Since 1950 s, the planning of Heishanxia reach of the Yellow River has been nearly 70 years old. In the long-term demonstration process, relevant departments and local governments put forward a number of different development schemes according to the situation and research results in different periods. In view of the different viewpoints of different subjects on the functional orientation and development scheme of the river reach, no decision has been made so far. This paper reviewed the main planning demonstration process of Heishanxia reach of the Yellow River. From the point of view of ensuring the long-term safety of the Yellow River water resources and building the national water network system of “four-horizontal and three-vertical”, this paper puts forward some opinions on the possible development schemes and the issues that need to be further studied.

In order to expedite the transition of the Yellow River Simulator into the operational phase and quickly make use of its positive role in the difficulties of water resources shortage, economic imbalance and ecological fragility in the Yellow River Basin, an intelligent calculation method system for the Yellow River Simulator had been thoroughly sorted out and implemented. Drawing upon the concept of intelligent computing, the vital importance of the Yellow River Simulator’s intelligent computing was articulated from the perspectives of data storage and preprocessing, simulation computing power, and swift responsiveness, as well as its significance in ecological conservation and management, efficient water resources utilization and disaster evaluation and mitigation. Based on the architectural framework of the Yellow River Simulator, four branches of intelligent computing methods, namely biomimetic intelligent computing, machine learning, fuzzy computing and intelligent computation were summarized in detail. Envisioning the transformative potential of intelligent computation methodologies for the Yellow River Simulator, this paper explored its huge application prospects in development planning, disaster management and resources allocation.

In order to scientifically analyze the coordination degree between various water use processes, this paper proposed the coordination degree indicator to quantify the multiple water use process coordination degree based on the competition and cooperation relationship of multiple water users. Taking the Yellow River Basin as the study area, this paper quantified the long-term evolution process of cooperation degree, competition degree and coordination degree among 3 water use processes ( off-stream water supply, in-stream sediment transport water and instream ecological water). The results show that during 1988-2019, the cooperation degree is low ( mean value 0.06) while the competition degree is high ( mean value 0.33) ; the coordination degree changes between 0.10-0.82 ( mean value 0.46) ; the coordination degree shows a trend of increasing-decreasing-increasing after 2002, and the mutation points are 2012 and 2016; natural runoff, unified water regulation and reservoir operation mode impact the coordination degree of multiple water use processes in the Yellow River Basin. Under the influence of runoff attenuation and water use growth, the low coordination degree of multiple water use processes will exist for a long time in the Yellow River Basin.

Affected by the rare autumn rain in West China, severe autumn floods occurred in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in 2021. In the face of the flood situation, in accordance with the principle of “system, overall planning, science and safety”, with the concept of comprehensively balancing flood storage and release space and reasonable sharing of flood risk as the dispatching concept, through the fine dispatching water project, Huayuankou twice more than 10000 m³/s flood had been reduced to about 4800 m³/s, successfully fighting the autumn flood. During the autumn flood season, there were no major dangers, major disasters or casualties, ensuring the safe flow of flood waters into the sea, preventing the displacement of 1.4 million people and the inundation of 266 thousand hectares of farmland in the downstream flood-plain, and ensuring the safety of people’s lives and property in the downstream flood-plain. This paper briefly introduced the situation of autumn flood control in 2021, summarized the concept of this flood control, and put forward the understanding of doing a good job in autumn flood control and prevention.

During the autumn flood season of 2021, rainstorms occurred frequently in the main and tributaries of the Yellow River, and three numbered floods followed, with rare flood history. This paper summarized the characteristics of this autumn flood from the aspects of rainfall, water, flood and reservoir operation and lists historical autumn floods for comparison. Around the three numbered floods of the Yellow River, through the changes of inflow and outflow and water level of Sanmenxia, Xiaolangdi, Luhun, Guxian and Hekoucun reservoirs in the regulating process, it was calculated that the peak clipping of the "five-reservoir joint regulation" in the three floods was 49.29%, 46.10% and 47.84% respectively. The flood detention effect was Xiaolangdi > Sanmenxia > Guxian > Luhun > Hekoucun. Through the analysis, it is concluded that the local river flat flow in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is less than 5,000 m³/s, which is the most critical factor restricting reservoir operation and downstream flood control safety. Suggestions are put forward to improve the flood capacity of the lower reaches of the river at the bayou section so as to open the operation space of cascade reservoirs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The most parts of the Yellow River basin are located in the dry and semi-dry area. In order to meet the national strategy requirements of ecological protection and high quality development in the Yellow River basin, the water resources must be regarded as the maximum rigid constraint in economic and social development so that the social efficiency of limited water resources can be maximized. For relieving a tense water supply in the basin, legislation on economic and intensive use system of water resources should be made. Thus, the paper systematically summarized the relative water resources economic and intensive use systems at the levels of nation, basin and provinces （regions). These systems were further grouped by the four systems of total water use control, quota management, economic incentives and supervision and check-up. The problems raised during the implementation process of the four systems were analyzed. It put forward five legislative suggestions, including defining the rights and obligations between watershed management institutions and local government, strict water intake permit management, establishing a mandatory water quota system, improving the market incentive mechanism and improving the supervision and evaluation system for the economical and intensive use of water resources.

The joint operation of Xiaolangdi Reservoir with Sanmenxia Reservoir and tributary reservoirs after the completion of Xiaolangdi Reservoir marks the basic completion of the downstream flood control and disaster reduction project system. However, for the Yellow River beach area, which has always been emphasized as the space for flood detention and sediment deposition, the reservoir flood control operation has set the goal of ensuring that the beach area is not filled with water for many years. Taking the autumn flood in recent four years, including 2021, as an example, this paper showed that it was more difficult to block and stagger the peak of the reservoir after the superposition of a variety of adverse factors, especially when the inflow of trunk tributaries was encountered. In order to solve this problem, it was considered that under the specific restriction of Huayuankou flow. Sanmenxia Reservoir should be allowed to stop the flood, transition to the non flood season pool level in advance, help Xiaolangdi Reservoir reserve the storage capacity under the maximum allowable water level, and skillfully stagger the flood discharge. When necessary, the temporary storage water level of Sammenxia Reservoir could break through to reduce the safe ty risk of high water level of Xiaolangdi dam. In addition, under the current situation that the amount of sediment entering the reservoir de creased greatly. The operation mode of Sanmenxia Reservoir should be adjusted and improved, strive to make this pearl of the Yellow River shine again, improve the downstream flood control engineering system, give play to the role of optimizing the allocation of water resources, and provide safety guarantee for downstream flood control, disaster reduction and high-quality development.

Taking water resources as the maximum rigid constraint has become the inevitable requirement for strengthening water resources conservation, intension, scheduling and management in the Yellow River and promoting high-quality economic and social development under the new situation. On the basis of analyzing the situation and main crux of water resources management in the Yellow River, aiming at the problems of congenital water shortage, over-exploitation of water resources, excessive water use, low efficiency of water use and weak awareness of water saving in the basin, this paper put forward a two-step path of economical and intensive scheduling and management of water resources. Through the strict dynamic supervision of water withdrawal, the bi-directional efforts of constraint inve rsion on the demand side and optimization and upgrading on the supply side should be strengthened. Then, the rigid constraint of water resources should be implemented in five aspects of mission responsibility, bottom line thinking, legal system, precision management and informatization, so as to promote the transformation of water use mode, and promote the adaptation of economic and social development to water resources carrying capacity.
