Features: This book is a specialized work on sediment in reservoirs, divided into six parts and seventeen chapters. It introduces the characteristics of water and sediment in the Yellow River Basin; the scouring and deposition mechanisms of sediment in reservoirs and sediment discharge, as well as special issues of sediment in reservoirs in the Yellow River Basin; the generation, movement, and sediment discharge of density currents in reservoirs, including high-sediment-content density currents; the layout of sediment and sediment discharge tunnels in hydraulic structures; reservoir management and operation; the role of hydraulic and hydropower structures in the evolution of downstream river channels, and the effects of sediment retention in reservoirs on reducing sedimentation in downstream channels. The book has a complete system, rich content, and a close integration of theory and practice. It is suitable for researchers in reservoir sediment design and engineering management, as well as students and teachers in universities and colleges for reference.
