Revolutionary Plan to Save Yellow River: Creating Normal Channel for Healthier Future
The Yellow River's condition is worsening due to changes in water and sediment levels and human activities. By regulating sediment discharge, a normal channel with a bankfull discharge of 4000 m3/s can be created in the lower Yellow River. This can be achieved through the Xiaolangdi Reservoir and 5~8 years of channel efforts. The study focuses on the river's health, technical support, mathematical models, and joint operation of water control works to reduce sediment and shape a normal channel.
