Social and economic development will influence the nature environment and lead to ecological problems, among which the ecological flow concerns the food chain and fish populations. Although there are many computation formulas for counting ecological flow, it is very difficult to unite and get reasonable values. According to the existing research of ecological flow, the concept and calculation method of ecological flow are analyzed, which shows that in a complex ecological system, ecological water requirement is difficult to meet the requirements of all the protection object of water requirement at the same time. Therefore, we should focus on the specific fish with reference value to build ecological protection object and determine the ecological flow. Furthermore, the ecological flow should be the regulation of water quality and water quantity in time and space. Using hydraulic method, the fish living space under different water flow environments can be determined, and specific time and space regulation schemes can be obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
