bankfull

The bankfull discharge and corresponding sediment concentration is estimated through the above method.

It deems through study that the main channel of the Yellow River will be obviously scoured only when flood discharge reaches to 1.5 times of bankfull discharge.

Using the proposed method, the reach-scale bankfull discharges are estimated in the reach between Huayuankou and Gaocun in typical years of the period from 1960 to 2006.
