Datasets description

The Yellow River is the second longest river in China and its sediment problem has attracted the attention of people all over the world. This data is based on a 1:4 million river vector map of the whole country as a base map, using the upper Yellow River basin boundary as a clipping. The river vector map is a key element in extracting the basin boundary using topographic maps, and also in doing flood evolution and sediment evolution.

This map is stored as an ArcGIS, .shp file and includes vector maps of the main streams and tributaries from the source area of the Yellow River to the headwaters. The river vector map is a key element in extracting the basin boundaries using topographic maps, as well as doing flood evolution and sediment evolution.

Data source description

Vector map of 1:4 million rivers in China

Data processing method

According to the 1:4 million River vector map of China as the base map, it is cut by the upper Yellow River basin boundary

Data quality description

There is some error in the boundary of this section of the catchment because of the very small specific fall of the river from the mouth of the Three Lakes to the town of Riverhead.
