River water turns yellow

Water in a river in England on February 17 turned unusually yellow after the rain, but experts say this phenomenon is not dangerous.

Unusual yellow of Holme river water is located in West Yorkshire county, northeastern England.This phenomenon was recorded from February 17.

Floods accompanied by heavy rain swept through an abandoned old mine near the county town of Holmfith.

The rising water level caused iron ore to be washed away, flowing to the Holme River and "staining" the river water.

This phenomenon caused nearly 4km of Holme River to be dyed orange.

However, according to environmental experts, this is a natural and harmless phenomenon.After a while, the water color will return to normal.

This is not the first time the color of the Holme river has changed in color.In October last year, many people living here said they had seen river water turn brown.
