The reporter learned from the Ministry of Water Resources on the 12th that in the next week, due to heavy rainfall, some rivers in the Haihe River, Yellow River, Yangtze River, Pearl River and Liaohe River basins may experience floods. The flood prevention situation remains severe and complicated, and the water resources department is further strengthening flood defense during the critical period of flood prevention.

The Ministry of Water Resources held a weekly flood control consultation meeting on the same day, rollingly analyzing the flood control situation of the Wusuli River and the Beiluo River in the Yellow River Basin, and analyzing and judging the development trend of the national flood situation. According to forecasts, in the next week, under the influence of heavy rainfall, the Luanhe River and Chaobai River in the Haihe River Basin, the Weihe River in the Yellow River Basin, the Minjiang River in the Yangtze River Basin, the main and tributary rivers of the Xijiang River in the Pearl River Basin, the Liaohe River and the Daling River in the Liaohe River Basin, and the Yalu River may experience floods, and the risks of small and medium-sized river floods and local mountain torrents in the rainstorm area are high. At the same time, the flood in the main stream of the Wusuli River exceeded the warning level at 5:00 on the 12th, and it is expected that the water level will exceed the guaranteed level around the 14th, and the flood process will continue until late August; the high-sediment-content flood in the Beiluo River is evolving downstream, and after merging into the Weihe River, it will enter the Yellow River. Reservoirs such as Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi are facing the test of high-sediment-content floods.

Li Guoying, deputy commander-in-chief of the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters and Minister of Water Resources, said that the current flood control situation remains severe and complex, and the water conservancy system continues to maintain the working mechanism and working status during the critical period of flood control and implement various defense measures. More attention should be paid to rivers that have flooded many times this year and to the risk of flash floods in each local area.

At present, the water conservancy department is focusing on the following key points to further improve the pertinence, accuracy and timeliness of flood prevention work during the critical flood prevention period: In terms of flood prevention on the Ussuri River, keep a close eye on and predict the evolution of floods, assess risks in advance, and ensure that defense measures outpace the speed of flood evolution; in terms of flood prevention on the Beiluo River, strengthen flood monitoring, highlight the strengthening of downstream patrols and defenses, jointly dispatch the Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi reservoirs, as well as the Yiluo River, Qin River and other main and tributary reservoirs of the Yellow River, and scientifically implement water and sand diversion; in terms of flood prevention on the Liaohe River and Daling River, take targeted defense measures in advance to ensure that the dikes do not breach; in terms of flood prevention on other rivers, focus on scientific dispatching of reservoir groups, intercepting floods and reducing peaks, and reducing flood control pressure on downstream rivers as much as possible.

In terms of flood disaster prevention, the water conservancy department has fully utilized the flood disaster prevention system, strengthened monitoring and forecasting, and strictly implemented the disaster warning "call and respond" mechanism and the five key links of "who organizes, who transfers, when to transfer, where to transfer, and not to return without authorization" responsibilities and measures. In addition, the water conservancy department closely monitors the subsequent typhoon generation, development trend and movement path, and prepares preventive response measures in advance.
