Abstract The
South-to-North Water Transfer Project (SNWTP) is a strategic measure to relieve
water shortage in North China, with three routes to divert water from the Yangtze
River basin; the East Route (ER) is one of them. To analyse reasonable water
allocation and create a platform to assess comprehensively the impact of the
ER on water-receiving areas, a rules-based water allocation simulation model
(ROWAS) designed by object-oriented technology (OOT), is applied to simulate
the possible effect of this water carrier project with consideration of
interaction between local and diverted water. Through ROWAS, the scheme of water
supply is defined and the diversion needs from a specific segment of the ER can
be estimated. The hydraulic model, Res-Sim of HEC, is adopted to simulate the
hydraulic process to check the feasibility of water allocation from the gates
of the main channel. Based on this methodology, scenarios with and without ER
are compared and analysed.
