The SiXianJiao (SXJ) is the first-order exchange node of West River and North redistributes water (mass) to downstream river network in Pearl Delta (PRD), South China. lateral SXJ waterway plays a critical role flow diversion between River, forming unique H-shaped compound node. Previous studies mainly focused on Y-shaped bifurcation confluence nodes, there lack research deltaic nodes. This stu...

Water resources availability for meeting reservoir storage, water supply diversion, and environmental instream flow requirements must be assessed based on various premises regarding future water uses as well as climatic and hydrological conditions. This study, therefore, investigates the possible association between climate change and water resources variability, and detects the plausible long-...

As China’s economy booms, increasing water use has significantly affected hydro-geomorphic processes and thus the ecology of surface waters. A large variety of hydrological changes arising from human activities such as reservoir construction and management, water abstraction, water diversion and agricultural land expansion have been sustained throughout China. Using the global scale hydrologica...

The Khabour River, southernmost tributary to the Euphrates, is a case study in the complexity of managing riparian resources. The river is located entirely within Syria but the watershed includes portions of Turkey and Iraq. Indeed, on account of the steep southward precipitation gradient in the region, the spring-fed Khabour is recharged almost exclusively by precipitation that falls on Turkis...

Caruachi Hydroelectric Project conforms together with Guri, Tocoma and, Macagua the Lower Caroni Hydroelectric Development. Second Stage of River Diversion at Caruachi included diverting the Caroni River through 18, 5.5 × 9m sluices in the spillway lower body that after being closed by gates permitted the reservoir filling. In order to define the precise timing for closure of the sluices and to...

To study the factors associated with the freshwater mortality of outmigrating chinook salmon, releases of tagged juvenile salmon were made at multiple locations in the Sacramento River each spring between the years 1979 and 1995. A midwater trawl located downstream of the release sites caught salmon soon after release and, 1 to 4 years later, samples taken from the catches of marine fisheries r...

To reveal the basic characteristics and controlling factors of water quality change in the project Wenyu to Chaobai reclaimed water diversion, the water quality in the study area was monitored for one year at seven monitoring sites. Inverse geochemical models of the statistical groups were developed using PHREEQC to elucidate the hydrochemistry characteristics of reclaimed water and the factors...

Rapid land loss in the Mississippi River Delta Plain has led to intensive efforts by state and federal agencies for finding solutions in coastal land restoration in the past decade. One of the proposed solutions includes diversion of the Mississippi River water into drowning wetland areas. Although a few recent studies have investigated flow-sediment relationships in the Lowermost Mississippi R...
