View To Present Situation Of River Control Development And Existing Issues On The Yellow River

Based on the brief review of the historical course on the Yellow River harness and development, this paper highly appraises river - control stratagem and achievements in recent years, such as "Three Yellow River" construction, water and sand regulating experiment and so forth. For the Yellow River is a sandy river, the difficulty and sticking point lies in the sediment during operation and development of the Yellow River, a great deal of sediment deposited seriously in the lower reach and formed "suspended river", which directly threatens the people' s safety along the two banks, so always called "serious trouble" of Chinese nationality. Recently, some new problems on water shortage, flow cutoff, serious water pollution, etc. occurred in the Yellow River Basin. Therefore, it is still long - term primary task for flood control and deposition reduction on the Yellow River, meanwhile, it is urgent to strengthen water resources protection, enhance water use efficiency and gradually establish new - type watershed and water resources management system which is suitable for actual and practical situation in China, as a result to resolve water shortage problem thoroughly in the Yellow River Basin.
