Yellow River defense general manager: the possibility of heavy rain and flood in the middle reaches of the Yellow River this year is relatively high.

The Yellow River defense chief released today (15th). According to the prediction of the Yellow River basin meteorological center, the overall deviation of China’s climate state during the flood season this year, and the precipitation in the Yellow River basin is too much, mainly from June to July, among them, in July, the eastern part of Shaanxi, the Shanxi section and the northern part of Henan in the middle reaches of the Yellow River are more than two to 50% compared with the same period of the year, and the possibility of heavy precipitation is greater. The flood control situation of the Yellow River is relatively severe. Since the flood of magnitude 15300 cubic meters per second occurred in 1982, there has been no flood of magnitude more than 10,000 cubic meters per second in 34 years in the Yellow River. Combining various factors, it is expected that the possibility of rainstorm and flood in the Yellow River this year is relatively high. The Yellow River is a special river in the north of our country. The mountain flood channels in the basin are densely distributed and there are many silt dams. Once local rainstorm and flood occur, geological disasters such as mountain flood, debris flow and dam collapse are easily triggered. In addition, the flood discharge capacity of the upper reaches of the Yellow River is low, some embankment sections cannot reach the fortification standard, some river sections in the middle reaches of the Yellow River are not perfect, and nearly one third of flood shelter facilities in the lower reaches of the Yellow River cannot reach the standard. At present, the Yellow River defense general requires all regions to repair plus-sized water damage projects, strengthen flood monitoring, highlight the supervision and inspection of reservoirs and hydropower stations, eliminate hidden dangers, and ensure the safety of flood season.
