Abstract:In recent years, the continuous silting of sediment in the Yellow River has intensified the "secondarysuspended river"in the lower reaches. Floods of moderate or larger scale are prone to flow downstream along the dykes,and in severe cases, even river migration may occur. Therefore, the treatment of the secondary suspended river isextremely necessary and urgent. Based on the above phenomenon,this paper proposes two treatment schemes: dykechannel hack-filling and prolective dam construction. A comparative analysis is conducted from five aspects: treatmenteffect, project construction investment, resettlement and land acquisition, material source, and project management.Thecomprehensive analysis results show that the dyke channel back-filling method for the treatment of the secondarysuspended river is both economically reasonable and technically feasible.
