Hui River

The Hui River (simplified Chinese: 浍河; traditional Chinese: 澮河; pinyin: Huì Hé) is a river located in eastern China, primarily flowing through Anhui and Henan provinces. It is a tributary of the Huai River. Historically, it played a significant role in irrigation and transportation in the region. The river's course and water volume have been subject to significant changes over time due to natural events like floods and droughts, as well as human activity, including land reclamation and water management projects. It is an important part of the Huai River basin ecosystem and affects the livelihoods of communities along its banks. The name "Hui" is thought to originate from historical regional names or characteristics of the water flow. The river's management is crucial for preventing flooding and ensuring water resources for agriculture and industry in the surrounding areas.
