They have been divided into white water, black water, hot water, warm water, and cold water according to the water temperature and colors by local Tibetans. The white water comes from the Snow-capped mountains. Its melted snow looks like milk in summer. The black water is from the white golden valley, called "the Three God River" by local Tibetans together with White water and Dragon River.
