Abstract

This chapter delves into the historical and contemporary challenges of flood prevention along the Yellow River, often referred to as 'China's Sorrow'. It explores the causes of frequent and devastating floods, the role of sediment deposition in exacerbating flood risks, and the strategies implemented to mitigate these events. The text provides a detailed overview of flood frequency and its causes, highlighting the transition from climate-dominated to human-dominated influences over time. It also examines the effectiveness of various flood mitigation measures, including soil and water conservation in the middle basin, the role of reservoirs in managing water and sediment, and the construction and maintenance of levees along the lower channel. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the importance of coordinated efforts in managing flood hazards in the Yellow River basin, emphasizing the need for integrated approaches that address both water and sediment management.
