The Loess Plateau is an area of around 640,000 km² spanning the upper-middle reaches of the Yellow River. The workshop put forward two recommendations for using water more efficiently and rehabilitating the ecology: starting the western line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and building the third ecological shield in the Yellow River, Huai River and Hai River basins.
