On July 5, the Lanzhou section of the Yellow River was photographed aerially. With the flood discharge of Liujiaxia, the clear green Yellow River water returned to the color of loess some time ago.

Recently, Liujiaxia Reservoir, located in Yongjing County, Gansu Province, on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, has increased the discharge flow and lowered the reservoir's water level in accordance with the requirements of the Yellow River's prevention and control, to free up more storage capacity for the flood season and ensure the safety of the Yellow River basin during the flood season.
