en.Wedoany.com Reported - Yan'an River and Lake Company, a subsidiary of the Weihe Ecological Group under Shaanxi Water Development Group, fully commenced dredging and sand extraction operations in the Yanchang and Yichuan sections of the Yellow River in early June 2026. Currently, seven operation zones have been established, with 20 operational vessels deployed, achieving a daily dredging and sand extraction volume of 15,000 tons. As of early June, all permits for river channel dredging and sand extraction for the 2026-2027 period in the Yanchang and Yichuan sections have been obtained.

The Weihe Ecological Group is a provincial state-owned enterprise in Shaanxi, primarily responsible for the ecological management, dredging, sand extraction, and comprehensive water resource development of the Weihe River and other rivers within the province. Yan'an River and Lake Company, as its core subsidiary in the Yan'an region, is tasked with river channel dredging and sand and gravel resource development in the Yanchang and Yichuan sections of the Yellow River. Since the beginning of this year, Yan'an River and Lake Company has proactively engaged with the local governments of both areas, completed the renewal of a new round of cooperation agreements for Yellow River dredging and sand extraction, scientifically planned the layout of dredging and sand extraction points, and actively maintained operational equipment and transportation roads. The relevant plans passed technical review in early April and were officially approved in mid-May. In the next step, the company will adopt a model of "unified approval for rational extraction, unified supervision for scientific extraction, unified sales for standardized management, and unified acceptance for post-extraction restoration" to meticulously control the production and operation of the two sand extraction zones.
