How the three Gorges Dam affects the hydrological cycle in the mid-lower Yangtze River: a perspective based on decadal water temperature changes
Three Gorges Dam (TGD), the world’s largest hydroelectric project in terms of installed capacity, alters the discharge and thermal regime of the Yangtze River in China, thereby threatening the aquatic biodiversity along the mid-lower Yangtze River. Thus, the influence of the TGD impoundment on the r...
