Dimensionless Assessment Method of Landslide Dam Formation Caused by Tributary Debris Flow Events by Kun-Ting Chen, Xiao-Qing Chen, Gui-Sheng Hu, Yu-Shu Kuo, Yan-Rong Huang, Chjeng-Lun Shieh

“…Based on the theory of debris flow run-out distance and fan formation, landslide dam formation may result from a tributary debris flow as a result of two concurrent formation processes: (1) the run-out distance of the tributary debris flow must be greater than the width of the main stream, and (2) the minimum deposition thickness of the tributary debris flow must be higher than the in situ water depth of the main stream. At the confluence, one of four types of depositional scenarios may result: (1) the tributary debris flow enters into the main stream and forms a landslide dam; (2) the tributary debris flow enters into the main stream but overflow occurs, thus preventing complete blockage of the main stream; (3) the tributary debris flow enters into the main stream, does not reach the far bank, and sediment remains partially above the water elevation of the main stream; or (4) the tributary debris flow enters into the main stream, does not reach the far bank, and sediment is fully submerged in the main stream. …”

Ecological risks in downstream lakes exacerbated by the three Gorges reservoir by Xinxin Chen, Yaxin Guo, Junhong Zhang, Xiao Han, Weiya Huang, Yao Yue

“…The results showed that (1) TGD storage led to a decrease in the number of high pulses at downstream stations, resulting in wetland degradation in the riverine region; (2) the SI (Shannon’s diversity index) based on hydrological calculations became smaller, indicating that the downstream biodiversity showed a decreasing trend; (3) the diversion ratio and the confluence ratio of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River decreased at the same time, and the connectivity decreased, which would lead to an increase in the degree and frequency of droughts during the dry season;(4) after the regulation of the TGD, the low-risk months were transformed into medium-risk months of the Dongting Lake basin, indicating a deterioration of the ecological situation in this region. …”
