| Abstract | In the present study, sediment transport analysis was carried out in the upper part of Red
River network. The main objective is to access the impact of Hoa Binh Reservoir on the
morphological changes in downstream courses. Using annual sediment load measured at
gauging stations along Red River, sediment budget balance was calculated. On the other
hand, a sediment routing model (HEC-6 model) was applied to simulate the deformation
of the riverbed under the effect of Hoa Binh Reservoir's operation. A fairly good
agreement between the model and prototype during the calibration period has been
achieved. Ultimate conclusions from the present study can be stated as follows: a) Since
Hoa Binh Reservoir was first closed, the equilibrium conditions in downstream courses
have been seriously violated; b) The bed degradation process of Da River will still occur
with a decelerating rate; c) Coming with the degradation on Da river is the aggradation
process in the river segment from Lo-Hong confluence to Son Tay. This situation would
create the negative impact on the flood conveyance capacity, as well as difficulties in
irrigation drainage and water supplies in the coming years. |
