摘要

This paper reported a dramatic channel incision (>10 m in the deepest cut)during the past 10 y or so in the lower Pearl River, the second largestriver in terms of water discharge in China. The channel incision had causedchanges both in the channel geometry as well as in the river hydraulics.Also, the water exchange between the two major tributaries of the PearlRiver, the Xijiang and Beijiang, had been significantly changed due to thechannel incision. The rapid channel incision was principally the result ofextensive sand mining in the lower Pearl River and the delta region due tothe booming economy in the Pearl Delta region. Slight increase of waterdischarge and significant decrease of sediment load since the early 1990s inboth the Xijiang and Beijiang also likely contributed to the observeddramatic river bed downcutting to some extent. This has importantimplications for river management, as the large Chinese rivers have seen adramatic depletion of sediment fluxes due to the combined effects ofdeclining rainfall, dam constructions, water diversion, reforestation andafforestation, and sediment mining over the recent decades.
