On June 19, the annual sediment-water regulation of the Yellow River begins officially.
The operation works by discharging water from three reservoirs - Wanjiazhai, Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi - to stir the sediment in the Yellow River.
The 5,464 meter-long Yellow River originates on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, winds its way through nine provinces and autonomous regions, and empties into the Bohai Sea in north China.
