Based on data measured during 1950—2015, the flood-conveying and sediment-transporting capacities were studied by methods of time series analysis and statistical analysis. Analyses showed that, flood-conveying capacities of different sub-reaches of the lower reaches of Yellow River (LYR) were similar. The variances of capacities with time in different sub-reaches were almost constant. The flood-conveying capacity decreased in different stages, and it was closely related to discharge hydrographs from the upper and middle drainage areas. It may also be partially influenced by reservoir regulation, especially the Xiaolangdi Reservoir during water-sediment regulation. For sediment-transporting capacity, capacity of the wandering sub-reach (upper Gaocun) decreased during 1995—2000, and then it showed the increasing trend after 2000. However, the sediment-transporting capacity of the sub-reach downstream Gaocun was almost constant before 1998. After 1998, capacity of Aishan-Luokou sub-reach increased with limited magnitude, and the value for Sunkou-Aishan sub-reach decreased with limited magnitude. In total, the flood-conveying and sediment-transporting capacities decreased. Despite the decreased water runoff and sediment load, deposition in the lower channel made delivering flood and sediment through the channel worse. It indicates that enlarging the capacities of flood-conveying and sediment-transporting is the key aspect of channel regulation in the LYR.
