2002-2008年黄河成功地进行了8次调水调沙,经过运行黄河下游河道主河槽河底高程平均下降约1米,最小行洪能力已由1800m3/s提高到3800m3/s。实践证明,黄河调水调沙起到了卓为显著的成效,调水调沙作为处理黄河泥沙、维持黄河健康生命的措施不仅是可行的,而且是有效的。 From 2002 to 2008, the Yellow River successfully carried out 8 times of water and sediment regulation. The average river bottom elevation of the lower reaches of the Yellow River decreased by about 1 meter. The minimum flood discharge capacity has been increased from 1800m3 / s to 3800m3 / s. Practice has proved that the Yellow River water and sediment played Zhuo significant results, water and sediment as a measure to deal with the Yellow River sediment and maintain the healthy life of the Yellow River is not only feasible but also effective.
