The construction of air shield dams must conform to nature.

The construction of air shield dams must make use of nature. Why exactly? Let me explain it in detail below. Feel free to read on if you are interested.

The construction of reservoir dams and rubber dams brings both positive and negative impacts as well as potential risks to the surrounding environment. Tianyuan Equipment takes all these adverse effects into full consideration during the design of air shield dams and strives to minimize them. Such impacts are inevitable if we intend to utilize abundant clean water resources and rely on rubber dams to prevent floods and droughts, which is a price we have to pay. It is just like human beings cultivating land from nature for survival.

In rushing rivers, sediment eroded from the upper reaches flows towards the sea along with the currents and gradually settles in slow-flowing waters. Excessive sediment deposition in river channels will severely raise flood risks in upstream areas. Therefore, it is necessary to build rubber dams on gentle river sections, together with sediment sluices matched with air shield dams. Pneumatic shield gates can discharge water rapidly and flush away sediment, basically achieving a balance between sediment deposition and erosion in river channels and giving full play to the functions of water conservancy projects.

Air shield dams greatly facilitate water intake and ensure sufficient water supply for people during droughts. Rubber dams can intercept and store river water to flexibly regulate water volume, benefiting downstream residents and the local ecology.

Pneumatic shield gates neither generate nor consume water. The root cause of ecological damage lies in intensified water conflicts between regions and between humans and nature, where human water demand exceeds natural water supply during dry seasons. Without air shield dams storing floodwater in flood seasons, the harm caused by drought would become far more uncontrollable.

Air shield dams help maintain a sound river environment. For rivers with heavy sediment load, sediment transport capacity is closely linked to water flow. A drop in downstream discharge will worsen sediment silting, raising riverbeds and narrowing river channels, which impairs flood control capacity. Even if the flood flow remains unchanged, the water level will rise sharply and trigger frequent floods.

Tianyuan Equipment holds that the flexible lifting of air shield dams can break the vicious cycle of reduced water flow and aggravated silting. On the premise of guaranteeing ecological water use, combined with cascade rubber dams, we can conduct water and sediment regulation. Artificial flood peaks will flush the sediment accumulated in reservoirs and river channels into the sea. Embankments equipped with pneumatic shield gates can fully meet the requirements for flood discharge.

The above explains why the construction of air shield dams must adapt to nature. Hope this content is helpful to you.
