Features: "Maintaining the Healthy Life of the Yellow River" is a new philosophy for river management. Its preliminary theoretical framework is: "Maintaining the Healthy Life of the Yellow River" is the ultimate goal of Yellow River governance. "Dikes remain unbreached, the riverbed does not cease to flow, pollution does not exceed standards, and the riverbed does not rise" are the four main indicators that reflect this ultimate goal. These indicators should be achieved through nine governance approaches, with the construction of "Three Yellow Rivers" serving as the fundamental means to ensure the scientific and effective implementation of all governance approaches. One ultimate goal, four main indicators, nine governance approaches.
Basic Approach of "Three Yellow Rivers": Summarized as the "River Management Strategy of 1493."
This is a large-scale systematic project. Its research and practice not only require natural sciences such as water resources, ecology, and environment but also extensively involve social sciences and humanities, including philosophy, economics, culture, and ecology, among others. It necessitates broad participation and joint efforts from the entire society.
For this very reason, the Yellow River Conservancy Commission has decided to carry out research on cultural and social aspects, such as "River Ethics," while conducting in-depth studies on the theoretical framework and practical system of "Maintaining the Healthy Life of the Yellow River." These studies will be an integral part of the theoretical system of "Maintaining the Healthy Life of the Yellow River."
