Case 3. Sedimentation in the Danjiangkou Reservoir
The Danjiangkou Reservoir was constructed on the Hanjiang River, China, in 1968.
Because the tributary Danjiang River joins the Hanjiang River just upstream of the
dam, the Danjiangkou Reservoir has two branches with nearly equivalent storage
capacities, as shown in Fig. 5.23. Although there are water and sediment exchanges
between the two branches during flood seasons, the interactions are negligible for the
