Adjustment of mainstream - Tributary relation upstream from a reservoir : an example from the Laohahe River, China

Auteur :
XU JIONGXIN,

Description :
Based on data from the Laohahe River and the Yangchangzihe River, its tributary, both located above the Honshan Reservoir, effort has been made to reveal the response of tributary channel to the rising base-level induced by the reservoir construction and the sedimentation in the river mainstream. This paper also discusses the feedback from the tributary to the channel adjustment of the river mainstream. Due to the strong sedimentation in the river mainstream, the response of channel adjustment of the tributary was quite complex, and this has been generalized as a 5-stage descriptive model in this study.
