BEIJING, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) — Heavy rains on the Hanjiang River, a major tributary of the Yangtze, caused water levels to rise above danger levels for the first time this year, China's Ministry of Water Resources said in a statement.
Heavy rainfall in the upper reaches of the Hanjiang caused the flow rate of the main river measured at the Yangxian hydrological station in northwest China's Shaanxi Province to rise to 7,010 cubic meters per second on Friday evening, exceeding the 7,000 cubic meters per second flood standard.
The agency has stepped up flood control measures by launching a Level IV flood emergency response regime in the above-mentioned province.
It also called for improved rainfall forecasting and monitoring of further water level rises, improved early warning procedures, and increased preparedness for torrential floods and rising water levels in small and medium-sized tributaries.
The ministry also initiated a Level IV flood alert in southwest Sichuan Province and notified flood alerts in areas including southwest Chongqing and central China's Hubei Province. -0-
