Objectives
The national "14th Five-Year Plan" puts forth a clear directive to build an intelligent water conservancy system, with a focus on watershed-based enhancement of water situation monitoring and intelligent scheduling capabilities. Guided by this plan, Shandong Province has invested 250 million yuan in the development of the Xiaoqinghe digital twin watershed, with the objective of exploring the construction of a watershed intelligent water conservancy system that encompasses forecasting, early warning, simulation, and contingency planning functionalities.
Conclusions
The construction of the Xiaoqinghe digital twin watershed encounters several challenges, including difficulties in engineering digitization, integration of data across multiple industries, accuracy of watershed flood forecasting, and the complexity of organizing and implementing integration. In order to advance the development of digital twin watershed projects, the article proposes recommendations to support the project owners and contractors involved in the pioneering construction of digital twin watersheds. By analyzing the key technologies and challenges of the Xiaoqinghe digital twin watershed, the aim is to explore better solutions for digital twin watershed development.
