The researchers analyzed how the joint operation of Longyangxia and Liujiaxia reservoirs affects the runoff in the upper Yellow River. They studied data from 1950 to 2009 and found that the reservoirs worsen the downward trend in runoff, shift the years of abrupt changes, and impact the periodic variations in runoff levels. The study suggests that the reservoirs' joint operation has a significant influence on the flow of the Yellow River's upper reaches.
