Abstract: |
Since the late 1950s, decreased discharge into the North Branch of the Changjiang estuary, combined with strengthened tidal current function and the gradual swallowing of the channel, has resulted in the North Branch transforming from an ebb dominated channel to a flood dominated channel. After the flooding of 1998, sedimentation rate in the upper reaches of the North Branch increased as did the tidal range. Under similar discharge conditions at Datong Station, chlorinity increased due to saltwater intrusion from theNorth Branch to the South Branch. A main reason for the rise of chlorinity in the South Branch and upstream regions of the South and North Channel( including the Qingcaosha water area) is the saltwater intrusion from the North Branch into the South Branch. From measurements of water depth, chlorinity, flow velocity and direction during five spring tidal cycles in April 10-13, 2001, net salt fluxes from the North Branch into the South Branch were calculated to be around 5.45*106t. This research provides the necessary data for prediction of the intensity of saltwater intrusion in the South Branch and Qingcaosha water area plus basis for utilization of the freshwater resources in the Changjiang estuary. |
