Abstract
In this paper, the sediment series used in the feasibility study of the Three Gorges Reservoir is again analyzed. It is found that the portion of coarse sediment in the series was under estimated, which might cause less deposition in the numerical model results in the upper fluctuating backwater reaches of the reservoir.
