Abstract:

A systematical field investigation is carried out in the upper Yellow River valley from Jingtai to Jingyuan reach. Palaeoflood slackwater deposits (SWD) are identified at several sites. The Holocene sediment profile at the site of Jinpingcun (JPC) is chosen for a further study on the palaeoflood hydrology. OSL dating and stratigraphic correlation with Jixian (FJJ) site in the middle reach gorge of the Yellow River show that these extreme palaeoflood events occurred during 3 200-3 000 a B.P., at the time when the climate was at the turn from the Middle Holocene climatic optimum to the Late Holocene dry period. This corresponds to the transition period from Shang Dynasty to Western Zhou Dynasty when many serious drought and flood disasters, harvest failures, and major social changes occurred. The palaeoflood stage is obtained by palaeohydrological methods. The reconstructed palaeoflood peak discharges were 16 110-17 740 m3/s using the slope-area method. Reconstruction of current flood (in 2012.07.31) and comparison with the gauged discharge prove that the hydrological method and hydrological parameters used are reliable. These results are very important to establish the relationship between peak discharge and occurrence frequency by 10 000-year time-scale in Lanzhou to Jingyuan reach. The method is very useful in Hydraulic engineering along the upper Yellow River.

Key words: upper Yellow River, Holocene, palaeoflood, slackwater deposit, hydrology
