[00:02.97]This is the Yellow River.
[00:13.75]Each year the Yellow River carries billions of tons of sediment from the Loess Plateau
[00:18.44]eastwards to the crop fields of the Chinese heartland.
[00:32.12]Historically, the Chinese relationship with the river has been uneasy.
[00:36.77]Sediment, building up on the riverbed,
[00:38.97]has caused the Yellow River to burst its banks periodically,
[00:42.47]unleashing devastating floods,
[00:44.91]resulting in millions of deaths.
[00:58.14]But when tamed with dykes and channels,
[01:00.41]the river's bounty is legendary.
[01:07.96]Even today, half of China's wheat comes from the Yellow River floodplain.
