山西省黄河流域的经济发展在全省占有举足轻重的地位。当前山西黄河流域水资源利用方面最突出的问题是供水严重不足和水环境的恶化。汾河及涑水河流域水资源开发已经超过本地区水资源的承载能力，沁河流域尚有较大的开发潜力。 The economic development of the Yellow River Basin in Shanxi Province occupies a pivotal position in the province. At present, the most prominent problems in the utilization of water resources in the Yellow River basin in Shanxi are the serious shortage of water supply and the deterioration of water environment. The development of water resources in Fenhe River and Suishuihe River Basin has exceeded the carrying capacity of water resources in the region, and there is still a great potential for development in Qinhe River Basin.
