Discussion

Hydrodynamic modeling reveals water level increases and tidal current changes due to sea level rise in the Yangtze River Estuary.

The impact of sea level rise on water level can be categorized into two distinct segments along the tidal reach.
Average water level increases, although less than the magnitude of sea level rise, vary significantly with river discharge and location.
Tidal current velocity responds positively to sea level rise, indicating changes in tidal dynamics across the estuary.
Wuhu to the estuary simulation shows that rising sea levels not only alter water levels but also tidal flow characteristics.

Yu et al. (2025) studied this question.
