		In the middle reaches, ending at Zhengzhou in Henan province, the river flows south between the Shaanxi and Shanxi Provinces, draining a basin consisting largely of thick deposits of unmodified aeolian loess which is eroded readily by rainfall and wind and accounts for over 90 per cent of the sediment in the main channel downstream.
		An average of 1.6 billion tons of sediment enters the river channel at Zhengzhou annually, of which about 1.2 billion tons is carried out to sea, leaving behind a substantial amount to contribute to the silting of the river channel.
		Efforts in taming the river in the modern times still concentrate on flood prevention in the plain by raising and strengthening 1,300 km of levee embankments lining both the north and south shores of the channel.

		Roughly speaking, the area to the south of the Huai He together with the upper reaches of the Han Jiang lie in the north subtropical humid climatic zone, while the broad expanse to the north of the Huai He is in the temperate semihumid climatic zone.
		The rivers of the region are mainly rain-fed. Variations in runoff during the year are closely correlated with the distribution of precipitation but are more extreme due to the influence of topography and human activities.
		The basins of the Huai He and the middle and lower reaches of the Chang Jiang south of the Qin Ling as well as the Han Jiang are in the northern subtropical mixed evergreen and deciduous broadleaf forest zone.

		Its population of 1500 used to rely on the Shaying River, a major tributary of the Huai that runs by the town.

		There is an ambiguous area, the region around Nanyang, Henan, that lies in the gap where the Qinling has ended and the Huai River has not yet begun; in addition, central Anhui and Jiangsu lie south of the Huai River but north of the Yangtze, making their classification somewhat ambiguous as well.
		However, assuming the traditional north-south boundary of the Huai River, the southeast coast is still wealthier today than the northeast coast in per capita terms.

		Furthermore, this meteorological duality is increased by the topography, with large plains with irrigated agriculture to the north of the Huai River on one side, occupying two thirds of the basin, and a mountainous area in the southern part, covered with a forest.
		Thus with precipitation of 600 mm per year in the north, the long northern tributaries run slowly toward the Huai River, where they meet the southern rivers, coming quickly from the mountains where the high precipitation (average of 1600 mm per year) occurs for 70 % from June to September, which is the flood season.
		Concerning floods, we have good results in 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991, but otherwise we underestimate the discharge, particularly when the largest floods occurred: this is likely due to the overflowing of many reservoirs all over the basin, and thus the non-representativity of the measured discharge from the two large dams.
