Explanation

The Huang He (Yellow River) in China carries enormous amounts of loess silt, giving it a yellow-brown appearance and making it the muddiest river in the world. Its name derives from the massive silt load it carries from the Loess Plateau. While other rivers carry sediment, none match the Huang He's concentration.
