The history of reservoir operation presents a shift from maximizing its operation benefits to balancing both economic and environmental concerns. Currently, almost all of research aims to lower the environmental impacts, focusing only on one specific aspect of the research target, such as incorporating environmental flow into existing reservoir operation rules. A system Dynamics-based Simulation Approach (SDSA-TGR) was developed for the three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in China to address restoring a healthy downstream riverine ecosystem and maintaining a stable reservoir riverbank system and sustainable water use of the reservoir itself-sediment evacuation.
