%X This dataset contains stream length data for the entire Yellow River basin, including its upstream, midstream, and downstream sections.Stream length refers to the maximum ground distance, projected onto the horizontal plane, from a point on the ground along the direction of water flow to the starting point (or endpoint) of its flow direction. Stream length is a major factor in soil and water conservation in hydrology. When other conditions are the same, the intensity of hydraulic erosion is determined by the length of the slope over which the water flows; the longer the slope, the greater the concentrated flow, and the stronger the erosive force of the water. Stream length directly affects the velocity of overland flow, and thus affects its erosive force on the ground soil.The data is divided into downstream (down) and upstream (up) directions.
