Estimate of cumulative sediment trapping by multiple reservoirs in large river basins: An example of the Yangtze River basin
Most existing models are unable to model large spatial pattern of reservoir sedimentation
due to the difficulty in accounting for trapping by upstream reservoirs in a multiple reservoir
system. In this study we developed and applied a framework on 1358 of large and medium-
sized reservoirs (≥ 10 7 maximum storage capacity) for calculating reservoir sedimentation
rates in the multi-reservoir Yangtze River system while accounting for the effect of reduced
sediment input due to upstream traps. We further used statistical inferences to assess the …
