China continues to battle flood in Pearl River Basin
China’s Ministry of Water Resources is intensifying precautionary measures against flooding as heavy rain continues to lash southern China.
The ministry has forecast heavy rainfall to continue from Wednesday to Friday across the country’s southern and south-western regions, with rainstorms hitting parts of the Pearl River Basin.
The ministry said that affected by heavy downpours, water levels in three of the basin’s rivers – Beijiang, Dongjiang and Hanjiang – are expected to exceed warning levels.
The ministry has strengthened forecasts, early warnings, and contingency measures in flood prevention work and has carried out real-time monitoring of reservoirs and waterways in the Pearl River Basin.
As rainstorms increase the risk of floods and mountain torrents in some small and medium-sized rivers in the Beijiang River, the ministry will monitor the weather closely and strengthen consultation, research, and information transmission.
The current situation in the Beijiang, Dongjiang and Hanjiang rivers remains generally stable.
The ministry said that as heavy rainfall continues, more flood-control measures in the Pearl River Basin were underway.
