Introduction • Landslide is the key influence on sediment delivery in upland river catchments, which controls both amount and characteristics of sediment released. (Al-Sheriadeh et al., 2000; Korup et al., 2004; Johnson et al., 2008) • Landslide is also increasingly considered as a primary factor dominating the turbidity of rivers and reservoirs. (Jordan, 2006; Sobieszczyk et al., 2007)
Introduction • Several studies indicate that much of the sediment produced in upper basins often does not immediately migrate downstream but is instead deposited in the riverbed, resulting in channel aggradation. (Kasai et al., 2004; Koi et al., 2008)

Study method • To study the relationship between water turbidity and the landslide debris of the Shihmen Reservoir. • To reconstruct the process and impact of forming high turbidity water in the reservoir area.
Study method Statistics of Typhoon Suspended Sediment Discharge Turbidity The relationship between turbidity and landslides.
Suspended sediment discharge Turbidity Nephelometer DH-48 depth integrating suspended sediment sampler
Results analysis Fig 7. Higher water discharge could drive more landslide debris. Vertical bars indicate the standard error.
Results analysis Fig 8. Sediment concentration had a positive relation with the water turbidity. Dashed lines indicate the 95% confidence limits.
Discussion Fig 9. The diagram displays the hyperpycnal flow in the Shihmen Reservoir.
Conclusion • High landslide ratios do not correspond to high sediment discharge because sediment discharge is still dominated by water discharge and landslide debris possibly still stay on slopes. • Factors causing high turbidity in the reservoir water were (1) landslides and surface weathering in the upstream catchment; (2) the high density hyperpycnal flow between upstream channel and the reservoir bottom.
