THE Three Gorges Dam saw its biggest flood of the year yesterday, as water from the Yangtze's upper reaches gushed at 69,000 cubic meters per second into the dam's reservoir.
The dam is working to take the edge off the fierce flood and reduce its impact on the river's lower reaches by storing at least 26,000 cubic meters of water every second, the Yangtze River flood control headquarters said.
Thanks to the dam's buffer effect, outflow from the dam currently measures 43,000 cubic meters per second, it said.
It said the force of the flood far exceeded that of the Yangtze flood of 1998, which caused a large amount of damage.
