I think this is the same as the Yangtze or Yellow river in China.

1.4 billion tons of silt are transported to the sea yearly. At the Loess Plateau the river carries 1.6 billion tons of silt (so 200 million tons are deposited between there and the sea...?).

Asker's Rating:

• How does this amount compare with the Colorado river Silt deposits in the gulf of Mexico
