China News Service, July 17th, according to the Ministry of Water Resources website, on the afternoon of the 16th, the National Defense General Deputy Commander and Minister of Water Resources E Jingping chaired the meeting to further analyze and judge the development trend of the Yangtze River, Taihu Lake, Huaihe River and northern regions. , Detailed deployment of various tasks such as water regime prediction and forecasting, water engineering scheduling, dike patrol defense and flood control supervision visits, etc.

　　According to the analysis of the consultation, at present, the water level of the Jianli River section of the main stream of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is showing a rising trend, and the river section below the lotus pond is fluctuating or slowly receding. At 16:00 on July 16, the water level below the Jianli River and the two lakes in the middle reaches of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River still exceeded 0.32 to 2.43 meters; the average water level in Taihu Lake was 4.62 meters, and the super-alarm was 0.82 meters. There were 53 stations in the vicinity that exceeded the alarm level by 0.08 to 1.18 meters, of which 26 The station exceeds 0.04～0.61 meters. It is estimated that from the 17th to the 19th, there will be a heavy rainfall process in the central southwestern east, northwestern Jiangnan, Jianghuai, Huanghuai, northern northeast China, southern southern northeastwest, etc. The accumulated surface rainfall is 30-80 mm, and in some areas it is 100-150 mm . Affected by it, there will be a significant flooding process in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. On the 17th, the inflow of the Three Gorges Reservoir will exceed 50,000 cubic meters per second, and will continue for a period of time. The water level of the middle reaches of the mainstream, Lianhuatang to Hankou River and Dongting Lake will stop rising. , The lower reaches of the mainstream and the water level of the Poyang Lake will slow down; the evening of the 16th to the early morning of the Taihu Lake will exceed the guaranteed water level on the 17th, and some stations in the surrounding river network area will continue to exceed the guarantee; the Huaihe River will have a significant flooding process. The section from Dam to Zhengyangguan may be over-alarm. In addition, the Yellow River Basin Shanshan area, the Haihe River Basin upstream of the Yongding River, the upper reaches of the Luan River, the Liaohe River Basin, the Xiaoling River and other rivers will have a significant flooding process.

　　E Jingping emphasized that the main stream in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has lasted for 12 days since the super-alarm on July 5. The current section below Jianli still maintains a high water level, and some sections of the river will continue to rise later. At the same time, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are expected to be numbered again. Flooding; the water level of Taihu Lake has exceeded 19 days since it was over-alarmed on June 28 and is expected to exceed the protection level; the section from Wangjiaba to Zhengyangguan, which is the main stream of the Huaihe River, may over-alarm, and the flood control situation is very serious. It is necessary to continue to do all kinds of defensive work in detail and make every effort to ensure the safety of the people's lives. At present, focus on the following tasks:

　　One is to coordinate the flood control situation in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and scientifically and carefully dispatch the Three Gorges Reservoir. The Three Gorges Reservoir has played an important role in blocking floods and cutting peaks in the early stage. It is expected that the recent inflows will show an unfavorable situation of fat peaks and continuous large discharges. At present, it is necessary to consider the safety of the Three Gorges Reservoir and the need to store large floods, and fully grasp the Yangtze River at high water levels The operation conditions of the main dikes in the middle and lower reaches, the weak dike sections and the flood discharge capacity of the river channel, on the basis of taking into account the safety of the reservoir and the bearing capacity of the dikes, scientifically and reasonably arrange the discharge flow of the reservoir. At the same time, we will fully excavate the flood control capacity and space of reservoir groups in the Wujiang, Hanjiang and Dongting Lake basins, and try our best to reduce the pressure of flood control downstream. The Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources should continue to analyze and forecast the rolling forecast, put forward targeted scheduling plans, and carefully schedule the Three Gorges Reservoir to ensure the safety of the reservoir and the safety of flood control in the downstream areas.

　　The second is to continue to pay close attention to the inspection and defense of the Taihu Lake Basin, and discharge the floods of the Taihu Lake as much as possible. Embankment patrol and defense of the Taihu Lake Basin and full drainage drainage are still the top priorities. The on-site working group of the Ministry of Water Resources should urge the local government to strictly implement the defensive responsibility for dike inspections, strengthen the inspection force allocation, encrypt the frequency of inspections, carry out net-based and cross-border inspections to ensure the safety of embankments. The Taihu Lake Basin Administration of the Ministry of Water Resources should strengthen the dispatching of Taipu Sluice and Wangting Water Control Project to exhaust Taihu floods; urge Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to do the dispatching along the north row of the Yangtze River and the south row along the Hangzhou Bay respectively, and make every effort to reduce Water level in the river network area.

　　The third is to base on the most unfavorable situation and make every effort to deal with the flood in the Huaihe River Basin. The flood control situation in the Huaihe River Basin is worse than expected, and we must make decisive decisions and implement measures such as "blocking" and "discharging" to ensure that all work is carried out. In order to give full play to the key reservoirs of Meishan, Xianghongdian, Catfish Mountain, Suya Lake and other key reservoirs in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, the Chushandian Reservoir should also contain peaks as much as possible. It is necessary to make good preparations for the use of flood storage areas, and develop cameras for flood storage. The fourth is to pay special attention to the heavy rainfall in the northern region and strengthen the unannounced visits to the flood control supervision. "Seven down and eight up" is the main flood season in the north, and special attention should be paid to the possible adverse effects of local heavy rainfall. In response to the heavy rainfall process in Liaoning, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and other places, the Ministry of Water Resources used a "no hello, random spot check" approach to supervise the unannounced visits, urging localities to do a good job in the safety of small reservoirs in flood control, mountain flood disaster prevention and flood control duty.

　　After the Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Water Resources provided water resources to Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Shaanxi Water Affairs Bureau (bureau) and the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Huaihe, Haihe, Songliao Water Conservancy Commission and Taihu Basin Administration issued a notice to further arrange the deployment of monitoring, forecasting and early warning, water engineering scheduling, embankment patrol defense, reservoir safety flood prevention and mountain flood disaster prevention And other work. At present, the four deputy ministers of the Ministry of Water Resources are supervising and inspecting the flood prevention work on the front line of the Yangtze River, Taihu Lake and Huaihe River respectively, and four other working groups are assisting and guiding the front line.
