Review on emergency disposal techniques for barrier lakes
The barrier lakes with large backwater volume and short-term breaching are major natural disasters that threaten public safety.Emergency disposal of high-risk barrier lakes is exceptionally challenging due to factors such as limited data,dis-rupted transportation,hazardous environments,and a very short response time.It remains a formidable engineering challenge throughout the world.Summarizing emergency disposal techniques for barrier lakes to enhance disaster prevention and mitigation is indispensable.This study provided a comprehensive review on barrier lakes emergency disposal techniques,covering overflowing breaching mechanisms,risk identification methods,emergency disposal technologies,construction technologies and equipment.These insights aimed to offer theoretical,methodological,technical,and equipment support for future emergency response efforts related to barrier lake disasters.Additionally,we highlighted current shortcomings in emergency disposal technology research and suggested directions for further development.The research result can provide insights for future research in this field.
