This article describes the changes in shoals in the Upper Jingjiang Reach of the Yangtze River before and after the Three Gorges Project. It discusses the processes affecting sand and gravel bed shoals in the area, focusing on the Lujiahe and Majiazui waterways. The study estimates how these shoals have been altered by the construction of the project.
