Introduction

Yongfa Guan is an inventor associated with Zhengzhou, China. His listed patent concerns the design and planting of riparian zones along reservoirs and other bodies of water.

Latest Patents

Guan is credited with 1 patent, titled “Riparian Zone of Reservoir.” The invention divides a reservoir’s side slope into five areas according to how frequently each area is submerged: low-frequency, relatively low-frequency, medium-frequency, relatively high-frequency, and high-frequency. These areas are arranged from the top of the slope to the bottom.

The design places a submerged bank structure in the relatively high-frequency submergence area, with vegetation planted on that structure. Vegetation is also planted in the medium-frequency and relatively low-frequency areas. By organizing the slope according to cumulative submergence frequency, the invention provides a structured approach to combining bank features and vegetation across changing water levels.
