Short summary
We report the discovery, examination and interpretation of a unique type of data source, i.e., the 19th century monthly water level observation of a reservoir named Lake Machang on the Grand Canal in China. The water level changes of the reservoir on monthly and annual scales were compared with relevant precipitation and hydrology chronologies. The relationship of the evolution of the reservoir with the flooding of the Yellow River and reclamation is discussed.
