| Abstract: | Soil loss, water shortage, flooding, sedimentation and water pollution are the major problems affecting the sustainable development
of the Yellow River basin. Their impacts and management strategies are briefly discussed in this paper. The integrated management
strategy, which includes one ultimate goal, four standards, nine countermeasures, and the concept of “three Yellow Rivers,”
is a contemporary management strategy and represents the vision of the Chinese government and engineers for the sustainable
development of the Yellow River basin. |
