Abstract：Under the context of global climate change,extreme precipitation events have become more frequent and intense in China,leading to increasing abruptness,extremity,and uncertainty in flood disasters.The uneven spatial and temporal distribution of water resources,along with the persistent contradiction between water supply and demand,remains a prominent issue.The intertwined challenges of"water disasters"and"water utilization"pose severe challenges to traditional flood management approaches.As a comprehensive infrastructure system integrating flood control and disaster reduction,water resource allocation,and ecological protection,the modern water network provides a physical carrier for the coordinated resolution of flood disaster prevention and resource utilization.Based on a tripartite understanding of the hazardous,resource-based,and functional attributes of floods,this paper elucidates the theoretical foundation of"regulation and storage as foundation,equal emphasis on prevention and utilization"within the framework of modern water network engineering.It proposes a system optimization approach structured around the"outline,mesh,and knot"framework.On this basis,an intelligent collaborative regulation system based on the"four pre"(forecasting,early warning,rehearsal,and contingency plan)is constructed,and institutional safeguards,including the improvement of coordination systems and the refinement of regulatory and technical standards,are explored.The study suggests that the modern water network provides an engineering foundation for achieving a leap in flood management capabilities from"control"to"utilization"and further to"shaping".There is an urgent need to systematically advance conceptual renewal,engineering optimization,smart dispatching,and institutional innovation to accelerate the establishment of a modern flood governance paradigm centered on regulation and storage,with synergistic coordination between flood control and resource utilization.This will provide theoretical support and practical pathways for enhancing national water security capabilities.
