Dams have made great contributions to human society, facilitating flood control, power
generation, shipping, agriculture, and industry. However, the construction of dams greatly …

Many large rivers in the world delivers decreasing sediment loads to coastal oceans owing
to reductions in sediment yield and disrupted sediment deliver. Understanding the sediment …

Abstract The Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China located at the midstream of
the Yangtze River, and the water level has witnessed a decline both interannually and …

This study investigated the influence of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) on the evolution of
nearby channels in the Yangtze River (Changjiang River) system in order to better …

River flooding—the world's most significant natural hazard—is likely to increase under
anthropogenic climate change. Most large rivers have been regulated by damming, but the …

Dam construction has far-reaching impacts on pollutant accumulation and the pollutant-
induced quality of aquatic environments. Nonetheless, its large-scale effects on pollutant …

River sediment flux, the most critical element of land-ocean interaction, is undergoing
significant changes due to climate variability and anthropogenic activities. Thus, identifying …

The hydrological regime of a lake is largely dependent on its bathymetry. A dramatic water
level reduction has occurred in Poyang Lake in recent years, coinciding with significant bed …

Large reservoirs can considerably alter the water-sediment dynamics and morphology of
alluvial rivers. Here we review the effects of two mega reservoirs operated with different …

Under the impact of intensive anthropogenic activities and in the context of global climate
change, the hydromorphological processes of most lakes around the world have changed …
