sediment transport and fluvial processes of rivers are increasingly affected.
Figures 6.31 (a) and (b) show the variation of the annual water and sediment load from 1960 to 1997
at Xiaolangdi and Lijin hydrologic stations, in which the horizontal lines represent the average runoff
and sediment load. The differences between the figures at the two stations are due to the inflow from

Sanmenxia Dam) and (b) Lijin (900 km from Sanmenxia Dam). The differences between the two stations are due to the
inflow from tributaries and water diversions
