Based on site investigation data and historical data of characteristic hydrological years in Tigris River, the natural conditions and sediment environment were analyzed, a 2D mathematical model of flow and sediment was used to analyzed the intake schemes in Wassit power station (4×330MW). The calculation results based on the data of flow and sediment in representative year show that the erosion and deposition will occur in the region of water intake engineering. So the reasonable design parameters related to water intake by pump vessel should be provided by designer.
Reservoir regulation and reservoir sedimentation make conditions of flow and sediment under the dam change greatly after impoundment of the Three Gorges Project. This paper analyzes change trend and abrupt change situation of incoming water and sediment and studies characteristics of new flow and sediment of Yichang Station after impoundment of the Three Gorges with Mann-Kendall nonparametric rank test method. The result indicates that operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir has leveled runoff process and shortened dry season and extended median water period. After operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir, annual sediment runoff and monthly sediment runoff of some months changed suddenly and sediment runoff reduced sharply in Yichang Station. Sediment entering the middle and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River decreases substantially and it almost can be regarded as clean water discharge. Intorduction After operation of 175m normal water level of the Three Gorges Reservoir, total storage capacity of the reservoir is about 43 billion m3. Most of incoming sediment in the upstream is intercepted and deposited inside the reservoir and clean water and muddy water containing non-bed sand discharges. Change of water and sediment conditions destroys balance of downstream river and causes bed-rebuilding of downstream channels. And this results in a serious of long-term and long distance changes, such as on-way recovery of sand content, undercutting of bed scour, expansion of bank erosion and decline of water table, etc.[1-. Yichang Station controls a drainage area of 1005501km2 in upstream of the Yangtze River and is a major flood source for the middle and the lower reach of the Yangtze River. Thus, water regime information of Yichang Station is significant to flood control of the middle and the lower reach of the Yangtze River, regulation of the Three Gorges Reservoir, construction of water conservancy project all across the Yangtze River, industrial and agricultural production and shipping, etc. On account of this, this article analyzes data about coming water and sediment of Yichang Station to support characteristics of new flow and sediment of Yichang Station after impoundment of the Three Gorges with Mann-Kendall nonparametric rank test method.
Reservoir regulation make conditions of flow under the dam change greatly after impoundment of the Three Gorges Project. This paper analyzes change trend and abrupt change situation of incoming water and studies characteristics of new flow of Yichang and Hankou Stations after impoundment of the Three Gorges with Mann-Kendall nonparametric rank test method. The result indicates that operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir has leveled runoff process and shortened dry season and extended median water period; After operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir, monthly river runoff of several months in both of Yichang and Hankou Stations changed abruptly. However, so far as time of abrupt change is concerned, sudden change of annual river runoff or monthly river runoff has little to do with operation of the Three Gorges Project.
Reservoir regulation make conditions of sediment under the dam change greatly after impoundment of the Three Gorges Project. This paper analyzes change trend and abrupt change situation of incoming sediment and studies characteristics of new sediment of Yichang and Hankou Stations after impoundment of the Three Gorges with Mann-Kendall nonparametric rank test method. The result indicates that after operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir, annual sediment runoff changed suddenly and sediment runoff reduced sharply in Yichang and Hankou Stations; sediment entering the Yichang-Wuhan reach decreases substantially and it almost can be regarded as clean water discharge. Research shows unsaturated degree of the clear water released from reservoirs decreased after obtaining sediment along the river, so the sediment discharge would be partly recovered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
