Last entry.

Hi ! I am back here once! This is the last entry! Actually, I has historically been considered the "Cradle of Chinese Civilization". I am depressed to tell you the bad things that I did. But believe me, I did not did it deliberately. Actually, in China, major floods in me generally have catastropic agricultural, economic and social impact. My flood occurred between July and November 1931. Estimates of the number of people killed in the flood generally range from 1 to 2 million. Figures have shown about 1 million people died of drowning. Some listed that the number of people killed summed up to be as high as 4 million. I also left 80 million people homeless. I am just so sorry for causing this disaster. I know it is kind of late to apologise but i am just so sorry.

huanghe RIVER!!!!

Hi!!! its me again.This is my fourth blog entry! And i guess my blog entries are going to come to a end soon .Anyway, in this blog entry i am going to talk about some dissappointing things.My levees has unfortunately breached more than 1,500 times, and my course  has also changed 26 times in the last three millennia. One of my major course change took place in 1194 A.D.Because of me, villages and huge amounts of agriculture and farmland were washed away and about 80 million people were also left homeless. Nearly 1 million people died in the flood itself and in the famines and epidemics that resulted from the flooding.Don't blame me, i did not expect it to happen!But still i feel very bad. I would  like to use this opportunity to apologise to those whom are affected by me. and also i would like to warn them to be alert at any time as things like this is undercontroll,so i can't do anything.Next thing i would like to say is that, pollutions, hydropower, and intensive water extraction for human consumption, agriculture, and industrial use are all taking their toll on ME!!!severe pollution has made one-third of me unusable, even for agricultural or industrial use, due to factory discharges and sewage from fast-expanding.i feel very dirty.i amasking those who did this to me ,"how would you feel if someone poured oil or chemicals on you and dirtied you?"I am also in the same situation. So please use the proper sewage system.Thankyou and once again sorry!!!

I am back!!! :D

Well, i am back on my new entry! Being the second largest river in China after Yangtze river, and the sixth-longest river in the world estimated length of 5,464 kilometres, i might say i am very honoured. I also flow through NINE provinces of China and empties myself in the Bohai sea. (i am very busy!!)  Do you know how my name was originated? Well, my name Yellow River decribes the perennial ochre-yellow colour of the muddy water in the lower course of me. The yellow colour comes from the loess suspended in the water. Sometimes, people named me 'muddy flow' because maybe only pigs can fly when i can flow clear! I will always be muddy! My name is facinating huh? So that's me and i will write in in the next entry! Wait for the next entry!

New Flows

Hi! I am back! Shall we continue on my entries? Yes! So, when I was formed due to the movement of the crust.The crust move up and break to form a gap between it. The lakes which formed earlier around me joined together and formed a river. Before the formation, the crust which the river located is lower than 1000m. After the formation, is about 247 million years ago, the crust moves up to 2000ms and above the sea level. Thus, the I am formed. As i carried a lot of sediments every year, thus, floodplain formed in many parts of the river. I provided a big area which are ideal place for farming. I continous to flow along the channel and I pass by dry pieces of land, but soon to be fertile, as my water will make them. I see tiny, wooden huts created by the commoners or pheasants in the villages I pass. Some of them collect pieces of me, and others splash around me, washing their dirt and filth away in my clear body. 

I pass some trees, and their roots absorbs my water into themselves, causing yet another part of me to be lost.Though it is saddening to lose some part of me, if i look at the positive side, i am actually helping the enviroment because by letting the trees to take my water in, it makes them grow healtily and i am helping the environment in another way or two!!! Oh no!!! It is getting late now and i must got to go and empty myself!!


Remember to check back again in my next entry!!!! Goodbye!!!

Intro

HI! I am the Hwang River. I am located in China. Let me introduce myself, I am the second largest river in China and the fifth longest in the world! I decided to create this blog because I want to expand YOUR knowledge on me, The Hwang River. :D I am nicknamed as 'cradle of Chinese Civilization'. Do you know why? It means that the Chinese Civilization started near my body. In another words, I am OLD. In fact, I am still present now. I was 'borned' in year 602 BC. I have been developing over years just like human. 


I've been experiencing changes since i was 'borned'. Most of the time, it is due to the sediments. Large amount of loess carried by me and it will be deposited along the bottom of the river's canal. Overtime, a natural dam is formed. Eventually, the enormous amount of waters have to find a new way to the sea. This is when a flood occurs in a new valley. I hate flooding! It is always unpredictable. It also cause difficulty to farmers :( I am 5464 metre long and need to travel nine province in order for me to reach the sea, Bo Sea. I could flow at the speed of 1774.5m2/s, see, that is how fast I am! Impressed? My body shape is like a chinese character "ji" (几). I produces a lot of fishes. This provided food for those people who liver near me. I am well respect by the chinese, they call me "Hwang River Mother. See, here it is.

Now, you do you know me better? It's time for me to say goodbye,remember to check back again for my next entries ;)
