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 …

Anthropogenic interferences to large river basins are triggering unprecedented changes to
earth surface processes. The upper reach of the Yangtze River Basin (UYRB) is a typical …

Sediment accumulation has been the most important factor influencing the comprehensive
benefit of reservoirs. A quantitative investigation of the sediment trapping efficiencies of …

Reservoir sedimentation has been a serious problem for reservoir operation and watershed
management worldwide, which highlights the importance of accurate estimate of the …

Previous reservoir sedimentation models have ignored two key factors for large spatial and
temporal modeling of multiple reservoirs: trapping by upstream dams and decreasing …

Abstract Sedimentation in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) has been studied with a
primary focus on the amount due to the decrease in sediment inflow caused by water and …

The water stored and sediment trapped by the reservoirs result in physical, chemical and
ecological effects on downstream watercourse environment. Quantitative research on the …

Abstract The Three Gorges Dam (TGD), on the upper valley of the Yangtze River, China, is
the largest water conservancy and power generation project in the world. Problematic …

Abstract Sedimentation in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) affects flood control,
navigation, power generation and the ecological environment. We present a comprehensive …

Long term sediment yield data from more than 250 stations in the Upper Yangtze basin have
been analysed to examine the temporal and spatial patterns of sediment yield. The potential …
