Are there any English articles about "Protecting the Yellow River"

The Yellow River is the second longest river in China after the Yangtze River, with a total length of 5,464 kilometers. It flows through the nine provinces of Qinghu, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Suiyuan, western Shanxi, western Shanxi, Henan and Shandong in a zigzag shape, and flows into the eastern Bohai Sea, where it merges with many Sichuan rivers to form a main tributary, with a valley area of more than 750,000 square kilometers. A section of the territory flows through a large area of the Loess Plateau, and many tributaries carry a large amount of sediment into it. It is the river with the largest sediment concentration in the world, and the river is yellow, hence its name.

Historically, the Yellow River flowing through cities often became a disaster. According to records, over the past 2000 years, the lower reaches of the Yellow River have broken more than 500 dikes 1. 500, and there have been 26 large-scale diversions. The flood disaster area reaches Tianjin in the north and Jiangsu and Anhui in the south, reaching 250,000 square kilometers. The total amount of sediment carried by the river to the downstream is more than1.600 million metric tons per year on average. Due to the low-lying downstream, the river course descends gently, and the flow velocity turns low, a large amount of sediment is deposited on the river bed, with an average of more than 400 million metric tons per year, and the rest of the sediment flows to the estuary, forming a delta that flows into the sea in the estuary delta, with an average of 6 buildings of more than 20 square kilometers built every year. The Yellow River basin is rich in fertile and primitive fertile land, with magnificent mountains and rivers. The number of residents accounts for a quarter of the total population of China, while the cultivated land accounts for 40% of the whole country.
