“…To promote construction of coastal reservoirs as a solution to global water security and freshwater scarcity, the International Association for Coastal Reservoir Research (IACRR) was founded in January 2017. Research shows that a coastal reservoir is one of the most economical and effective means to solve the shortage of freshwater (Kolathayar, Sitharam, and Yang, 2019;Mo et al, 2021aMo et al, , 2021bYang, 2015;Yang, Smith, and Sivakumar, 2017). Investigations are needed on the suitability of coastal reservoirs for Ningbo and on its freshwater resources.…”

“…There is no complex navigation obstruction problem. Coastal reservoirs are efficient ways to use to marine resources (Gu et al ., 2019; Sitharam, 2017; Yang, 2015; Yang, Smith, and Sivakumar, 2017; Zhang et al ., 2020). Coastal reservoirs can be roughly divided into four types: river mouth reservoirs, estuarine reservoirs, tidal flat reservoirs, and island reservoirs (Zhang et al ., 2020).…”

Yang, L.; Wang, C.; Zhang, S.; Gu, H.; Thiruvenkataswamy, K.; Cheng, L., and Lin, P., 2023. Using coastal reservoirs for a sustainable freshwater supply: Feasibility study in Ningbo, China. Journal of Coastal Research, 39(4), 712–721. Charlotte (North Carolina), ISSN 0749-0208.In 2020, there was a very serious shortage of freshwater during the dry season in Ningbo, China. Aiming to solve this problem, methods to address the shortage by coastal reservoir development are proposed in this paper. According to the analysis of annual rainfall, extreme rainfall, total amount of freshwater resources, and water supply, Ningbo is not short of freshwater resources, but it is short of available freshwater. Based on the characteristics of river basins and landforms, the types of coastal reservoirs that could be built were analyzed. Results show that the northeastern plain area is suitable for construction of tidal flat reservoirs and river mouth reservoirs, and Xiangshan Port and Sanmenwan river basin are suitable for construction of river mouth reservoirs, estuarine reservoirs, and combined river reservoirs.

“…Only in China, 12 million people have been displaced by 85,000 reservoirs since 1949 (an average of 240,000 per year) (Wu, Penning, Zeng, Li & Chappell, 2016). The most dramatic example is the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River; the ultimate number of displaced people was estimated to be some 1.3 million (Tan & Hugo, 2011;Wilmsen, 2017;Yang, Smith & Sivakumar, 2017).…”

Construction of dams and creation of artificial water reservoirs affect the transformation of landscape and socioeconomic structure of geospace. Some of the most significant changes are related to demographic processes, manifested by the resettlement of people from submerged parts of the settlement and changes in the demographic structure. The article analyzes the impact of the building of the hydropower plant "Zvornik" and artificial Zvornik Lake on demographic processes in Municipality of Mali Zvornik in the period 1948-1961. Analysis of statistical data shows that the changes of population, population density, number of households, average household size, sex ratio, ethnicity and economic structure deviate from the usual demographic trends. Changes were detect in settlements that, after the construction of the dam, were located on the shore of the newly formed Zvornik Lake. These changes were directly related to geographical and socioeconomic transformation during the construction of HPP "Zvornik".
