The shape of the Yellow River Estuary changed significantly due to low flow and sediment levels. A regulation test in 2002 led to a rapid sedimentation of 66.4 million tons, altering the river mouth's stability. By comparing data from before and after the test, researchers calculated the sediment entering the sea and analyzed the estuary's variation.
