简介:黄河盆为它的高沉积收益是众所周知的。然而,自从1980年代,这沉积收益清楚地减少了,特别在2000年以后。年度平均沉积收益是在2000前的12亿吨,但是显著地在最后10年减少了到3亿吨。在为黄河的分泌物和沉积产量的变化吸引了中央政府和本地社区的注意。这研究试图在降水和人的活动识别变化的单个贡献(例如水管理工程,terracing,淤泥水坝,社会经济并且需要,并且土壤和水保存在分泌物和黄河的沉积产量测量到减少。使用的学习两个都改进了水文学方法和水保存方法。学习为河的中间的活动范围为上面的活动范围和沉积的调查集中了于分泌物分析。结果证明分泌物和沉积产量两个都在过去的50年介绍了重要减少的趋势。降水在一样的时期上显示出一个不足道的减少趋势。年度平均分泌物从2000~2012在黄河的Lanzhou活动范围上面由56.8亿m3减少了;人的活动(例如社会经济的水使用),贡献了43.4%全部的减小自然因素(例如来自湖,沼泽地和水库的蒸发)占了56.6%。在年度分泌物和在Hekouzhen车站和Tongguan车站之间的节的沉积产量的减少分别地是124亿m3和12.4亿吨。分别地,人的活动在分泌物和沉积产量贡献了76.5%全部的减小和72.2%并且因此是在在分泌物和黄河的沉积产量的变化的主导的因素。
