Research on Environmental Legal Challenges in Trans-boundary Water Resource Management of the Yellow River Basin

The Yellow River Basin, as a critical water resource supply area in China, faces multiple environmental legal challenges in trans-boundary water resource management. By outlining the characteristics of water resources in the Yellow River Basin, this study reveals the current issues of water scarcity and pollution in the basin. Through case studies, textual analysis, and comparative analysis, the study examines the legal issues associated with these challenges and investigates the causes and potential solutions for transboundary water resource governance in the Yellow River Basin. By reviewing the legal framework, it identifies inconsistencies in application and deficiencies in cooperative mechanisms. The study proposes recommendations to improve legislation, strengthen inter-provincial cooperation, enhance public participation, and enforce environmental accountability, aiming to optimize management and promote sustainable development.
