In order to find a simple, continuous method to determine the suspended sediment concentration in a high turbidity region, experiments were conducted to look for relationships between suspended sediment concentration and electrical conductivity. Sediments were sampled from the Yellow River Delta and a conductivity sensor was used to measure the electrical conductivity of different sediment content seawater. The influencing factors such as temperature and salinity are also investigated. The results show that good linear relationships exist between suspended sediment concentration and electrical conductivity; salinity and temperature have some influence on electrical conductivity, and salinity is the most important influencing factor and temperature takes the second place. Basically, the general linear regression formulas between suspended sediment concentration and electrical conductivity can be drawn with variable salinity and temperature. The relationships suggest that it is feasible to measure suspended sediment concentration in situ using electrical conductivity sensors.

Multi-object application and water and sediment regulation of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir since 2001 have changed the flow and sediment conditions entering the Lower Reaches of Yellow River and the Estuary. Field flow and sediment data at Lijin Hydrological Station and river cross section elevation data downstream from Lijin Section during 2001~2010 have shown that the Estuary have been in a state of little scouring. The 2D mathematical model has been used to study the flow and sediment conditions for the Yellow River Estuary balance. The conclusions have arrived at that total annual water volume is 196 × 108 m3, total annual sediment volume is 1.40~1.70×108 t, coarse sediment concentration is 3kg/m3.
