STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF SEDIMENT LOADS DISCHARGED FROM HUANGHE RIVER ON SEDIMENTATION IN THE BOHAI AND YELLOW SEAS
During 1951-1980, the annual average amount of sediment loads discharged from the Huanghe River is 1069×106 t/a, which accounts for around 80% of the total sediment load emptied into the Bohai sea and Yellow Sea from rivers except the Changjiang River. It shows that sediment loads discharged from the Huanghe River play the most important role in the sedimentation in this area. However, intensities of their influences were different at different places. About 70% of the total sediment loads from the Huanghe River settled down at the mouth and nearby area and the rest spread toward the sea under influence of the tidal current and wave. In the investigation area, characteristic of sedimentation is unequilibrium, which led different sediments formed at different time to distribut on sea bottom. Sediment loads discharged from the Huanghe River were predominantly loess with abundant CaCO3, which can be used to distinguish their dispersion range and intensity. Their mineral assemblage further indicate the influence of the sediment loads derived from the old and the present Huanghe River. Investigation indicates that the influence of sediment loads derived from the Huanghe River on the Bohai Bay and on the center of the Bohai Sea is stronger than on the Laizhou Bay. The spatial distribution of suspended matte:r, which indicates the transport processes of sediment loads discharged from river, has proved this conclusion. The annually average amount of sediment emptied into the Yellow Sea through the Bohai Strait is estimated to be about 5-10 million tons. Most of that was transported round the Chengshan Cape to the west along the south coast of the Shandong Peninsula to the Laoshan Bay. A small part of that was dispersed to the center of the Yellow Sea and deposited together with sediments derived from other sources forming fine grain sediment there, and the rest was tranported to the East China Sea.
