CORDEX regional climate models to the physically based Soil Water Assessment Tool-based hydrological model and MIKE 21C-based hydrodynamic model. The coupled model was employed to explore the flood inundation and dynamics of sediment mobilization amid various extreme events under future conditions. The water level, particularly for the 40-year return period for the late century (2061–2100), is estimated to rise in the future (0.9–1.2m). Since extreme streamflow has increased in the future, morphological transformations will also aggravate. Moreover, during the extreme events, the peaks in shear stress and velocity profile distribution have a propensity to coincide with the areas of the meander bend, implying that the river meander processes govern the shifts in the dynamics of the sediment transport. Additionally, the developed model framework has been employed to determine the areas affected and inundation pattern due to the 18 August 2008 flood in the Kosi River due to the embankment breach. Simulation exhibited that there is a good agreement between the simulated and observed inundation areas. Together with the evaluation of the susceptibility corresponding to lives and livelihoods, this information may facilitate decision-makers to develop ameliorative policies and adopt meaningful measures to alleviate the impacts.

气候和土地利用变化对恒河流域水动力和泥沙输移机制的影响

在气候变化和人类活动压力下,极端洪水事件正成为人们关注的焦点。该研究涉及通过将 CORDEX 区域气候模型与基于物理的土壤水评估工具的水文模型和基于 MIKE 21C 的水动力模型相结合,在恒河流域建立耦合的水文气候-水动力模型。耦合模型用于探索未来条件下各种极端事件中的洪水淹没和沉积物动员动力学。水位,特别是世纪后期(2061-2100)的40年重现期,预计未来将上升(0.9-1.2m)。由于未来极端水流增加,形态变化也将加剧。此外,在极端事件期间,剪切应力和速度剖面分布的峰值倾向于与曲流弯的区域重合,这意味着河流曲流过程控制着沉积物运输动力学的变化。此外,已开发的模型框架已被用于确定 2008 年 8 月 18 日因堤防破坏导致科西河洪水的影响区域和淹没模式。模拟表明,模拟和观察到的淹没区域之间存在良好的一致性。连同对与生命和生计相对应的易感性的评估,这些信息可以促进决策者制定改善政策并采取有意义的措施来减轻影响。这意味着河流曲流过程控制着沉积物运输动力学的变化。此外,已开发的模型框架已被用于确定 2008 年 8 月 18 日因堤防破坏导致科西河洪水的影响区域和淹没模式。模拟表明,模拟和观察到的淹没区域之间存在良好的一致性。连同对与生命和生计相对应的易感性的评估,这些信息可以促进决策者制定改善政策并采取有意义的措施来减轻影响。这意味着河流曲流过程控制着沉积物运输动力学的变化。此外,已开发的模型框架已被用于确定 2008 年 8 月 18 日因堤防破坏导致科西河洪水的影响区域和淹没模式。模拟表明,模拟和观察到的淹没区域之间存在良好的一致性。连同对与生命和生计相对应的易感性的评估,这些信息可以促进决策者制定改善政策并采取有意义的措施来减轻影响。已开发的模型框架已被用于确定 2008 年 8 月 18 日因堤防破坏导致科西河洪水的影响区域和淹没模式。模拟表明,模拟和观察到的淹没区域之间存在良好的一致性。连同对与生命和生计相对应的易感性的评估,这些信息可能有助于决策者制定改善政策并采取有意义的措施来减轻影响。已开发的模型框架已被用于确定 2008 年 8 月 18 日因堤防破坏导致科西河洪水的影响区域和淹没模式。模拟表明,模拟和观察到的淹没区域之间存在良好的一致性。连同对与生命和生计相对应的易感性的评估,这些信息可以促进决策者制定改善政策并采取有意义的措施来减轻影响。
