Yantze river, China

The 100 m false-colour image of 11 February 2017 shows us part of the Yantze River, near the city Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, China. Known in China as the Cháng Jiāng, literally: "Long River". The Yantze river is the longest in the world who flows entirely within one country. It drains one-fifth of the land area of the People's Republic of China and its river basin is home to one-third of the country's population.[ In recent years, the river has suffered from industrial pollution, agricultural run-off, siltation, and loss of wetland and lakes, which exacerbates seasonal flooding. Some sections of the river are now protected as nature reserves.
