The specific type of flood that devastated the Chinese countryside is the river flood; these floods are caused by high or overflowing water from a river and typically occur after spring rains or snow melts.
China’s other major river, the Yangtze, also created problems for the early Chinese; however, it is not as heavily laden with silt or as flood prone as the Yellow River.
Trees and other vegetation should be replanted in the lands surrounding the upper reaches of major rivers and alongside rivers in areas apt to flooding to decrease the amount of erosion and increase water absorption.
