"The Huang He flooded without warning or predictability."

Unlike the Nile's regular, annual inundation (which Egyptians could predict and plan around), the Yellow River's floods were sudden, often catastrophic, and unpredictable — partly because it carries huge amounts of loess that raise the riverbed and make levees fail.
