Abstract: Given out in this paper is the successful experience in improvement of navigation channels in Pearl River, the largest river in South China. It is composed of 3 rivers and empties into the sea through 8 outlets、The reach to be improved is at the conjunction zone for the West and the North Rivers. Many Kinds of shoals grown there, and the flow condition is very complicated. Further more, it is one of the main stems for flood disposal. The improvement is therefore very difficult. The success is achieved after collecting a lot of hydrological and topographical data to reveal the causes of shoal-growth. The engineering measure is planned according to the features of the channel, resulting in good effectiveness.
