/Image1979.gif) Fig. 1. Regional map of East and Southeast Asia showing the five major rivers that deliver sediment to the western Pacific Ocean. /Image1980.gif) Fig. 2. Yellow River Basin: (A) major reservoirs and gauging stations on the mainstream, and time-series data (1950-2008) of annual sediment load recorded at stations of Huayuankou, Lijin (B) and at station Toudaoguai (C). Topographic relief of the river basin is produced based on the datasets of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), available at http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/. The area surrounded by dashed line in panel (A) indicates the loess region (data from Durr et al., 2005). Major tributaries in panel (A) are: T1.Weihe River, T2.Jinghe River, T3.Beiluohe River, T4.Yanhe River, T5.Wudinghe River, T6.Kuyehe River and T7.Huangfuchuan River. The gray bars in panels (B) and (C) indicate the starting time of major reservoirs in the Yellow River basin. /Image1981.gif) Fig. 5. Yangtze River Basin: (A) major reservoirs and gauging stations and (B) time-series data (1950s-2008) of annual sediment load recorded at major stations. Since 2002 the sediment loads at Hankou and Datong have become higher than at Yichang, indicating notable sediment supply from the middle and lower channel due to bed scour. Topographic relief of the river basin is produced based on the datasets of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), available at http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/. /Image1982.gif) Fig. 7. Pearl River Basin: (A) major reservoirs and gauging stations, (B) time-series data (1950s.2008) of annual sediment load recorded at stations Gaoyao and Qianjiang, and (C) double-mass plot of cumulative water discharge and cumulative sediment load at station Gaoyao. Topographic relief of the river basin is produced based on the datasets of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), available at http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/. /Image1983.gif) Fig. 8. Red River Basin: (A) major reservoirs and gauging stations, (B) time-series data (1960.2008) of annual sediment load recorded at station Son Tay, and (C) double-mass plot of cumulative water discharge and cumulative sediment load at station Son Tay. Topographic relief of the river basin is produced based on the datasets of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), available at http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/. /Image1984.gif) Fig. 9. Mekong River Basin: (A) constructed and proposed reservoirs and gauging stations, (B) time-series data (1950s.2003) of sediment loads at stations of Gajiu and Jiuzhou in the upper Mekong River and at station Mukdahan in the lower Mekong River, and (C) double-mass plot of cumulative water discharge and cumulative sediment load at station Gajiu. Topographic relief of the river basin is produced based on the datasets of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), available at http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/. /Image1985.gif) Fig. 13. Decadal variations in proportion of (A) water discharge and (B) sediment flux to the western Pacific Ocean from five major rivers in East and Southeast Asia. /Image1986.gif) Fig. 14. Change in total sediment flux from the five major rivers to the western Pacific Ocean at the millennial scale (6000 yr BP to 1950) and decadal scale (1950.2008), illustrating historical increases and recent decreases due to human interventions in the river basins. Sediment flux data at millennial scale are from Milliman et al. (1987), Xue (1993), Ren and Zhu (1994), Saito et al. (2001), Ta et al. (2002a), Tanabe et al. (2006), Wang et al. (2007), Tamura et al. (2009), Zong et al. (2009), and Wang et al. (2010c). /Image1987.gif) Fig. 15. Overview of sediment flux from major rivers in East and Southeast Asia to the western Pacific Ocean. “M&S (1992)” refer to the estimates from Milliman and Syvitski (1992), based on the dataset from the 1950s to the 1970s.
