Abstract:  Due to lacking of systematical sand mining programming, the sand mining in river channel in the lower Yellow River and Qin River affects flood control, river training and water administration. While the urgency of sand mining programming in the lower Yellow River and Qin River is demonstrated, the countermeasures of sand mining management are proposed: ①Publication should be done to ensure the safety of flood control; ②the programming of sand mining should be made as soon as possible; ③the law should be executed, etc.

Key words:   sand mining; flood control; programming; urgency; countermeasures
