Abstract

Based on one-dimensional and two-dimensional mathematical coupling models of tidal current and salinity from Datong to Yangtze estuary, the impacting scope of salt intrusion are calculated when the runoff of Datong from 4,500m3/s to 30,000m3/s, and the maximum and average value of salinity at each representative point of the estuary are given. When flow of Datong is less than 10,000 m3/s, if projects of water transfer, pumping and diversion are not taken into account at the lower reaches of Datong, the maximum salinity at the downstream reaches of Xuliujing and the average salinity at the downstream reaches of Baimaosha will exceed drinking water criteria.
