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. Reductions in wetland area during the last 15 years have led to proposals to build a Poyang Dam to retain high winter water levels within the lake. Changing the natural hydrological system will affect waterbirds dependent on water ...

Using satellite gravimetric and altimetric data, we examine trends in water storage and lake levels of multiple lakes in the Great Rift Valley region of East Africa for the years 2003–2008. GRACE total water storage estimates reveal that water storage declined in much of East Africa, by as much as 60 mm year, while altimetric data show that lake levels in some large lakes dropped by as much as ...
