《維持黃河健康生命(英文)》主要內容：河流孕育瞭人類文明，但人類在發展的過程中卻造成瞭對河流的傷害，並為此付齣瞭代價。一個時期以來，黃河存在且日益嚴重的主河槽淤積、萎縮。“二級懸河”形勢嚴峻，水資源供求矛盾尖銳，水汙染加劇等問題，無不反映齣黃河的生存危機。因此，作者提齣黃河治理的終極目標是維持黃河健康生命，據此建立瞭“1493”治河體係。同時，還就調水調沙不同模式，黃河洪水的控製、利用、塑造，粗泥沙控製的“三道防綫”，構建黃河水沙調控體係，以及黃河下遊河道治理等內容進行瞭闡述。

Rivers have bred the civilization of Homo sapiens，who in the process of their development caused harmsto rivers and paid prices for such deeds. For a long periodof time， the Yellow River has been suffering from suchproblems as ever-deteriorating sedimentation andshrinkage of the main channel， pressing situation of“secondary hanging river”， aggravating water pollution，and increasing contradiction between supply anddemand of water resources， all of which withoutexception reflect the subsistence crisis of the YellowRiver. Therefore， the author advocates that maintainingthe healthy life of the Yellow River be the ultimate goalof the Yellow River harnessing， based on which the fiverharnessing system of“1493”is set up； furthermore， theauthor elaborates on the modes of water and sedimentregulation， the control， utilization and modeling of flood，the “three lines of defense” for control of coarsesediment， the establishment of water and sedimentregulation system as well as the strategies fordownstream channel harnessing of the YelLow River.
