In recent years, tidal flat reclamation has been carried out outside Pudong airport of Yangtze River Estuary. Considering the particularity of pudong airport location, it is planned to use method of pole reef ecological restoration to restore the tidal flat. The results showed that small water bodies could be formed at the base of pole reef after the implementation of the installation. The length of the overground of pole reef was correlated with the volume of water body (P=0.035), the water content of the sedimentary soil sample was about 45.62%. Through the comparative analysis of the water content of the sedimentary soil samples inside and outside the restoration area in different ways, it is shown that the restoration time affects the water content of the sedimentary soil samples. The water content of the area with a long restoration time of 0 m(48.41%), which is higher than that of the area with a short restoration time of 0 m, which is 40.73%. The water content of the sedimentary soil sample was also affected by the spatial distribution. The water content of the nearshore side of the restoration area was 50.56%, much higher than that of the far shore side, which was 38.22%. The water content of surrounding habitats in the restoration area is affected by the restoration area, which is shown as the water content of the vertical shoreline sample (longitudinal sample) extending outside the restoration area is higher than that of the parallel shoreline sample (transverse sample) extending outside the restoration area. Through the comparison and analysis of the water content of the sedimentary soil samples inside outside the restoration area, the above results show that the electric pole reef ecological restoration technology can have a certain positive impact on the beach habitat, surrounding sedimentary soil and its ecological environment of water content.
