Beilun is located at the easternmost land in Zhejiang Province and is responsible for the “last mile” of flood control work. Faced with the characteristic of long-lasting rain in the rainy season this year, depending on the tide level of the offshore sea, the area "grabbed" the tidal wave of nearly 100 coastal sluice gates to make room for flood retention for continuous heavy rainfall.

At 10 a.m. on July 9, at the second sluice of Xiasan Mountain in Beilun, the pre-drainage passed through the Qiqi sluice, and the water level before the sluice dropped to 0.7 meters, and there was still 0.8 meters away from the warning water level of 1.5 meters.
According to Wang Wei, administrator of the second gate of Xiasan Mountain, when the water level of the river network exceeds 0.95 meters, the gate should be opened to drain water. As the Xinluao Reservoir and Chengwan Reservoir were pre-discharged to the downstream in advance, the water level of the Yantai Water System continued to rise, and the gate was opened in the afternoon on the 8th to release water. "Despite the overnight upstream water, the 9th water level is still running at a low level. "
The relevant person in charge of the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Beilun District said that next, the major gates in the area will decide whether to pre-drain again according to the weather conditions and the water level of the river network. (Finish)
