- Abstract
The article provides information about a study conducted on the spatial variability of hydrologic alterations caused by the dam construction along the middle and lower Yellow River in China for the past five decades. It focuses on the impacts of human activities like dam construction on hydrological processes. It also indicates the results of the study that include the impacts of the Sanmexia reservoir on the hydrologic alteration, the changes on the Xiaolangdi reservoir and the impacts of reservoirs on hydrological processes downstream of the dams. In addition, it discusses climate change as a cause of alterations of streamflow regimes. Moreover, it presents the significance of the study.
