Figure 13 Floodplain management of different reaches along the LYR.
The floodplain reconstruction scheme of the lower reaches could realize the optimal allocation of sediment resources downstream, which would be conducive to flood control and sediment transport in the LYR. This scheme, together with the XLD reservoir operation mode and flood control works in the lower reaches, could realize long-term stability in the LYR. In addition, through environmental management of the floodplains, the construction of environmental landscapes and economic belts along the Yellow River could provide ecological spaces for the cities, which could improve the quality and competitiveness of urban development and provide an impetus for the sustainable development of the regional economy.
