　　Because recently, the rainfall of these two lakes (Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake) has stopped, so according to predictions, there will be less rainfall in the two lakes in the future, so our main stream in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is mainly backwater, but due to the two lakes’ The water level is relatively high, and they store more water early, so the water withdrawal is relatively slow.

　　[Explanation] Chen Guiya reminded that the dike stage should pay attention to the safety of the dike to prevent the occurrence of dangers such as slope removal and water seepage.

The water level of the Hanfeng station was 28.77 meters, and the flow rate was 56400 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.
