This paper describes the bed evolution characteristics of Dongliu channel in the lower reach of the Yangtze River and analyzes the main influential factors then. It predicts the trend of the bed evolution, and pointis out that although the Donggang channel is in the process of developing, as the cross channel called Xigang is in a shrinking trend, the Xigang channel still has the possibility of recovery. For the main problems at present, in order to accelerate the formation of erosion trends of Xigang channel and improve its navigation conditions, some possible engineering measures have been tested in the fixed bed model. According to the results of the model test, it proposes ideas on the next-step regulation of Dongliu channel.
