The Yellow River has water scarcity and severe pollution issues, creating a big challenge for protecting its water resources. New laws offer a chance to improve conservation efforts. By setting up a system combining legal and social aspects for managing water protection, enforcing regulations, controlling pollution levels, and monitoring water quality, progress can be made. Establishing a rapid response system for major pollution incidents, enhancing water resource research, and fostering innovation in water quality monitoring are all important strategies. Building an information system for managing water resources and collaborating across different government departments to combat pollution are essential steps in safeguarding the Yellow River's water resources.
