Explanation

The Huang He (Yellow River) in China is often called the world's muddiest river due to the enormous amount of loess silt it carries, giving it its characteristic yellow-brown color. It carries approximately 1.6 billion tons of sediment annually. While the Ganga is also heavily sediment-laden, the Huang He is specifically renowned for this characteristic.
