We studied the impacts of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) on the sedimentation regimes in the downstream-linked two largest Chinese freshwater lakes, Lake Dongting and Lake Poyang. Our results indicate that up to 1.73 × 109 t sediment was retained in TGR from June 2003 to December 2014. This resulted in a 145.9 × 106 t yr-1 decline in the suspended sediment load at Zhicheng and a 16.8 × 106 t yr-1...

—Studies of the whirling disease epizootic in the upper Colorado River drainage have suggested that Windy Gap Reservoir is a source of the fish-infective actinospore of Myxobolus cerebralis. We divided the reservoir into four quadrants (12 zones) and conducted a core-sampling study to determine the spatial dynamics of actinospore production within the reservoir from late June to early November ...

The Hanjiang River is the second-largest river in Guangdong Province, China. modern sedimentation pattern of subaqueous delta has been significantly affected by changes sediment delivered River. Based on multiperiod charts and columnar samples from delta, influence a sharp decrease flux deposition past 60 years was studied through combination chart-based analysis evolution erosion samples. resu...

hydro-induction sediment discharge technique (hsdt) aims to prevent reservoir sedimentation by withdrawing the discharge water from the reservoir bottom to suck up and discharge sediments, and by inducing vertical vortexes and undercurrents in the reservoir bay to keep sediments agitated and moving. the technique is facilitated with an innovative discharge conduit system having bottom intakes t...

1. introduction one of the main characteristics of azadegan plain in the west of khuzestan province is active instability of geomorphic features of karkheh river this instability caused extensive variations in the sedimentary setup in the western parts of this plain, such as buried and abandoned river beds, which are repeated over time. therefore, these variations should be studied in more deta...
