Evaluating the Solution to Flood Control by Building Dams in the Yellow River Basin
Abstract
2020). Because of flowing through the loess plateau, it carries a large amount of sediment, with an annual sediment load of 1.6
billion tons, ranking first in the world’s rivers (Wang et al., 2007), which leads to a severe flood threat. To effectively control the
flood, the Chinese government has taken a measure to build dams on the Yellow River. This essay mainly evaluates the feasibility
of this measure. After a combination of multiple criteria for evaluation, it is considered acceptable.
