The role of rubber dams mainly includes the following aspects:
Flood prevention: rubber dams can form a temporary water level regulation zone in the river, which raises the height of the top of the dam to prevent flooding when the river level rises. At the same time, rubber dams can also store floodwaters, slowing down flood peaks and protecting downstream cities and farmland from flooding1.
Water regulation: rubber dams can control the water flow by adjusting the opening of the inlet and outlet, realising water regulation functions such as water level adjustment and water volume deployment. This is of great significance in solving the water shortage in arid areas and improving the efficiency of water resources utilisation1.
Environmental protection: compared with traditional concrete dams, rubber dams have less impact on the environment during construction and removal, and are also more flexible and convenient. In addition, rubber dam body materials can usually be reused, reducing the waste of resources1.
Rubber dam is a flexible, reusable and environmentally friendly water conservancy engineering facility with important functions such as flood control and water regulation, which is of great significance for safeguarding people's lives and properties, improving water resources in arid areas and promoting the sustainable use of water resources.
