Floods occur in China's third-largest freshwater lake
China's Taihu Lake braced for its "No. 2 Flood" this year, with the water level rising to 3.9 meters at 12:20 p.m. Saturday, 0.1 meters above the warning level, according to the Chinese Ministry of Water Resources.
Beijing: China's Taihu Lake braced for its "No. 2 Flood" this year, with the water level rising to 3.9 meters at 12:20 p.m. Saturday, 0.1 meters above the warning level, according to the Chinese Ministry of Water Resources.
China has entered the main flood season, and in recent weeks, its southern areas have been battered by persistent heavy rainfalls. Rain is expected to continue in the Taihu Lake basin for the next two days, and the water level will continue to rise.
Li Guoying, minister of water resources, called for increased efforts to drain water from Taihu Lake as well as strengthened inspection and defense of embankments in over-alarm-level river sections, reported Xinhua news agency.
The ministry recently held a meeting to make arrangements for flood control plans in major river basins, including the Yangtze River basin, Taihu Lake basin and Huaihe River basin.
Taihu Lake experienced its 2024 "No. 1 Floods" on June 30.
