The Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the ministries of natural resources and water resources jointly issued the document, titled "Outline of the Yellow River Basin's Ecological and Environmental Protection". By the middle of the century, the Yellow River basin will be full of vitality, with people and the waterway coexisting in harmony, the document said.
