Suggestions on harnessing the Yellow River

1, planting trees and grass, greening the earth, improving local climate, planting trees and grass, expanding vegetation coverage, developing ecological economy, combining resource development with soil and water conservation, conserving soil and water, preventing soil erosion, improving local climate, reducing flood disasters, increasing soil fertility and increasing underground runoff.

2. Controlling population and improving population quality The Yellow River Basin should pay attention to effectively controlling population growth, and at the same time urge citizens to consciously protect the environment and water resources, use water rationally and save water.

3, unified planning, coordinated development of the Yellow River water resources unified management, overall planning of the Yellow River water resources utilization and scheduling scheme, adjust measures to local conditions, give full play to the role of large-scale water conservancy projects in flood storage and runoff.

4. Increase water resource use fees, promote water conservation and implement a system of paid use of water resources, collect water resource use fees according to law, and appropriately raise water prices, so as to stimulate people's water use concepts, awaken water-saving awareness, and avoid or reduce water waste.

Extended data:

The Yellow River problem:

The waste of water resources is amazing: the Yellow River flows through the important agricultural production areas in northern China, and agricultural irrigation water accounts for more than 90% of the total water consumption of the whole river, while the water fee per cubic meter of Huangqu is only 3.6%, which is far lower than the production cost of water supply. Such a low water price naturally cannot arouse people's awareness of water conservation.

There are 5 million hectares of irrigated land in the Yellow River Basin, and the original irrigation methods such as flood irrigation and series irrigation are still the main ones. In some irrigation areas, the average annual total water consumption per hectare is as high as 60 cubic meters. Extensive agricultural production mode makes the effective utilization rate of water resources in the Yellow River less than 40%, and the waste of water resources is amazing.

Serious water pollution: With the rapid increase of population and economic development, the degree of water pollution in the Yellow River basin is increasing year by year, and the water quality is obviously declining, which not only affects human health, but also reduces the development and utilization rate of water resources in the Yellow River, and the contradiction of "water shortage" is more acute.

Greenhouse effect: the greenhouse effect produced by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide accelerates the temperature rise, the evaporation increases, the precipitation decreases and the drought intensifies.
