Abstract
Water temperature stratification within reservoirs underflows and the chilling injury caused by the discharged low-temperature water flows pose one of the primary concerns for both eco-environmental conservation and hydropower operation.It is therefore,study on impacts on eco-environmental from reservoirs underflows temperatures appear to be practically useful.The paper begins with simulation study of reservoir water temperature,reviews the development in water temperature models and software in home and abroad,then examines the primary approaches for structural discrimination and calculation of reservoir water temperature.Emphasis are placed on eco-environmental impacts from reservoir water temperature as well as the mitigation measures.Furthermore,the status quo,exiting problems in China are examined.Finally,the paper concludes with suggestions for future reservoir water temperature study.
