The invention relates to a method for dredging and management, which belongs to the techniques of environment protection and hydraulic engineering. The method comprises the following steps of: protecting dikes along both shores of a river by a light and hard shell dike method; arranging a nose dike in the middle position of the gradually-wide section of the river along the upstream end of a longitudinally ridged sand sill; according to the shape of the sand sill, hard shell sheet piles gradually extending to the downstream along both sides of the nose dike to form an aequilate river surface; inserting sheet piles, connecting the sheet piles into a whole, throwing the dredged mud into a range surrounded by the hard shell sheet piles, and then gradually forming a man-made island; marking a helix-shaped man-made bay on the downstream of the gradually-narrow section of the river to form a fixing sand point on the sudden-widen river; and then planting and fixing sand on the man-made island. The invention aims to satisfy the functions of flood discharge, tide suppressing, irrigation, water storage and navigation, and also can establish stable man-made islands and marsh parks. The invention has the advantages of dike stabilization, reduction of sand accretion, utilization of natural energy, and increase of earth resources, and is suitable for various types of river management.
