China News Agency, Nanjing, July 15 (Reporter Zhu Xiaoying) The reporter learned from the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Water Resources on the 15th that the peak flow of the Yangtze River Chase has steadily passed through the Nanjing section of the lower reaches of the border, and the value of Chase's flow has slowly declined. However, due to the astronomical tide and the new round of rainfall factors, the high water level in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is expected to continue.
The riverside road near the Zhongshan Wharf in Nanjing, which connects several kilometers of the Yangtze River coast, is built as a riverside scenery belt. At noon on the 15th, the reporter walked along the way to see that all the gates leading to the scenery belt were tightly closed, and there were sandbag "fences" at the door, pulling the cordon.

After the rain at night, the rain is still endless. Standing on an elevated road parallel to the shoreline, the water level of the Yangtze River has risen again than before. The iconic "finless porpoise viewing place" viewing platform "disappeared" and the water level reached the position of the tree waist and crown on the platform. Jiang Wei completely "sinks" into the river, and "sweet grass" swings with the waves. In the middle of the river, water patrol boats continue to patrol the river; inside the dike, passers-by vehicles pass normally and orderly.
Qinhuai New River Gate is one of the entrances of Nanjing Qinhuai River to the Yangtze River. The reporter saw here that part of the handrails in the Qinhuai new river water conservancy hub pool have been immersed in the river. "In the flood season of previous years, the upstream and downstream water levels here were more than 7 meters. Recently, the high water levels of the upstream and downstream reached more than 10 meters. According to the unified scheduling, we continuously booted and introduced the upstream water into the downstream Yangtze River. This year is also the first time we need to start Downstream drainage." Zhao Qinghua, deputy director of the Nanjing Qinhuai New River Gate Management Office.
There is a lot of "water" in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is caused by the superposition of many factors such as water for tourists, repeated rainfall, and high tides in the flood season.
