Abstract

By using the data surveyed, the influence of the channel dredging and improvement on the Dongping waterway is analyzed. Because of the channel dredging and improvement, the hydrological conditions of the waterway have changed greatly, including the flood water line, the relation between water level and flow, the flux distribution, and the channel deposition and erosion etc. That is very important for the lower reaches of the Beijiang River in the Pearl River Delta. It is thought that channel training is one of the effective ways to reduce flood disasters in the Pearl River Delta.
