Improved ecological development model for lower Yellow River floodplain, China
Water Science and Engineering, 2020 In this study, a model for the development of the wide floodplain in the lower Yellow River Basin, in China was developed. This model includes flood control schemes using grading criteria, enables sediment deposition in partitioned zones, and allows free

Managing River Flows to Restore Floodplain Forests [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2005 River damming has dramatic environmental impacts and while changes due to reservoir flooding are immediate, downstream impacts are more spatially extensive. Downstream environments are influenced by the pattern of flow regulation, which also provides an opportunity for mitigation.
