摘要
This paper summarizes the latest developments,future prospects,and proposed countermeasures of reservoir sedimentation and channel scour downstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir(TGR)on the Yangtze River in China.Three key results have been found.(1)The incoming sediment load to the TGR has been significantly lower than expected.(2)The accumulated volume of sediment deposition in the TGR is smaller than expected because the overall sediment delivery ratio is relatively low,and the deposition in the near-dam area of the TGR is still developing.(3)River bed scour in the river reaches downstream of the Gezhouba Dam is still occurring and channel scour has extended to reaches as far downstream as the Hukou reach.Significantly,sedimentation of the TGR is less problematic than expected since the start of operation of the TGR on the one hand;on the other hand,the possible increases in sediment risks from dependence on upstream sediment control,deposition in the reservoir,and scour along middle Yangtze River should be paid more attention.(1)Sediment trapped by dams built along the upper Yangtze River and billion tons of loose materials on unstable slopes produced by the Wenchuan Earthquake could be new sediment sources for the upper Yangtze River.More seriously,possible release of this sediment into the upper Yangtze River due to new earthquakes or extreme climate events could overwhelm the river system,and produce catastrophic consequences.(2)Increasing sediment deposition in the TGR is harmful to the safety and efficiency of project operation and navigation.(3)The drastic scour along the middle Yangtze River has intensified the down-cutting of the riverbed and erosion of revetment,it has already led to increasing risk to flood control structures and ecological safety.It is suggested to continue the Field Observation Program,to initiate research programs and to focus on risks of sedimentation.
