Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ecological protection and high-quality development in the basin of the Yellow River, which is known as China's "Mother River" and "the cradle of Chinese civilization", have been receiving increasing attention because they play an important role in China's economic and social development and its cultural heritage. Under ongoing climate change and intense human activities, the Yellow River basin is facing crucial challenges, e.g., flooding, water security, water resources shortage, water pollution, and ecological environment degradation, which seriously affect the sustainable development of regional economy and society. Meanwhile, significant differences in key characteristics across the upper, middle, and lower reaches call for joint management efforts, including integrated management, water conservancy, and ecological environment restoration. This Special Issue focuses on the current state, challenges, and suggestions relating to Yellow River basin management and sustainable development under pressure, aiming to help improve ecological protection and achieve high-quality development. We invite submissions in, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Current state and characteristics of Yellow River basin management;
- Opportunities, challenges, and countermeasures of Yellow River management;
- Influence of changing environment on the characteristic of Yellow River;
- Impacts of changing environment on water security and water resources shortage;
- Restoration and protection in the Yellow River basin under pressure;
- Harmonious regulation of human–water relationship;
- Integrated management under changing environment.
