What color is the Yangtze River?

The Yangtze River is yellow-brown and sometimes yellow-green. The total water resources of the Yangtze River is 96 16 billion cubic meters, accounting for about 36% of the total river runoff in China and 20 times that of the Yellow River. The Amazon River and the Congo River (Zaire River) are second only to the equatorial rainforest, ranking third in the world.

The parana river-La Plata River in South America and the Mississippi River in North America, which are similar in latitude to the Yangtze River basin, have a basin area larger than that of the Yangtze River, but their water consumption is far less than that of the Yangtze River. The former accounts for about 70% of the Yangtze River, while the latter accounts for about 60% of the Yangtze River.
