Description :
The amount of the sediment deposition in the Yichan-Wuhan reach of the middle Yangtze River has been determined using the concept of sediment budget at the channel-reach scale. The fill-scour processes of the middle Yangtze River were studied during the period 1956-1997 in response to the variation in sediment load and flow inputs. Multiple regression equations have been established to assess the contributions of influencing factors to the variation in sediment deposition amount in the studied river reach.
