DHI has been contracted to deliver a Real Time Decision Support System for the Wanjiazhai Yellow River Diversion Project, a large-scale inter-basin water diversion project located in the northwest Shanxi Province of the People's Republic of China. The project is one of many strategic measures to alleviate water shortage problems in the area, particularly for the three cities of Taiyuan, Datong and Shuozhou.
The WYRDP covers more than 450 km of water conveyance system (combined pressurized and open channels) and includes 5 large pumping stations which total over 500m lift at the design discharge of 48m3/s. DHI's MOUSE model has been applied as an application running in real time to provide short-term security checking and also to develop long-term optimal operational strategies to the entire conveyance system to minimise electricity consumption. DHI's services also cover the training environment and DIMS database storage and analysis system to generate reports of suspected leakages and sedimentation issues as well as standard hydraulic reports.
