1. Shrinking of water ecological space: There are some problems in Shizuishan City, such as the lack of unified planning and management for the development and utilization of the Yellow River beach, sparse vegetation and fragile ecology in Helan Mountain, serious wind erosion and desertification of land in Hedong, shortage of water for ecological protection and restoration, and prominent contradictions.
2. It is difficult to control the water environment: the water circulation of lakes and wetlands in Shizuishan City is insufficient, the point source and non-point source pollution are serious, the degree of eutrophication is high, the task of pollution prevention and control is heavy and difficult, and the regional water environment control needs to be strengthened urgently.
3. Flood control engineering standards need to be improved: Shizuishan flood control engineering standards need to be improved, and the non-engineering system is still not perfect.
