Mechanisms controlling seasonal variations of hydrochemistry in a typical river of the Baiyangdian Basin by Xi YANG, Xiaowei JIANG, Xiaohong GENG, Rongtao MA, Taotao JI, Zhiyuan ZHANG

“…The results indicate that the hydrochemical characteristic of the Angezhuang Reservoir exhibited seasonal variation in the year 2023, which significantly influenced the hydrochemistry of the downstream river. At the confluence of the Yishui River and the Nanjuma River, the hydrochemical components were predominantly similar to those of the Yishui River, indicating that the Yishui River's flow primarily governs the mixed hydrochemistry composition of the Nanjuma River. …”

Prediction and Impact of Supersaturated Total Dissolved Gas in Flood Discharge of Flood Control Reservoirs in Southwest Mountain Areas: A Case Study in Jiangjiakou Reservoir by ZHANG Zhihao, ZHANG Peng, LIANG Ruifeng, WANG Qingfeng, WANG Yuanming, LI Kefeng

“…With the transportation and dissipation of TDG under the dam, the TDG concentration of each river section under each condition is lower than 115%, except the river reach between Jiangjiakou dam site and river section downstream of the dam with a distance of 2.7 km (the surface spillway to discharge the flood once in five years) and the river reach between dam site and Tongjiang river confluence (the bottom outlet discharge cavity to discharge the flood once every five years); ② In all four flood discharge scenarios, supersaturated TDG will not have adverse effects on the silver carp; and ③ the hydrodynamics shows that the water depths of the river reaches downstream of dam meet the compensation water depth for Rock carp under all scenarios, and this species will not be affected by supersaturated TDG after using the compensation water depth. …”

Ecological risks in downstream lakes exacerbated by the three Gorges reservoir by Xinxin Chen, Yaxin Guo, Junhong Zhang, Xiao Han, Weiya Huang, Yao Yue

“…The results showed that (1) TGD storage led to a decrease in the number of high pulses at downstream stations, resulting in wetland degradation in the riverine region; (2) the SI (Shannon’s diversity index) based on hydrological calculations became smaller, indicating that the downstream biodiversity showed a decreasing trend; (3) the diversion ratio and the confluence ratio of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River decreased at the same time, and the connectivity decreased, which would lead to an increase in the degree and frequency of droughts during the dry season;(4) after the regulation of the TGD, the low-risk months were transformed into medium-risk months of the Dongting Lake basin, indicating a deterioration of the ecological situation in this region. …”
