Water System Operation and Digital Twin

Convenors: Xiaohui Lei, Chao Wang, Siyu Cai

The water system covers the whole water cycle in both nature and human settlements. Specifically, it is referred to as basins and trans-basin water systems. For all the water system operations, what we do is to provide an optimal management of water resources. Therefore, how to rely on the accurate operation of water projects and adopt new technologies and integrated modeling platforms to build a complex water resource scheduling technology aiming at five major water security issues in water systems, such as flood control, water supply, water ecology, water environment and water project safety, is the core technical problem of current water system operations. We welcome presentations on digital twin development of different complexities and maturity levels for diverse water systems (river, basin, urban, water diversion project). Moreover, we welcome presentations on applications that integrate hydrological processes in natural and human settlements for improved integrated water management using digital solutions.
