One river runs clear, while another runs turbid. When the two rivers meet, what will happen?
Distinct yellow and green hues were spotted at the junction of two rivers in Jinping County, Guizhou Province following recent heavy rainfalls. The water clarity of the Qingshui River is maintained year-round due to water flow regulation by two local hydroelectric stations. In contrast, the Xiaojiang River, devoid of such controls, has accumulated sediment from various streams within its watershed, giving it a yellowish tint. The currents of the two rivers remain distinctly clear and muddy at the confluence without mixing, presenting a unique spectacle of contrasting colors.
