Abstract: In this paper, the minimum water requirement for sediment transport in a river has been derived by considering watercourse degradation or aggradation, water diversion and sediment diversion. The minimum water requirement for sediment transport of the Lower Yellow River has been calculated based on hydrological data of 1950 -- 1957. The minimum total water requirement for sediment transport of the Lower Yellow River has been estimated for ideal sediment transporting conditions after Xiaolangdi Project is completed.
