The regulating of the Yangtze River may be divided as follows:
a. From the deep-water line of the sea to Whangpoo Junction.
b. From Whangpoo Junction to Kiangyin.
c. From Kiangyin to Wuhu.
d. From Wuhu to Tungliu.
e. From Tungliu to Wusueh.
f. From Wusueh to Hankow.
a. Regulating of the Estuary from Deep-water Line Up to the Junction of Whangpoo
It is a natural law that the obstruction to navigation in all rivers is begun at their mouths, therefore the improvement of any river for navigation must start from the estuary. The Yangtze River is no exception to this rule, therefore to regulate the Yangtze, we must begin by dealing with its estuaries.
The Yangtze has three estuaries, namely: The North Branch lying between the left bank and the Island of Tsungming, the North Channel lying between the Tsungming Island and the Tungsha Banks and the South Channel lying between the Tungsha Banks and the right bank. Henceforth for the sake of convenience I shall call them the North, Middle, and South Channels.
在我计划，以获利为第一原则，故凡所规划皆当严守之。故创造市宅中心于浦东，又沿新开河左岸建一新黄浦滩，以增加其由此计划圈入上海之新地之价值，皆须特为注意者也。盖惟如此办去，而后上海始值得建为深水海港。亦惟为此垂死之港，新造出有价值之土地，然后上海可以与计划港争胜也。究竟救济上海之最重要要素，为解决扬子江口沙泥问题，故整治扬子江水道及河岸一事于此沙泥问题有何影响、有何意义，吾人将于次部论之。
