Abstract: The Funchun River lies in the middle reach of the Qiantang River of Zhejiang Province. Along the Fuchun river no other county town is bigger than Tonglu and Fuyang. Since the two towns are located in the river valley plain along the Fuchun river, they are affected by the plum rain and typhoon rain every year. According to the characteristics of the geographical location, topographic conditions and the features of hydrology and meteorology, the strategy of “keeping out the flood from the Fuchun river, draining off the water-logging in the area and diverting torrential flood” will be adopted to improve the cities’flood control capacity. That is to say, flood control dikes along the river will be heightened and reinforced, at the same time, by the principle of “Upstream flood is discharged directly in local higher channels”, the torrential flood flowing into the city area can be avoided, furthermore, through widening and deeping of channels, the regulation capacity will be raised. Besides, since the two cities are located along the elegant Fuchun river, the influences of the project on the landscape must be considered.
