...Rong Huang; Lupei Zhu; Yixian Xu; Chi‐Chia Tang; Hongbin Wen Abstract Seismicity in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) region increased noticeably as the water level of the reservoir rises, since the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) was built in 2003. Here, we determined moment tensors of six earthquakes...

... of the downstream channel. Scour of the downstream channel is a common response because large dams cause a significant interruption to sediment continuity. Here we show that in the case of China's Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River the outcome is complicated, as is commonly the case in large rivers...

... infiltrated the crystalline basement rock layer up to 15–20 km beneath the Three Gorges Reservoir. Furthermore, the Three Gorges Dam serves as a solid foundation to prevent reservoir water from seeping downstream underground. * Corresponding author: [email protected] 25 April 2024 ©...

..., and the presence of faults are the main factors contributing to the fluid infiltration distribution beneath the reservoir region. 5 December 2017 © Seismological Society of America The Three Gorges Dam Project, located in the Yiling District of Yichang, in Hubei Province, China, is the world’s...

...X. Wang; R. Niu; Y. Wang Abstract Abstract In the Three Gorges major landslides are the primary disasters, and endanger the normal running of the Three Gorges Dam and the life and property of the residents in the region. Hence, it is very important to formulate effective strategies...

... and research scope map. The Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) and its associated infrastructure comprise the largest integrated water project built in the history of the world ( Gleick, 2010 ). The Three Gorges Dam is 185 m above sea level at its top, and it stretches 2309.47 m across one of the largest...

... ), and these dams have led to coastal erosion in the delta by reducing sediment deposition levels (Saito et al. 2007 ; Wang et al. 2011 ; Yang et al. 2018 ). The Three Gorges Dam (TGD), the largest dam in the world (Nilsson et al. 2005 ), is located in the middle reach of the Changjiang (Guo et al. 2012...

... populated areas of the world and is affected by the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), the biggest dam in the world (Figure 1 ). Except for the source area for the CR (headwater) characterized by high elevation and cold climate, most of the CR Basin is located in the subtropical zone influenced by a typical East...

... 2001 ; Bao et al. 2015 ). Since the impoundment behind the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), the water level has fluctuated between 145 m and 175 m, which interrupts the natural balance of sediment transport from the upper to lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The TGR operation is characterized by anti...
