ABSTRACT
Extreme weather frequently causes torrential rains and flooding in modern cities, e.g.,
Beijing, which are much sensitive and fragile to flooding disasters because of high population
density. In this study, we aimed to quantify the temporal and spatial distribution of extreme
precipitation in Qinghe Basin in Beijing and to develop optimal flood management thresholds by
using precipitation records from 1986 to 2014 in two sites of the region. The time that maximum
precipitation occurs in a year differed temporally and spatially and mainly concentrated in July
and August. Extreme precipitation amount covered 41.7% of total precipitation in a month
during flood season. Rain days of rainstorms were on average 1.7 d and 87% of them
concentrated in July and August and were more in upstream than that in downstream.
Precipitation intensity (SDII) during flood season was on average 11.7 mm d1 and highest (15.1
mm d1) in July. SDII during critical flood control period increased in upstream during recent 30
years and implied a high flood risk in the future. The spatial distribution of precipitation intensity
was significantly different. Our results at basin level would help city authorities designing
optimal flood control constructions, drainage facilities, and warning systems.
KEY WORDS: climate variation; flood control; precipitation intensity; rain events; urban
area
INTRODUCTION
Meteorological and secondary disasters happened frequently due to the extreme weather
under climate change in the world especially during 21 century. Under climate change, the
maximum of total precipitation and extreme rain events from 1950 to 2014 occurred in 1990s
and 2000s, and the extreme rain events would continuously increase according to the report of
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (2014). Since meteorological disasters
cause significant social and economic losses, governments, civil societies, organizations and the
public therefore pay great concern to the managements of the disasters for the alleviation of the
negative influences of climate changes.
Extreme weathers frequently cause torrential rains and flooding in modern cities, e.g. Beijing

and Shanghai, which are more sensitive and fragile to flooding disasters because of high
population density. The average annual cost of natural disasters was 200 to 400 billion Yuans
from 1949 to 1989 and gradually increased due to the climate changes. The safety of big cities,
including managements, lives and properties, is greatly threatened by seeping in streets,
rainwater intrusion into underground facilities and other damages caused by extreme
precipitation events. “Metropolis Disease” due to extreme precipitations were frequently
reported by public media. For example, a heavy rain of 170 mm in one day, with a maximum
precipitation of 541 mm in Hebeizhen in Fangshan District, attacked Beijing on July 21, 2012,
which broke a historical record of single rain station in Beijing. Nearly 600 million m3 rainwater
concentrated in a 2000 km2 area in Fangshan District during 10 hours, which equaled that the
Kunming Lake in Summer Palace was poured down once every 3 minutes. The highest rainstorm
warning grade with “Orange Degree” and “Level II” of Flood Control Emergency were
announced. The direct economic losses were as high as 11.8 billion Yuan, and 119.28 million
populations were greatly affected. Total 9.48 million people were transferred to safe regions in
emergency, and 79 people were died during this terrible event. More than 10 thousands of houses
collapsed, 940 enterprises were discontinued, and 361 kilometers embankments were damaged.
The huge losses from this extreme precipitation event were partially due to the limitation
knowledge on the relationship between extreme rain and flood occurrence in a big city.
Temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation intensity in relation to the land use types and
population density would significantly affect the alarm threshold. However, such important
studies are lagged.
Average annual rainstorm days in China showed a slight but not significant increasing trend
in the past half century (Zhi et al., 2006; Min and Qian, 2008; Feng et al., 2008; Zou et al., 2009;
Chen et al., 2010). The frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation over total rainfall events
increased in most of China, while the rainfall days tended to be decreasing, and annual rainstorm
days slightly increased with high differences in temporal and spatial distribution (Zhai et al.,
2005; Wang and Zhai, 2008). Heavy rainfall in summer reduced in the north of China (Wang and
Yan, 2009). The frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events decreased in North
China (Alexander et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2012). The frequency of precipitations during 1954 to
2006 reduced in North China; however, that of heavy rain did not too (Tu et al., 2010). The
extreme precipitation intensity and frequency of big cities in north of China were increased more
than in surrounding agricultural areas (Wang and Zhai, 2009). Although the extreme
precipitation amount, days and intensity in Beijing showed a downward trend from 1981 to 2010
(You et al. (2009), the highest precipitation intensity occurred in 2012. That implies increased
variations of precipitations in Beijing, thus, it is necessary to explore the temporal and spatial
variations of precipitations in relation to flood control based on the capability of flood discharges
at a basin level.
The objectives of this study therefore were to (a) quantify the temporal and spatial
distribution of extreme precipitations with frequency, amount and intensity in the basin of
Qinghe River in north of Beijing city, where is one of four rivers in the capital urban center with
a drainage area of 175 km2, a length of 28.7 km, an elevation range from 24.4 m to 500.3 m, and
a stream length of 23.7 km; and (b) develop an extreme precipitation threshold (index) for the
flood control of Beijing city in relation to the real basin situation, in which the hydraulic
structures and embankment of Qinghe River are 20 years of flood recurrence period. Considering
natural and social factors, the study would help to design an optimal construction of Sponge
Cities and provide scientific support to emergency warning and response activities.

Study sites
The study sites are Qinghe (40o01'N, 116o20'E) and Yangfang (40o02'N, 116o24'E) located in
north of Beijing city (Fig. 1), where are main regions for rain water collection in Qinghe basin.
Ten flood discharge gates are distributed along Qinghe river, i.e. Anhe gate, Xiaojiahe gate,
Shucun gate, Jingbao gate, Qinghe gate, Xiaqinghe gate, Yangfang gate, Waihuan gate,
Shenjiafen gate and Shaziying gate (Fig. 1). The basin lies in semi-humid continental monsoon
climate, affected by the high-pressure Mongolia with prevailing northerly winds in winter, and
by the continental thermal low-pressure system with prevailing southerly winds in summer.
Qinghe site is located at upstream of Qinghe basin in the front terrain of Jundu mountain, and the
climate is characterized as a strong air convection current, which often causes rainstorms.
Yangfang site is located at downstream of Qinghe basin and affected by urban heat island effect,
by which short and partly rainstorm often occurs. The two sites therefore could well present the
precipitation situation of studied basin.

Data source
The precipitation data of studied sites of Qinghe and Yangfang was from local
meteorological and hydrological stations. Data was recorded from 1986 to 2014. During 1986 to
2004, the precipitation data was measured by a 0.5 mm resolution manual rain gauge. During
2005 to 2014, the data was measured by a 0.1 mm resolution automatic rain gauge. All data was
manually re-checked by local hydraulic station to ensure the accuracy.
Data analysis
Extreme weather events are rare weather events in specific areas and time (Solomon et al.,
2007). Extreme weather event is defined as a weather event of a certain region when it seriously
deviates from its average. Since “abnormal weather” is relative meaning that is not same for
different regions and seasons, World Meteorological Organization Commission for Climatology
(CCI/ WMO) recommends to divide climate extremes index into two categories, one is depended

on absolute physical boundaries and another is relative extreme index, which extreme events
have statistical probability of extreme low or high values, i.e. less than 10 percentile or greater
than 90 percentile in accumulative distribution function (Wang and Wang, 2007).
Seasonal distribution of precipitations in Beijing is uneven, especially in the studied region
where the precipitations during flood season (June to September) account for 64% of the total
annual precipitations and most daily precipitations in winter (from November to January) are
zero. We therefore only focused the period of flood season (1 June to 30 September). All
calculations were done only during this period. The absolute values for categorizing extreme
precipitations were used in this study.
In order to classify precipitations into categories, i.e. middle rain, heavy rain and rainstorm,
we used absolute thresholds which are commonly used in Beijing region. We categorized a
precipitation greater than 10 mm as a middle rain, 25 mm as a heavy rain and 50 mm as a
rainstorm. The days of each rain category were calculated accordingly.
SDII defined as index of precipitation intensity is the total precipitation amount divided by
rain days.

RESULTS
Extreme precipitations
The time that maximum precipitation occurs in a year was distributed almost all within June
to September (flood season), except for an exclusion of 1997 in Yangfang (Fig. 2). The highest
frequency of the occurring time was in July, while that rarely distributed in June and September.

Comparing to a concentrated distribution of occurring times of maximum precipitation events in
Qinghe, the occurring times in June and September in Yangfang were much more, where there
were also not much maximum precipitations in these two months.
The ratios of extreme precipitation over total precipitation in June for both Qinghe and
Yangfang were slightly decreased from 1986 to 2014 (Fig. 3a), while that in July, August and
September showed increasing trends (Fig. 3b,c,d). In June, the extreme precipitations and their
variations before 1991 were much higher, comparing to a stable trend after 1991. However, the
variations of the ratio of extreme precipitation over total amount of rainfall in July during 2000
to 2014 were much higher than before 1994. That indicates an increased risk of flood in Beijing
in July.
Days of extreme precipitations
Rain days of middle precipitations (R10 mm) during flood season averaged from 1986 to
2014 were 13.1 d and 16.7% more in 1980s than the average of 1990s and 2000s in Qinghe,
while that were 13.8 d and 22.7% more in 1980s. The middle rain events mostly occurred in July
and August. Rain days of heavy precipitations (R25 mm) during flood season averaged from
1986 to 2014 were 5.2 d in Qinghe and 5.9 d in Yangfang. The 36-44% heavy rain events
concentrated in July in both sites, while it rarely happened in September. Rain days of rainstorm
(R50 mm) during flood season on average of 1986 to 2014 were 1.8 d in Qinghe and 1.6 d in
Yangfang (Table 1). Events of rainstorms concentrated in July and August with a proportion of
80% over flood season for both sites, which indicated a critical period to control the flood in
Beijing city.

From 1986 to 2014, R10 mm greatly decreased in two sites, especially in Yangfang (Fig. 4b).
R50 mm showed only a slight decrease in both sites. R25 mm had a similar decreasing trend.
The yearly variations of R50 mm were smaller than that of R10 mm and R25 mm (Fig. 4).

Precipitation intensity
SDII index, defined as an averaged precipitation intensity (mm d1) calculated by the ratio of
total precipitation amount during a period divided by rain days, was similar in two sites on
average from 1986 to 2014 during flood period, i.e. 11.8 mm d1 in Qinghe and 11.5 mm d1 in
Yangfang (Table 2). The highest SDII occurred in July with a value of 14.9 mm d1 in Qinghe
and 15.2 mm d1 in Yangfang. SDIIs in June and September were low ranged from 7.1 mm d1 to
8.6 mm d1 on average from 1986 to 2014. The highest SDII occurred in July of 1990s ranged
from 16.5 mm d1 to 18.1 mm d1 in two sites.

From 1986 to 2014, SDII showed a slight but not significant decreasing trend during flood
period in Yangfan, however SDII in Qinghe during flood period increased (Fig. 5). While SDIIs
in June and August slightly decreased in two sites, during July, which is the critical flood control
period, and September, these trends were increasing especially in Qinghe (Fig. 5b).

CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION
The time that highest precipitation occurs in a year differed temporally and spatially and
mainly concentrated in July and August. Extreme precipitation amount covered, on average for
sites and months, 41.7% of total precipitation in a month during flood season. Extreme
precipitation amount in July, August and September in Beijing increased from 1986 to 2014,
especially in July, which was consistent with Zhang et al. (2008) and You et al. (2009). That
indicates the flood risk in Beijing would increase due to the climate change or probably fast
urbanization.
Rain days of heavy precipitations during flood season on average were 5.6 d and 40% of
them concentrated in July. Rain days of rainstorm, as critical events for flood control, were on
average 1.7 d and 80% of them distributed in July and August. However, rainstorm events
showed the decreasing trends from 1986 to 2014. Rain days of rainstorms were more in upstream
of Qinghe basin than that in downstream, which were probably caused by the mountain effects.
The results were consistent with previous studies (Alexander et al., 2006; You et al., 2009; Wang
et al., 2012).
Precipitation intensity (SDII) during flood season was on average 11.7 mm d1 and highest
(15.1 mm d1) in July. The spatial distribution of precipitation intensity was significantly
different. SDII during critical flood control period (July) slightly but not significantly decreased
in downstream of Qinghe basin (Yangfan site), however, increased in upstream (Qinghe site)
during recent 30 years. It implies the flood risk of upstream would increase and discharging
pressure of whole basin further increase.
In Beijing city, the 5% extreme precipitation covers 30-38% of total amount of precipitation
and critical flood control period is from 20 July to 10 August (You et al., 2009). However, our
study showed the extreme precipitation proportioned 38-47% of total precipitation during flood
season in Qinghe basin, which was 25% higher than the average of total Beijing. The critical
flood control period based on the frequency and intensity of precipitation events was from 20
June to 16 August in Qinghe basin, which was 36 d longer than that in total Beijing.
The temporal and spatial distribution of extreme precipitation in terms of occurrence time,
days and the intensity in Beijing at a basin level would help city authorities designing an optimal
flood control constructions, drainage facilities and warning systems. Due to the increasing trend
of extreme precipitation in Qinghe basin, the standards of flood prevention and pipe drainage
adapted to the sponge city might be necessarily researched. In this study, we only focused on the
analysis of climate variation and trends, however, for a better control of flood in a huge city (e.g.
Beijing), the studies in relation to the land use changes due to city expansion, vegetation, river
flow and discharge areas should be considered to quantitatively clarify the relationship between
the rainfall and flood resources, inflow rate of a river and flood detention in outer and inner of
city.

ABSTRACT
Low impact development (LID), which aims at either infiltrating, evapotranspiring or storing
water at the source, plays an important role in managing urban rainwater. This paper summarizes
the effects of four individual LIDs (i.e., bioretention, green roof, porous pavement, and grass
swales) and several combinations of those LID practices on rainfall-runoff management. The
survey shows that both individual and combined LIDs are effective in controlling small and
medium rainfalls, and the performances are less obvious with increases of the rainfall depths.
Hence, the individual or combined LIDs applied with noticeable effects on low or moderate
rainfalls might not be useful for heavy rain events which would probably cause urban floods in
cities in China. Cities located in different regions show big differences in rainfall characteristics.
Rainfall intensity is an even more important factor than rainfall depth that influences
performances of LID practices. In the future, more studies should be directed to the effects of
LID measures on large storm runoff managements under different rainfall intensity-durationfrequency (IDF), which would be helpful to select suitable LID practices for cities in China.
INTRODUCTION
During the last decades, urbanization has almost swept across China. The population growth,
urban density changes, and land cover changes accompany with urbanizations and urban
developments. The traditional developments leading to land cover changes will raise the high
proportions of imperviousness. In addition, traditional developments will also result in increased
surface runoff volume, diminished infiltration and decreased baseflow in consequence
