Chen Guiya, deputy chief engineer of the Yangtze River Water Resources Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced the characteristics of the flood situation in the Yangtze River Basin and future trends Ren Yongshe
According to a report, at 23:00 on July 12, the water level of the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River reached its highest level since the flood began this year. The water level of the Hanfeng station was 28.77 meters, and the flow rate was 56,400 cubic meters per second. On July 13, the Yangtze River Hongfeng passed through Wuhan, and the current round of Hongfeng water level was the fourth highest since the hydrological record, lower than in 1954, 1998, and 1999.
"Drainage does not mean safety, and dangerous situations are also prone to occur during the water withdrawal period." Chen Guiya said that although Hong Feng has passed, the water level of the main stream in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is still relatively high, and you can't think that you can sit back and relax when the water recedes. Certainty, we should continue to make preparations for preventing floods.
Chen Guiya explained that since 2016, the water level of the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River has been generally normal. After this round of flood peak crossing, the water level rose to 28.77 meters. In the next 10 days or so, the water level of the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River will continue and slowly fall below the warning level. At this stage, the dike in the main stream of the Yangtze River is immersed in the high water level for a long time, and it is prone to dangers such as slope removal and water seepage. Therefore, in the water withdrawal stage, we must continue to do the work of patrol inspection and emergency rescue.
Chen Guiya analyzed that from the current situation of rainfall development, from now until early August, the "main battlefield" of rainfall in the Yangtze River Basin will be transferred to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Therefore, it is not ruled out that the water from the strong rainfall in the upper stream, and the floods and floods caused by the local rainfall in the middle and lower reaches, and the urban waterlogging.
