Analysis of the Yellow River water and sediment monitoring data

Abstract

Abstract Graphics are drawn about the sediment content, water flow, and water level of the Yellow River with time. A cluster scatter plot of sand content is made with changes over time. Using variance analysis of a factor, it is concluded that sediment content is affected by two variables month and year. By studying the changing pattern of water-sand flux, the timing diagram of the water and sediment flux of the Yellow River with time is drawn. The flux of water and sand is predicted for the next two years. According to the prediction results, the optimal sampling and monitoring scheme is developed.
