From: Decline of Yangtze River water and sediment discharge: Impact from natural and anthropogenic changes
Annual temperature (A), precipitation (P) and runoff coefficient (Rc), defined as basin water to precipitation (B), water discharge (Q) and sediment flux (Qs) (C) for the Yangtze Basin and major sub-basins since the 1950s; cumulative area of water-soil conservation (D), cumulative water storage in reservoirs (E) and annual water usage (F) since 1993. QS (non-TGD) is sediment discharge predicted for a non-TGD case. DD, AD and DJD represent the Danjiangkou Dam, Ankang Dam and Dongjiang Dam, respectively.
