- Abstract:
-
The significant effects of the warping dams on flood and sediment reduction in the middle reaches of the Yellow River have been evident since 1980s. So the researches are necessary to figure out the sustainability of the sediment reduction of the warping dams. Dali River, the secondary branch of the Yellow River, is selected as the study area for the most warping dams in this basin. The total amount of flood and sediment reduction of terraces, forest lands, grasslands and warping dams is obtained by the soil conservation method. The sediment reduction amount and processes of warping dams are related, and the technical approaches for the sustainability sediment reduction are dealt with. The results indicate that 75 000 t deposit may overlap 1 hm2 farmland of warping dam and it will take 17 years to increase the farmland of warping dam to 3.33 hm2 per square kilometer in Dali River basin. Various factors such as development rate, density, scale, construction sequence, and dam height should be taken into consideration for realizing the sustainable sediment reduction. The density of warping dams should be increased to 2.5 ind/km2 and the proportion of large dams, middle dams and little dams should be set as 1:2.5:5.5. The warping dams should be constructed from downstream to upstream. On the other hand, the other measures including follow-up construction, treating the slope and gully synchronously, preventing from the super flood, clarifying the rights, management and maintaining, scientific researches on the dam construction also should be paid more attention to and emphasized.
