Jet flow cleaning reduces sedimentation, stabilizes river elevation, and boosts capacity.

Coastal Reservoirs

The study looked at how using spring floods can help lower the elevation of Tongguan. The researchers found that over 4 years, the elevation was reduced by 0.11 meters. After 3 years of testing, the elevation was 0.19 meters lower than without the test. The spring flood not only lowered the elevation but also improved sediment distribution in the area, helping to balance out erosion and sediment buildup.
