Abstract: In recent years, the water and sediment pattern of the Yellow River has changed significantly, and a preliminary water and sediment regulation system was constructed. Based on a summary of the regulation principles of water and sediment in the Middle Yellow River, this paper proposes three key technologies to determine the water and sediment control thresholds, the artificial creation of a long-distance density current, and an engineering regulation for water and sediment control of the Yellow River. Taking the actual flood and sedimentation regulation of the Yellow River Basin in 2018 as an example, the practical applications of these relevant technologies are analyzed. This study provides an important theoretical and practical reference for the flood and sediment regulation of sediment-laden rivers in arid and semi-arid areas during flood season.
