Features: The first water and sediment regulation experiment of the Yellow River is the largest prototype scientific experiment in the history of water conservancy. This book is divided into five parts: overview, contingency plan, implementation, analysis, and insights, providing a comprehensive systematic summary and research on the first water and sediment regulation experiment of the Yellow River. The main contents include the reasons for the experiment, the experimental process, the experimental results, the contingency plan for water and sediment regulation, work organization, real-time dispatching plan, real-time dispatching process, hydrological and sediment measurement, water and sediment processes, internal waves in Xiaolangdi Reservoir, scouring and filling in Xiaolangdi Reservoir, scouring and filling evolution in the downstream river channel and estuary, river regime, engineering conditions, hazardous situations, overbank flooding, experimental duration and scouring and filling effects, verification of physical models, verification of mathematical models, and main conclusions. The experimental process is systematically described, and important technical issues such as the critical flow and critical time for the Yellow River's water and sediment regulation experiment are carefully analyzed and studied. The book proposes the main conclusions, insights, and lessons learned from the first water and sediment regulation experiment of the Yellow River, and looks ahead to how water and sediment regulation work on the Yellow River should be carried out in the future. This book is available for water conservancy management, planning and design, and research personnel, as well as the general public concerned with the governance and development of the Yellow River.
