Analysis of the Three Gorges Reservoir Operation on the Water Level of Yangtze River during the Non-Flood Season

Abstract:

In the middle and downstream area of the Yangtze River, low water levels had occurred at post-flood season or before the flood season in recent years, since the trial impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in 2008. Based on the analysis of the low water levels, both rating curve of main stations in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the operation of TGR in the dry season were analyzed in study to reveal the effects of the impoundment of TGR on water level of downstream areas. The research results show that the water supplement of the TGR could raise the downstream water level, which has positive effect on water supplement and navigation in this area.
