Flooding on China's largest and most important river, the Yangtz, is frequently reported in the press due to the almost annual occurrence of monsoon-related floods. In addition, the Three Gorges Dam being built to harness power from the Yangtze is also a matt of hot debate. In contrast, China's second river, the Yellow River(Huanghe) is not often in the news, yet this river probably poses a greater threat to the people living around it than the Yangtze does. It has been estimated that major floods on the Yellow River could threaten the lives of 150 million people: it is not by chance that the Yellow River has earned the name 'China' s Sorrow'.
