It supports nearly one-third of China's population and generates a significant portion of the country's GDP. The river has been a source of water, irrigation, sanitation, transportation, industry, and boundary-marking for thousands of years. The Yangtze Delta, where the river meets the East China Sea, is one of the most densely populated and economically vibrant regions in the world.
