The Study of river water quality interation with lakes and dam reservoirs is important from anexploitation point of view. When river water with different densities enters a lake or dam reservoir,underflow density current phenomenon occurs. Because of the density, so understandingdifferent arrays of this phenomenon Seems necessary for checking erosion and sedimentationprocesses and their managem...

Extensive ephemeral wetlands at Poyang Lake, created by dramatic seasonal changes in water level, constitute the main wintering site for migratory Anatidae in China.
