The Huang He River got this nickname because of its annual floodings when large portions of the land around was under water and lots of people were losing their lives and homes.

The Huang He River is known for its floodings, in fact four of the biggest floodings in China's recorded history are cause by this river. The floods mostly occur because of the melting snows in the western part of the Himalayas, which bring in much bigger amount of water to the river and much more than what its riverbed can accumulate. Even nowadays the floods from this river are devastating to the Chinese people and many lose their lives and homes.
