Subsequently, we constructed the objective function of sediment’s optimal regulation in consideration of flood control, power generation, navigation, and long-term use, and further established the optimal sediment-dispatching model. Furthermore we employed the BP neural network in association with the pre-constructed sediment information base to fit the prediction for the sedimentation and scouring, and present an improved grey-target evaluation method based on non-inferior solution set. Taking the Three Gorges Reservoir as an example, we finally put forward the dynamic operation scheme of “storing clear water and discharging muddy water” in flood season and the long-term staged sediment control strategy. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20201194
