Water on Yangtze River, Taihu Lake rises to alarming levels
Heavy rains have caused water levels on the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake to rise, prompting local governments to step up disaster prevention work.
The water level in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River had risen to 20.59 meters as of 8am today, 0.59 meters over the alarm level, the Jiujiang Hydrology Station reported, China's State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters said today.
The torrential rains that have ravaged central and southern China in recent days have also pushed water levels in Poyang Lake and Taihu Lake to dangerous levels.
The flood control headquarters have asked local governments to strengthen inspection of reservoirs and dikes and to prevent any breaches. Local authorities should take all measures to lower water levels and ensure people's safety, it said.
The headquarters have canceled its level-three disaster emergency response for Typhoon Conson after it weakened into a severe tropical storm early today.
