Natural and anthropogenic long-term variations of water runoff and suspended sediment load in the Huanghe river.

- Abstract
The hydrographic, climate, hydrological, and landscape features of the Huanghe R. Basin are considered. Water runoff and suspended sediment load in the Huanghe R. are shown to have dropped significantly in 1950-2009 under the effect of regional climate changes and economic activity in the basin. Water balance method and the concept of flow transport competency were used to assess the contribution of natural and anthropogenic factors (decline in precipitation, water withdrawal for economic needs, and the effect of reservoirs) to the decrease in river water runoff and suspended sediment load.
