Aiming at the current situation of huge volume of diverse water projects,complex and diffi cult forecasting andscheduling tasks,and insufficient informatization of water resources management in Hanjiang River,this study selectsHanjiang River basin as a pilot project for digital twin construction,focusing on fl ood control and demand of water resourcesmanagement and allocation,carrying out the development of digital twin platform and “four pre” functions of forecast,early warning,rehearsal and plan. At present,the digital twin of Hanjiang River basin has initially built a basin data base,a unifi ed universal model platform,and a micro services-based knowledge platform,integrating professional models andknowledge mapping with applications. Based on key technologies such as database of joint scheduling rules for waterprojects,reservoir scheduling method optimization based on water level target control,and fl ood control and scheduling knowledge graph in fl ood storage space,smart applications thus can be established,including fl ood control and scheduling,as well as water resources management and allocation . Relevant technical achievements have been formed in visualizationtechnology,twinning platform,and knowledge map,which can provide support reference for other digital twin construction.
