“…In addition, Ma, Li, Feng, and Wang () found that the TDG supersaturation levels were 120% and 123%, respectively, 18 and 44 km downstream from the Manwan Dam, whereas the corresponding DO supersaturation levels were lower. Previous studies have shown that TDG supersaturation downstream of a dam is affected by the type of energy dissipation, the spill rate of the dam, and the water temperature (Shen, Liu, Li, & Ou, ; Feng, Li, Ma, & Wang, ). The Xiangjiaba Dam employs underflow energy dissipation, which causes the TDG supersaturation to be greater than that at the Ertan, Three Gorges and Manwan dams, which use ski‐jump energy dissipation (Politano, Arenas Amado, Bickford, Murauskas, & Hay, ).…”
