China's Ministry of Water Resources on
Sunday urged flood-prevention efforts in the northeast of the country
and heavy-rainfall preparedness in the south after continuous rainfall
caused some rivers to swell above alert levels. A
total of 21 rivers in areas including Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang
and Sichuan provinces and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have seen
alert levels breached, according to the ministry. The main streams of the Heilongjiang and Nenjiang rivers are expected to see obvious floods, it added. Heavy
rainfall will hit parts of China's southern region from Monday to
Thursday, bringing above-alert-level floods in some small and
medium-sized rivers in areas struck by rainstorms, meteorological data
shows. The ministry urged special
flood-prevention efforts in these areas, emphasizing dike inspection and
reinforcement, personnel relocation, as well as water regulation at
reservoirs.
