| 英文摘要 | El Ni & ntilde;o Southern Oscillation (ENSO), encompassing El Ni & ntilde;o and La Ni & ntilde;a, significantly influences river flooding patterns, which is prompting to investigate its relationship with floods in Nepal's transboundary Karnali River Basin (KRB). Focusing on extreme flood events during El Ni & ntilde;o and La Ni & ntilde;a years, this research aims to enhance the understanding of ENSO's impact on hydrological and hydrodynamic processes. Precipitation and discharge data spanning from 1964 to 2020 sourced from the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM), Government of Nepal, were analyzed. Hydrodynamic modeling, employing HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS, identified four significant El Ni & ntilde;o events in 1983, 2000, 2014 (La Ni & ntilde;a years), and 2015 (a strong El Ni & ntilde;o year) at the basin. The study identified ENSO events and examined basin characteristics, precipitation depth, river discharge, and gauge height, utilizing daily data for model estimation of flood discharge and depth. Analysis of ENSO-related variability, including Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI), alongside pressure, temperature, and discharge data across the KRB, was conducted using a three-year running mean. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method was integrated within the HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS models to evaluate rainfall duration and flood response considering terrain, soil, and land use. Model simulations revealed river channel shifts, particularly along the right bank, during the 2015 ENSO event. Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) and correlation/regression analyses further elucidated the impact of ENSO, with the lowest recorded precipitation and discharge observed during the 2015 El Ni & ntilde;o event despite localized heavy rainfall. Comparative analysis of flood discharge, gauge height, inundation extents, depths, and velocities across ENSO years highlighted a significant relationship between observed and modeled discharge during the monsoon season. The positive correlation between basin mean precipitation and discharge during ENSO event indicating precipitation as a key driver of the basin's hydrology. These findings offer valuable insights for water resource management and development, aiding in the anticipation of future strong ENSO and El Ni & ntilde;o events in the region. |
