In order to analyse the impact on the downstream river course, Jingjiang Hydrologic and Water Resources Survey Bureau of Changjiang Water Resources Commission has conducted prototype observation on the Yichang-Chenglingji river stretch. On basis of the observed data, the change in river regime and scour-sedimentation evolution and water surface profile below the dam are analysed systematically. The results show that the scouring of downstream river course mainly stretches from Yichang to Ouchikou, mainly occurring in 1980～1987; the scourring mainly takes place in the river channel and the water surface profile drops significantly in dry season,but not quite in high flood season.展开更多
