BEIJING, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Water Resources on Saturday issued a Level 4 flood alert in five provincial-level regions as heavy and torrential rainfall is expected in many parts of the country in the coming days.
Heavy rainfall is forecast from August 9 to 11 in Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Anhui, Gansu provinces and Chongqing Municipality, where a flood emergency response is already in effect, with extreme downpours possible in some areas.
Heavy rains could cause a sharp rise in water levels in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and in some small and medium-sized rivers in high-risk areas, water levels could exceed dangerous levels.
The ministry called on local authorities to strengthen real-time monitoring of precipitation and river conditions, promptly notify the population about floods, and improve measures to prevent flooding in cities.
In addition, the ministry emphasized that special attention should be paid to reducing risks on small rivers and ensuring the timely evacuation of residents from dangerous areas. –0–
