The urban domestic sewage treatment is of great significance for promoting the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.This paper detailly summarized the progresses achieved for the urban domestic sewage treatment of the Yellow River Basin since the 13th Five-Year Plan.Meanwhile,some prominent problems,for instance,the shortage in the treatment facilities and inadequate assorted pipe network,the low utilization efficiency of resources,as well as the imperfect management mechanism were also revealed via the field research and data analysis.To provide guidance for advancing the work direction and priority of the urban domestic sewage treatment during the 14th Five-Year Plan period,feasible countermeasures were proposed,including overall planning and reasonable layout,increasing the construction of facilities and supporting pipe network,accelerating the utilization of sewage and sludge resources,innovating the mode as improving the operation and management mechanism.
