East China's Anhui Province on Saturday announced that 12 cities in
the province had entered the emergency period of flood control from noon
as continuous downpours have wreaked havoc across vast stretches of the
country. The 12 cities on the banks of the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and
Chaohu Lake include Hefei, Bengbu and Wuhu, according to the provincial
flood control and drought relief headquarters. Currently, the main courses of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River in
Anhui have been flowing above warning levels, and the water level of
Chaohu Lake is at its highest in history, the headquarters said. Areas south of the Huaihe River in Anhui are forecast to experience spells of rain before Monday. Enditem
