[Commentary] On July 15, the reporter learned from the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Water Resources that the current peak of the Yangtze River Chase's flow has steadily crossed the Nanjing section of the lower reaches of the border, and the Chase's flow value slowly declined.

  [Commentary] The riverside road near the Zhongshan Wharf in Nanjing connects several kilometers of the Yangtze River shoreline. At noon that day, the reporter came to the Zhongshan Wharf. The ferry has been suspended for several days due to the rising water level in the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River.

  When the warning water level of the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River was breached, our ferry company's water passenger transportation department launched an emergency plan and suspended the whole line at 8:40 on July 7th. After Hong Feng passed on the 15th, the water level did not change much, it was still around 10 meters 03. In response to this flood peak, we have also increased our investment in flood control forces. Our flood control staff implemented a 24-hour patrol and inspection (system) to ensure that the three gates are safe from floods.

  [Commentary] Wang Jingjun told reporters that in order to facilitate the travel of the people on both sides of the Yangtze River, the public transport department also coordinated the orderly connection of bus vehicles.

  After the water level of the Yangtze River rose, we received a notice from the company that the terminal was suspended, and we were temporarily transferred to dock at both the Pukou terminal and the Zhongshan terminal to make it easier for everyone to travel.

  The water level of the Yangtze River has risen. It is more convenient to take this (connecting to the bus), mainly because it is convenient for us to go to work and get off work. I hope that the water level of the Yangtze River will retreat sooner.

  【Explanation】According to the statistics of Jiangsu Water Conservancy Department, Jiangsu has experienced 8 rounds of rain for 36 days, and the accumulated rainfall is 98% higher than the same period in history, ranking third in history.
