Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the release of the Special Issues titled “Yellow River Basin Management Under Pressure: Present State, Restoration and Protection I–Ⅲ”, we received a considerable number of outstanding submissions. These submissions offer in-depth insights into matters concerning ecological environment protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. They illustrate the keen interest and enthusiasm of scholars worldwide in Yellow River-related research.
Presently, challenges such as coordinating human–water relationships, water security, water resource allocation, ecological environment restoration, water pollutant treatment, and the persistence of emerging pollutants continue to hinder the high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. Given this backdrop, we must further pinpoint the key issues that restrict ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin and strive to propose scientific solutions. Herein, we welcome submissions on themes including, but not limited to, the following:
- Current status of and constraining factors affecting the ecological environment of and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin;
- Harmonious regulation of human–water relationships;
- Analysis and prevention of water disasters in the Yellow River Basin;
- Impact of environmental changes on water security and water resource allocation;
- Efficient utilization and optimal allocation of water resources in the Yellow River Basin;
- Ecological restoration and protection in the Yellow River Basin;
- Emerging pollutants issues in the Yellow River Basin;
- Integrated management and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin;
- Opportunities and strategies for Yellow River Basin management;
- AI applications empowering the protection and development of the Yellow River.
