How did the Yellow River turn yellow and how should it be treated?

The only reason why the river turns yellow is that the sediment from the Loess Plateau flows into the Yellow River. Because the water is yellow, it is called the Yellow River.

The rivers in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and Qinghai Province are not yellow. When passing through the loess plateau, due to the lack of trees and grass on the plateau, sediment flows into the river with rain after a rain.

Solution: First, greening, planting grass and trees; The second is to repair terraces and dig fish scale pits to store water; Third, immigration, reducing agricultural planting area, fourth, planting grass and raising livestock, planting perennial pasture. Because the loess plateau is too large, it is difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of soil erosion in a short time.
