Abstract: Reservoirs play a vital role in flood prevention and disaster relief in China. The objective of the study is to establish reservoir flood control system, to design and develop corresponding application software. This paper introduces the current reservoir flood control and operation practice in China. Using modern programs and integration technologies, an application software for reservoir flood control system has been developed. The structure of the system and main functions, data acquisition and processing, hydrological database, flood forecasting, reservoir control components are described. The software working environment, key technologies, normalization and standardization design is emphasized. After having successfully applied to 52 reservoirs in China, the software proved to be advanced, suitable, reliable and user-friendly. The software provides the technical support and service for flood forecasting and flood dispatch decision and enhances the reservoir operation and management level. The future research direction and software’s function extension is also discussed.
