The study analyzed the runoff in the Yellow River upstream and main tributaries. It found that most of the runoff comes from precipitation, with some from groundwater and snow/ice melt. Runoff varies across different areas due to underlying surface conditions. Over time, there has been a decrease in runoff, especially during the flood season. The overall trend since 1986 has been a decline in runoff at the Lanzhou station.
