The article discusses how to manage water resources in the Yellow River basin for sustainable development. The researchers created a model to evaluate different ways of controlling water resources in the area. They considered how well the water was being used and if it was being done in a way that could be sustained over time. By using a combination of different theories, they were able to establish a method to assess the effectiveness of different water resource control options. The study confirmed the feasibility of the model by testing it on 8 different alternatives in the Yellow River basin.
