The water source project of the Yellow River Diversion Project (Hereafter referred to as YRDP) in the central part of Shanxi Province is located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, close to the Yellow River, where the natural ecological environment is fragile. Taking the water diversion for the construction of the water source project of the YRDP in the central part of Shanxi Province as an example, this paper analyzes the influence of the water diversion project on the water resources of the Yellow River region, the influence on the third party, and the influence on the regional water ecology. It is concluded that the water diversion has a subtle influence on the downstream Tianqiao hydropower station and regional water resources, has little influence on the assimilative capacity of the functional area of the water body, and has a small influence on the hydropower station and its downstream aquatic organisms. In addition, it will play a role in protecting the regional water ecological balance and supplementing and conserving the groundwater in the water receiving area, reduce the amount of groundwater over-extraction in the basin, and improve the water resources and water environment in the water receiving area, so as to promote harmony between humans and the natural environment, and enhance the ecological benefits of operating the water conservancy project.
