After the Yellow river changed its course in 1885, the ancient Yellow River was no longer navigable. Because it mainly receives domestic sewage of some urban residents and industrial wastewater discharged by coastal factories, it has poor natural dilution capacity and its water source mainly depends on natural rainfall, so it is called "waste Yellow River".
