Abstract: Based on summarization of the traditional measures of sediment treatment and the problems raised from the long-term development of irrigation system along the Lower Yellow River, this paper emphasizes on the harmful siltation in irrigation channels and the need for proper countermeasures for the problem of long distance transport of sediment. The approach of the sediment management should not be an individual measure, but a comprehensive system including sediment utilization, sediment treatment and sediment transportation. Some successful examples are presented to demonstrate the appropriate management of utilization, treatment and transportation of sediment.
