چکیده انگلیسی


• The streamflow was mainly from above LZ and sediment discharge was TDG–TG section.
• The hydrological time series exhibited a significant decreasing trend.
• The transition years of hydrological time series were detected in 1985 and 1979.
• Many times cycle oscillations led to the alternate change in hydrological series.
• Human activities reduction rates were more than 50% for hydrological series.

ObjectivesUnder the background of global climate change, variations in streamflow and sediment discharge in the Yellow River would continue with intensified human activities and changes in the ecological environment. To harness the Yellow River, analyzing the degrees of change and the reasons for the streamflow and sediment discharge, as well as predicting the future trends, are urgently needed.MethodsIn this paper, the non-parametric Mann–Kendall test, Sen's estimator of slope, Pettitt's test and wavelet transform were applied to detect the trends, the magnitude of the trends and the abrupt changes and periodic variation in streamflow and suspended sediment discharge at eight hydrological stations from 1950 to 2013 along the mainstream of the Yellow River.ResultsOver the past 64 years (1950–2013), the spatial distribution of the annual average streamflow was of the “M” type, and the annual average suspended sediment discharge had a parabolic curve shape along the mainstream of the Yellow River. The temporal variation showed a distinct decreasing trend in streamflow since the 1990s and in suspended sediment discharge since the 1980s. Many cycles of oscillations occurred in the streamflow and suspended sediment discharge variation, leading to an alternate change in the wet/dry periods and the high/low sediment discharge periods.ConclusionsIn various regions of the Yellow River Basin since the 1970s, climate changes contributed reductions of 17.0–45.0% and 12.2–50.3% for streamflow and suspended sediment discharge, respectively, whereas human activities contributed reductions of 55.0–83.0% and 49.7–87.8%. Therefore, human activities were the major causes of the significant decline in the streamflow and the suspended sediment discharge of the Yellow River over the past six decades. Reasonable and possible measures should be taken to achieve water resources optimization and configuration and to promote watershed management and sustainability in the regions of the Yellow River Basin.
