Features: This book has a scientific system, abundant data, clear explanation of mechanisms, and particularly emphasizes theoretical generalization. Many contents involve the front of reservoir siltation and related advancements, with a significant portion being innovative. It is suitable for reservoir planning and management personnel, researchers in reservoir siltation and sediment transport theory, and faculty and students of relevant disciplines in colleges and universities. This book is a specialized work on reservoir siltation, divided into three parts and fifteen chapters. Part I covers the basic phenomena and laws of reservoir siltation, including unbalanced transport of heterogeneous suspended load, reservoir hypopycnal flow and high-sediment-concentration flow, reservoir siltation morphology, bedload siltation, reservoir sediment discharge and scouring, the interaction between siltation and backwater, scouring and deposition in variable backwater areas, reservoir siltation equilibrium, as well as determination of roughness and reservoir dry density. Part II focuses on reservoir siltation control, including reservoir capacity siltation control, flood level elevation control, navigation control in variable backwater areas, sediment and flow control at the dam front, and scouring control in downstream channels. Part III discusses the scouring and deformation of the downstream riverbed, including general scouring and deposition phenomena, the effects of changes in water and sediment processes, sediment concentration recovery, and riverbed deformation.
