Yellow River management, Yellow River governance or Yellow River engineering (simplified Chinese: 黄河治理; traditional Chinese: 黃河治理) involves constructing hydraulic engineering projects to prevent flood disasters caused by the Yellow River and to harness its water resources. The river, flowing through the Loess Plateau, has been notorious since ancient times for its high sediment content and its propensity to flood and change course.
