Furthermore, we proposed engineering measures such as combining dyke and canal, and controlling reservoir water level to create conditions for density flow. Practice proved that the proposed measures are of remarkable desilting effect. This research offers theoretical basis and practical experience for the desilting of reservoir by density flow. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20170355
