China News Service, July 23. According to the website of the Ministry of Water Resources, E Jingping, deputy commander-in-chief of the State Defense Department and Minister of Water Resources, hosted a meeting on the 22nd to analyze and judge the flood situation of the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Taihu Lake basins and the future of the Yellow River and Haihe River basins. During a period of rainfall, targeted re-arrangement and redeployment of recent key tasks. The meeting proposed that the Yellow River and Haihe River basins should be well prepared in advance for the prevention of heavy rainfall in the future.

　　The meeting emphasized that the water level of the mainstream of the Yangtze River has been exceeded for a long time, the floods of the mainstream of the Huaihe River are advancing downstream, and the high water level of Taihu Lake is fluctuating. The current flood control situation is still severe and cannot be relaxed at all. Make every effort to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. Four measures are mainly proposed:

　　The first is to make overall plans for flood prevention in the Huai River. When the Banqiao, Shimantan, and Yanshan reservoirs in the Huaibei area had the largest flood peaks in the reservoir this year, the outflow flow was reduced, and the function of blocking flood peaks was fully exerted, avoiding flood storage and detention such as Nihewa and Laowangpo. The opening of the district greatly reduced the pressure on flood control in the middle reaches of the Huaihe River, and the dispatching effect was very significant. It is necessary to fully consider the unfavorable situation of rain area swing, make a good overall plan for current floods and subsequent floods, grasp the Huai River flood storage and detention area operation preparation and flood diversion in time, accurately calculate flood distribution and main stream water level changes, and finely regulate reservoirs and sluices And the use of flood storage and detention areas to give full play to the flood prevention and disaster reduction role of water conservancy projects.

　　The second is to focus on the management of the Three Gorges Reservoir on the Yangtze River. It is expected that there will still be rainfall in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the next week. In view of the current flood interception, high water level operation and continuous high water level downstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir, work must be done in detail, and the upstream water supply of the Three Gorges Reservoir and the downstream monitoring station and Lianhua Pond The dike situation of the high-water section of the station and other high-level rivers can be grasped more clearly, scientific research and judgment, early decision-making and early action.

　　The third is to continue to strengthen the drainage of Taihu Lake floods. The water level of Taihu Lake rises rapidly and recedes slowly. It is necessary to seize the favorable opportunity in late July when there is little rainfall and no typhoon impact, and continue to use water conservancy hubs such as the Taipu Gate and the north discharge along the Yangtze River and the south discharge along the Hangzhou Bay to speed up flood discharge. , Do our best to lower the water level of Taihu Lake and the surrounding river network as soon as possible, strengthen the inspection and defense of the main dikes around the lake and the Taipu River, Wangyu River and other important dikes to ensure the safety of flood control.

　　The fourth is to do a good job of preventing heavy rainfall in the Yellow River and Haihe River basins in advance for a period of time. According to weather forecasts, there will be heavy rainfall in the Yellow River and Haihe River basins at the end of July, especially in the Taihang Mountains in the rainy area, with high slopes and steep slopes, short source and rapid current. If there is a local rainstorm or heavy rainstorm, the rainfall will quickly converge to form floods, destructive power Extremely strong, easily causing heavy casualties and property losses. Relevant provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) should be reminded to fully understand the severity of this round of heavy rainfall, pay close attention to weather changes, make arrangements and deployment early, prepare for flood control in advance, and respond to the process of heavy rainfall in an effective and orderly manner.

　　After the meeting, Ye Jianchun, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, connected with the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources to study the work of the fine dispatch of the Three Gorges Reservoir. The Ministry of Water Resources issued to the water conservancy (water affairs) departments (bureaus) of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces (municipalities directly under the Central Government) and the Yellow River and Haihe Water Conservancy Commissions of the Ministry of Water Resources the "Regarding to do a good job in heavy rainfall in Northwest Huanghuai, North China and other places) "Notice of Preventive Work", set out clear work requirements. The working group led by the chief engineer and chief planner of the Ministry of Water Resources is still supervising and inspecting the flood control conditions of the main dikes on the mainstream of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. Another three working groups and expert groups are on the front line to assist and guide local flood control work. The Ministry of Water Resources maintains Level II emergency response for flood and drought disaster prevention.

　　At 20 o'clock on the 22nd, the section below Huaibin on the main stream of the Huai River exceeded the alarm by 0.36 to 3.91 meters; the section below Shitou on the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake exceeded the alarm by 0.80 to 2.16 meters; the average water level of the Taihu Lake was 4.77 meters, with a limit of 0.12 meters. In the surrounding river network area, there are 45 stations whose water level exceeds the alarm by 0.02 to 1.07 meters, of which 20 stations have a water level of 0.07 to 0.47 meters. Ninety-three rivers including Shigu section of Jinsha River in Yunnan, Dadu River in Sichuan, Han River in Hubei and Hanchuan section in Hubei, Xiushui in Jiangxi, Qingyi River in Anhui, Yangjiang and Chuhe, etc. are still over-alarm; 21 rivers including Fushui in Hubei and Shuiyangjiang and Chuhe in Anhui It is still over-protected; 7 rivers and lakes, including Chaohu Lake and Caizi Lake in Anhui, are still over-history.

　　According to weather forecasts, in the next three days, there will be moderate to heavy rains in the eastern southwest, southeastern northwest, western Huanghuai, and western Jianghuai. Among them, there will be heavy rains in parts of northern Sichuan, southern Gansu, and southern Shaanxi. Affected by this, the inflow of the Three Gorges Reservoir in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will increase, and the middle and lower reaches will maintain a high water level; the time for the main stream of the Huai River to retreat below the warning water level will be extended.
