Abstract: This study disclosed the variation of sediment fluxes through the worldwide second largest sediment routing system by constructing the sediment budget of the system over the period from 1855 to 1968. The results show that the overall incoming sediment over that period was 1878×108t,and 62%  and 32% of the incoming sediment deposited in the lower Yellow River and in the  delta respectively. It was also shown that the percentage of sedimen t deposited in the lower Yellow River changed with the construction of dykes,the  promotion of flood prevention capacity of dykes, dam construction,and use of water and sediment in recent periods. Over the period from 1855 to 1968 the total mass of sediment deposited on the delta was 609×108t, accounting for 84% of the sediment carried down to the river mouth. The effect of time scale on the estimated proportion of sediment deposited on the delta was found to b e noticeable.

Abstract: The paper proved that seabuckthorn-planting across the flowing direction as a kind of frame material for sediment retention dam was feasible in branch gully in soft rock region on loess plateau through analyzing the experimental data from field and indoor model. The mechanism is that plant stick, branch and leaves can scatter strand flow so as to reduce the stress of flow
to gully bed and retained a lot of coarse sediment. Meanwhile, the paper established a theoretical frame of sediment retention by plant.

Abstract: The sediment transport capacity in the Lower Yellow River channel is capable of self adjustment according to the incoming water discharge and sediment content. The total water requirement for sediment transport in the Lower Yellow River is the reflection of this self-adjustment. In this paper, the  minimum water requirement for sediment transport in the river has been analyzed  by using field data collected at several stations during 19491953 Based on this analysis, minimum total annual water requirement for sediment transport in the  Lower Yellow River has been estimated for a 20-year period after Xiaolangdi Project is completed.

Abstract: Recent years the quantity of fluvial sediments into the sea has been reduced due  to the building of dams in the main stream and tributaries of the upper Changji ang River,especially the building of the Three Gorge dam.This will result in the  decrease of deposition rate of tidal flat and the increase of the length of the erosion shore.This paper analyses the situation of siltation and erosion in different districts of tidal flat in Shanghai and the relationship among the explo itation and ulitization of tidal flat,wetland protection,and waterways regulation.It also provides the key points in conducting siltation and reclamation in dif ferent districts of tidal flat.It is suggested that the current good opportunity  should be grasped to enhance the exploitation in the middle and lower tidal flat.

Key words: Shanghai; tidal flat; reclamation
