Fig. 7

Sediment flow, and erosion and deposition in the Sanmenxia (Sanmenxia R.) and Xiaolangdi (Xiaolangdi R.) reservoirs and downstream reaches of the Yellow River in (A) the period 1999-2018 and (B) 2019. Blue, erosion; brown, deposition; positive value, gain of sediment flow; negative value, loss of sediment flow; distance in parentheses = length of river reach.
