Abstract

In 1938, the Huayuankou Dike Breach played a certain role in blocking the Japanese army westward, but the huge flooding area of the Yellow River was formed and the ecological environment extremely worsened, especially the sand and salt deposited and many other disasters occurred frequently, which not only made people in this region suffered a lot, but also left serious hazard. In recent years, people in the flooded area constructed the farmland shelter belt and farmland water conservancy facilities, decreased the salinity, silted sand and increased the soil fertility. Finally, the environment of the Yellow River Flooding Area is improved.
