Yellow River Basin Management under Pressure: Present State, Restoration and Protection II: Lessons from a Special Issue
Summary
This review assessed the current state of the Yellow River Basin's water environment, covering sediment dynamics, pollution loads, and restoration challenges, along with management interventions aimed at improving ecological conditions. The authors document improvements from recent restoration policies but identify persistent pressures from agriculture, industry, and climate change threatening the basin's long-term water security.
This Special Issue is the second edition following the publication of the first Issue, “Yellow River Basin Management under Pressure: Present State, Restoration and Protection”, in 2021 [...]

[Microplastics pollution in the Yellow River basin: current status and control strategy].
This review summarizes microplastic contamination in the Yellow River basin, finding that pollution increases from upstream to downstream with the highest concentrations in the Yellow River Delta wetland, and that both sediment and surface water are impacted at levels posing risks to aquaculture and human health.
Spatiotemporal Variations of Water Eutrophication and Non-Point Source Pollution Prevention and Control in the Main Stream of the Yellow River in Henan Province from 2012 to 2021
This is not a microplastics study; it tracks water quality and eutrophication in the Yellow River in Henan Province over a decade, finding improvements linked to pollution control policies and identifying agricultural runoff as the dominant non-point source of contamination outside the flood season.
Identifying the characteristics of and factors driving spatiotemporal water quality variations in the Yellow River Basin, China, from 2008 to 2020
This study analyzed water quality data from the Yellow River Basin in China from 2008 to 2020, identifying pollution sources and spatial trends across the watershed. While focused on general water quality rather than microplastics specifically, such assessments provide important context for understanding pollution dynamics in large river systems.
Landscape Ecological Risk Assessment Based on Land Use Change in the Yellow River Basin of Shaanxi, China
Researchers assessed landscape ecological risk in the Yellow River Basin of Shaanxi, China using land use change data, finding that fragmentation and conversion of natural habitats driven by urbanization and agriculture have substantially increased ecological risk across the basin over recent decades.
Sustainable water resources development and management in large river basins: an introduction
Researchers introduced a thematic issue on sustainable water resource management across four major Asian and African river basins — the Yellow, Yangtze, Indus, and Nile — summarizing water quality challenges and outlining research priorities for balancing human development needs with long-term water security.
