Prediction and Impact of Supersaturated Total Dissolved Gas in Flood Discharge of Flood Control Reservoirs in Southwest Mountain Areas: A Case Study in Jiangjiakou Reservoir by ZHANG Zhihao, ZHANG Peng, LIANG Ruifeng, WANG Qingfeng, WANG Yuanming, LI Kefeng

“…With the transportation and dissipation of TDG under the dam, the TDG concentration of each river section under each condition is lower than 115%, except the river reach between Jiangjiakou dam site and river section downstream of the dam with a distance of 2.7 km (the surface spillway to discharge the flood once in five years) and the river reach between dam site and Tongjiang river confluence (the bottom outlet discharge cavity to discharge the flood once every five years); ② In all four flood discharge scenarios, supersaturated TDG will not have adverse effects on the silver carp; and ③ the hydrodynamics shows that the water depths of the river reaches downstream of dam meet the compensation water depth for Rock carp under all scenarios, and this species will not be affected by supersaturated TDG after using the compensation water depth. …”
