Abstract

The Yellow River basin, a vital energy and mineral reserve in China, faces severe environmental degradation due to extensive mining and oil production. This chapter delves into the key environmental impacts of these activities, focusing on coal mining, non-ferrous metal mining, and oil production. It highlights the severe soil erosion, water contamination, and air pollution caused by these industries, as well as the long-term ecological damage they inflict. The chapter also explores various restoration strategies, including revegetation, soil remediation techniques, and the reuse of mining waste. It concludes that while restoration is challenging, comprehensive environmental protection measures and long-term efforts are essential to mitigate the damage and restore the region's ecosystems. The chapter provides a detailed overview of the environmental impacts and restoration strategies, making it a valuable resource for professionals seeking to understand and address these critical issues.
