➡️ During the cold part of the year in high latitudes or high altitudes, the water is stored as snow and ice, which fully or partly melts during the spring. ➡️Hence the rivers that have started in high mountains from melting ice and snow are called “snow fed rivers”.

Yangtze Culture The culture of the Sichuan/Chongqing Plateau and Hubei Plain on the Yangtze middle reaches, with its spicy food, Buddhist holy sites (the Giant Buddha, Mt. Emei, etc.) and relaxed pace of life, is different from that of the low-lying lower reaches.

It is called the Yellow River because its waters carry silt, which give the river its yellow-brown color, and when the river overflows, it leaves a yellow residue behind.

The Yellow River, which provides water to millions of people in northern China, is now so badly polluted that 85 per cent of it is unsafe for drinking. Originating in the mountains around the Tibetan plateau at Qinghai, it empties out into the Bohai Sea on China’s East coast.

The Yellow River is also called “China’s Sorrow”. Each year, over 1.6 billion tons of soil flows into the Yellow River, which causes the continual rise and shift of the riverbed. Before damming, it was extremely prone to flooding, and had caused millions of deaths, including the deadliest disaster in human history.

China’s Yellow River Plagued by Pollution Most of the Yellow River, the second-longest in China and the cradle of early Chinese civilisation, is so polluted it is not safe for drinking or swimming, Xinhua news agency said on Wednesday.

The Yellow River is often called the cradle of Chinese civilization. With a length of 3,395 miles (5,464 km), it is the country’s second longest river—surpassed only by the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang)—and its drainage basin is the third largest in China, with an area of some 290,000 square miles (750,000 square km).

There are small populations of various ungulates in the higher reaches of the river, including rare species such as the chiru (Tibetan antelope) and wild yak, as well as populations of Chinese forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) and sikas lower in the basin.

A third of China’s fabled Yellow River, which supplies water to millions of people in the country’s north, is heavily polluted by industrial waste and unsafe for any use, according to new scientific data.
