In this paper, temporal All Times Cited Counts trends and frequency changes at three major stations of Yangtze River, i.e. Yichang, Hankou and Datong representing upper, middle and lower reaches, 146 in All Databases respectively, were detected with the help of parametric t-test, Mann-Kendall (MK) analysis and wavelet transform methods. The results show that: (1) there 129 in Web of Science Core Collection is a significant upward trend in streamflow at middle Yangtze River, indicating that flood hazard in the middle reach of the river, the flood rich region, will be 43 in BIOSIS Citation Index more serious; (2) there is a consistent increase of water level from upper to lower reaches of the river which does not always coincide with the maximum 23 in Chinese Science Citation Database streamflow variations; and (3) the periods of water level changes are decreasing over time, indicating the increasing occurrence frequency of annual maximum water level over time. This phenomenon is more obvious from upper Yangtze River to the lower Yangtze River. Human activities like destruction 0 in Data Citation Index of vegetation, land reclamation and construction of levees reduced lake sizes and filled up the river bed, reducing the flood storage capacity of lakes and 0 in Russian Science Citation Index fluvial channel. These factors led to higher water level even some times the streamflow is small. Human should adjust his activity to enhance his adaptive 0 in SciELO Citation Index capacity to flood hazard in the future. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
