Abstract: The river safety improvement project can restore and improve the surrounding ecological environment through measures such as ecological restoration. Based on the grey correlation analysis method, this paper analyses the impact of river safety regulation projects on the surrounding ecological environment. The development stage and existing problems of river safety regulation projects are identified, and the influencing factors are analysed using grey correlation analysis to determine the impact of river safety regulation projects on the surrounding ecological environment. The river safety regulation projects have a positive impact on water quality and terrain, which can stabilise sediment changes in the water area. The experimental results indicate that the river safety improvement project also has a positive impact on the surrounding ecological environment, with the surrounding water pollution index consistently below 0.4 and a relatively small impact on the surrounding terrain loss.

Keywords: river safety regulation projects; surrounding ecological environment; grey correlation analysis method; water quality; influencing factors; stabilise sediment.
