The study looked at how the Three Gorges Project affected the Jingjiang River, causing erosion and changes in the river's flow. By using a model test, researchers studied the erosion and sediment buildup in the river from Yangjianao to Haoxue. They found that the changes could impact flood control, navigation, and the environment in the area. The results can help with future planning and design of projects to manage the river.
