River basin management involves many issues including water resources, water ecology, water environment, and water disasters. Digital twins integrated with GIS, BIM and IoT are applied to river basin management, to establish digital twin data and model integration and visual expression methods, study the digital twin operation mechanism, build smart river basin twin, and design a digital twin-driven smart river basin platform. Taking the joint flood dispatching management and control of the reservoir group in the Duhe River Basin as an example. The application has proven that: compared with the problems of incomplete information, insufficient accuracy, lagging feedback and single expression in traditional basin database management or two-dimensional plane management, the digital twin-driven smart basin platform, on the basis of the integration and interaction of GIS data, BIM data and IoT data, and on the basis of data and model two-way drive, can realize simulation, decision making, optimization and visualization in external environment, and the control effect is better than traditional means. The research and practice of the platform can realize real-time monitoring, diagnosis, analysis, decision making and prediction for river basin management, providing a new solution for its intelligent operation, precise control and safe operation and maintenance.
