Abstract The identification of the water level time lag (WLTL) under the regulation processes is of great significance for environmental impact, flood control, and sediment transport of huge reservoirs. The traditional hydrodynamic method can calculate the flood inflow process and the water level change process along the river channel, but it is difficult to estimate the time difference of the reservoir water level fluctuation to the dispatching process. To quantitatively evaluate the reservoir regulation effect on the WLTL in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), the daily water level data from 2011 to 2017 of five stations in the TGR are analyzed in this paper. The results revealed that there is a significant water level difference along the reservoir from April 1 to October 31. The gap between the end of the reservoir and the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) is the largest, reaching 23.67 m on July 2. The longer the distance from the TGD, the longer the time lag. Furthermore, the WLTL is also different at the four different operating periods of the reservoir in a year. During the low water level operation period and high water level operation period, the time lag is 3 days which is the greatest, while in the water level decline period and water level rise period, the time lag is within 2 days.

Xiaolangdi Reservoir

Sediment problems affect the operation life and comprehensive benefits of a reservoir. In response to the floods in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, the Xiaolangdi Reservoir is subjected to preventative pre-discharge scheduling. Through a prototypical observation of the density current plunging zone of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir in 2018, we collected prototypical data of the water level, water-sediment characteristics, sediment thickness, thalweg points, and flow velocity, and analyzed the pre-dam distribution of density current and scouring-sedimentation characteristics during the flood dispatching period of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir. The research results promoted the understanding of the movement law of the density current of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir and the development of efficient sediment drainage technology for reservoirs.

Xiaolangdi Reservoir

In view of the abnormal phenomenon that a flood peak increased in August 2004 and July 2005 along the lower Yellow River, the mechanism of this abnormal phenomenon is studied. It is found that the flood increase was due to the decrease the channel roughness in the propagation of high concentrated flood carrying the extra fine sediment which was discharged from xiaolangdi reservoir. In view of this, the equation of drag reduction rate is derivated under variable k pattern, and is applied to the reality. The results show that the equation is reliable and has important role in flood control and calculation in water level with hyperconcentration flow. The study of this paper only is a try and discuusion, and need to be improved.

Water Demands

Large-scale reservoirs have played a significant role in meeting various water demands and socio-economic development, while they also lead to undeniable impacts on the environment and ecology. The Longyangxia reservoir located on the Yellow River is the first large-scale reservoir on the upper Yellow River with a control area of 18% of the entire Yellow River Basin. Since it was put into operation in 1987, it has made great contributions to the national economy for over 30 years. In this study, the socio-economic benefits of the Longyangxia reservoir in power generation, water supply, flood control, and ice prevention are investigated. More importantly, its impacts on the ecology and environment are also presented and analyzed, such as the impacts on river morphology, flow regimes, peak flow, fish, phytoplankton, and zooplankton. It can be concluded that the construction of the Longyangxia reservoir contributes greatly to socio-economic benefits, the water area nearby has formed a new ecological environment, and the trophic level of the aquatic environment has probably increased.

Water Amount

The total water amount into the Yellow River estuary is significantly reduced with the construction of a series of reservoirs in the Yellow River, which has a lot of adversely effects on the fishes and fishery resources in the estuary. This research analyzes the impacts of the reservoirs on the runoff and discharge in the Lower Yellow River and the estuary, and pays more attention to the influences of the reduction of water amount on the estuarine ecology and fishes. As a large reservoir nearest to the estuary in the Lower Yellow River, the operation of Xiaolangdi Reservoir plays an important role on the ecological restoration of the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the estuary. Two ecological operation schemes are proposed based on the ecological demands of the estuarine fishes and the actual operation of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir in recent years. One scheme is proposed only on the basis of the estuarine ecological water demands and another scheme takes consideration of ecological water demands and the actual status of the water resources in the Lower Yellow River synthetically. Finally, the feasibility of the two schemes are analyzed according to the actual situation of water storage of the reservoirs in the Yellow River in 2017.

Water level and streamflow extracted from 891 hydrological episodes from both dry and flood seasons covering a period of 1954–2009 were analyzed to investigate stage–flow relations. Results indicate the following. (1) Since the early 1990s the low/high flow is increasing/decreasing. The water level, particularly the high level, is consistently decreasing. An abrupt decrease of water level is observed since the early 1990s at the lower East River. (2) Stage–streamflow relation is usually stable in the river reach with no significant bedform morphological changes. Changes in the geometric shape of the river channel are the major cause of the change in the stage–streamflow relation. (3) An abrupt decrease of water level at the Boluo station is mainly the result of abnormally rapid downcutting of the riverbed due to extensive sand dredging within the channel which caused serious headwater erosion. This human-induced modification by downcutting of the river channel may lead to significant hydrological alterations and may have critical implications for flood control, conservation of eco-environment, and also for basin-wide water resources management in the lower East River basin.

Xiaolangdi Reservoir

Sandbar development would stop the water and sediment exchange between main river and tributary and even influence the normal reservoir opeartion. From the surveyed data of reservoir built many years ago, it shows that when there is a bar in tributary mouth, the tributary volume below the bar will become nullification during the period of flood control or water and sediment regulation of reservoir. There are more tributaries in Xiaolangdi reservoir than the others that it occupies 41.3% of the total initial volume of tributary volume. Obviously, the effective use of tributary volume has been important influenced by comprehensive utilization efficiency of reservoir scheduling, such as flood control, sedimentation reduction and comprehensive utilization. Results of Xiaolangdi Reservoir mobile-bed physical model experiments show that tributary is equivalent to lateral extension of river bed, the tributary intrusion deposition process have strongly relations with the factors, such as original topography, river bed deposition shape and its regime, process with input discharge and input sediment, and method of reservoir regulation. The variation trends of main river and tributary terrain forecasted by model test are basically in accordance with field surveyed data. The results could be used for research, design, and forecasting of reservoirs in sediment-laden river.

<p>The fluvial sediment to the sea is the base of coastal geomorphology and biogeochemical processes, and its transport is an important pathway to the global biogeochemical cycle. The Yellow River is one of globally well-known large rivers because of high sediment load and Chinese Mother River. Its channel shifts frequently because of high sediment load and steep river-channel gradient in the lower reaches . The terminal channel has shifted more than 50 times since 1855 and the last two changes in 1976 and 1996. Furthermore, Yellow River Conservancy Commission has began to implement Water-Sediment Regulation Scheme (WSRS) since 2002, to increase the main channel discharge capacity and to reduce deposition in the reservoirs and river channel. Surface sediment, multi-core and gravity sediment cores, remote sensing images and bathymetric data near the Yellow River delta were collected to study the impact of WSRS and river terminal change together with the water and sediment discharge at the gauging station. Especially, <sup>7</sup>Be, <sup>210</sup>Pb and <sup>137</sup>Cs, grain size, sediment color and TOC/TN was measured to show sedimentary record of WSRS and channel shift on inter-and intra-annual time scale. The results show that the fresh sediment from Yellow River  during 2014 WSRS period can be transported eastward more than 80 km off the rivermouth, while cannot pass 38° easily. Meanwhile the sediment can penetrate as deep as 12 cm. The subaerial delta area is mostly stable after 2002, and its balance is mainly controlled by the surrounding artificial coastline. The subaqueous delta changed from trapping about 4.6×10<sup>8</sup> t to being eroded ~ 3.1×10<sup>8</sup> t and 1.1×10<sup>8</sup> t each year during the three stages of 1976-1996, 1996-2002 and 2002-2014. It is proposed that the subaerial delta area will change little except for the Q8 outlet area, while the subaqueous delta evolution mostly depend on the Huanghe material besides the hydrodynamic conditions. In addition, the aim of WSRS to scour the lower riverbed will recede in future. This study deepens our understanding of the fluvial sediment disperse pattern and sedimentation under the influence of human activities and hydrodynamic conditions.</p><div>Acknowledgements</div><div> <div>This study was supported by National Programme on Global Change and Air-Sea Interaction (GASI-GEOGE-03) and the Natural Science Foundation of China (U1606401).</div> </div>

In today’s reservoir operation study, it is urgent to solve the issues on improving flood resource utilization, maximizing reservoir impoundment, and guaranteeing water supply through real-time regulation optimization under the premise of ensuring flood control safety and taking risks properly. Based on previous studies, the key real-time operation technologies for dynamic control of reservoir water levels in flood season are summarized. The Danjiangkou Reservoir was taken as an example, the division of flood stages, reservoir water level requirements for improving water supply guarantee, dynamic control indexes of reservoir water level for beneficial use in stages during the flood season, and flood control dispatching indexes are proposed. Moreover, a practicable real-time flood forecast operation scheme for Danjiangkou Reservoir was compiled. Its application in 2017 indicated that the established scheme can provide strong technical support to ensure the overall benefits of Danjiangkou Reservoir, including flood control, water supply, and power generation.
