The continuous heavy rains in southern China, flooding in the Yangtze River Basin, the Three Gorges Dam spared no effort to discharge the floods to protect itself, causing floods in many places. On 12 July, the official media of the Communist Party of China claimed that the Three Gorges Dam had done its best, and the Three Gorges Dam was too difficult! The Three Gorges Dam is also helpless, and it has been exposed that once the Three Gorges dam breaks, it will continue to flood into Nanjing.
Over the past few days, Mr. Jin Ming (pseudonym), a Jiangxi flood control officer on the front line, told the Sound of Hope: The upper reaches of the Yangtze River may have broken the levee, and the official blockade news.
He said that the area where he is located is about 3 kilometers away from the main road of the Yangtze River. Their flood prevention section is in the tributary of the Yangtze River, but the rain is flooding rapidly. It is a large enclosing area because most of the Jiangnan area is one by one. The surrounding area, inferring that the water on the main road of the Yangtze River should be quite large!
Mr. Jin estimated that the main road of the Yangtze River may have broken the levee, that is, the upper dyke broke, but the government did not announce it, and the media did not report it in time. It felt too incredible. He called on the international community to pay attention to the safety of the Chinese people.
At present, southern China has been receiving heavy rainfall for one month in a row. The flooding in 27 provinces and regions has been urgent. Because the water level of the Yangtze River continues to rise, the water level of the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River that has been immersed in the water for several days has exceeded the highest record since 1931 on the 11th. .
The water level of Hankou is 28.45 metres, the warning level is 1.1 metres, and the guaranteed water level of 29.73 is only 1.3 metres! Wuchang Guanjiang Pavilion has been submerged by the flood and only the top can be seen. The video released by netizens shows that the water surface of the Yangtze River in Wuhan, Hankou, is now significantly higher than the road surface along the Yangtze River Avenue separated by a dike, and the Yangtze River has become a suspended river in Wuhan.
On 12 July, the authorities upgraded the flood control emergency response to level Ⅱ. Wuhan Yanjiang Avenue is strengthening the embankment in an all-round way.
Under the continuous heavy rain, the Three Gorges dam has been flooded daily for self-protection, which has aggravated the flood situation in the entire Yangtze River basin. The flood situation in Hubei, Jiangxi, Nanjing, Jiangsu and other places has become urgent.
Official media exposed the thrilling inside story of the Three Gorges dam break
The official media of the Communist Party of China published articles on the 12th entitled: "The Three Gorges Dam has done its best, please stop blaming it", "Sorry, the Three Gorges Dam has done its best!"
The article said that the Three Gorges Dam was too difficult this time! This time the Three Gorges Dam was helpless! Flooding above the warning level in 52 rivers in 8 provinces! The people of Hubei are really difficult this year. The epidemic has closed the house for a few months. Now it is raining again. The crops have been flooded for a few days. More than half of them died after the water receded, not to mention aquaculture.
The article reiterates that the Three Gorges Dam has done its best, please stop blaming it! In the past few weeks, the Three Gorges Dam stopped the flooding due to heavy rains in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which kept the lower reaches. However, recently, the rainfall in Jiangxi, Anhui and other places, and it is a rare heavy rainfall in a century! The place where the rain falls this time is the lower reaches. No matter how great the Three Gorges is, it can't be stopped!
The Three Gorges Dam was completed in 2009, and the reservoir area extends about 600 kilometres upstream. The article said that the Three Gorges Dam can store tens of billions of cubic meters of water resources. At the same time, it also caused some concerns about the flooding in the downstream area, because we all know that if the dike breaks, many cities in the downstream will be submerged in the water.
The article exposes that if the Three Gorges Dam collapses across the board, the reservoir will be dumped in tens of billions, and the flow rate will be as high as 100 kilometres per hour, then in 5 hours will flood the Hubei Jianghan Plain, Jingzhou, Yichang and other areas, and 10 hours of flooding can dump into Wuhan, Nanjing can be reached within 24 hours and such a loss will be even more immeasurable!
The Three Gorges Dam Break Crisis: Wuhan, Nanjing and Shanghai are hard to escape
Prior to this, an article on mainland China's Weibo titled "How Terrible Should the Three Gorges Dam Break?", referring to Sichuan University Hydropower graduates working on the dam, said the Three Gorges Dam was very critical and exploded. , I don’t know how to explode, dismantle, or do not know how to dismantle, nor do I know how to maintain... It’s very critical, and I am in panic every day.
The article said that when the Three Gorges Dam broke down, more than 10 billion cubic meters of reservoir water would be discharged in a short period of time. The dam site to the coast between Shashi was directly affected by the floods and caused severe disaster losses.
The maximum flow of the dam-breaking flood peak will reach 1 million to 2.37 million cubic meters per second, and the discharge flood peak will reach the Gezhouba water conservancy hub at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. At that time, the flood peak will still reach 310,000 cubic meters per second. After the flood damages the Gezhouba dam Entering the urban area of Yichang, the flow rate of flood water in Yichang City is still 65 kilometers per hour. After 4-5 hours of dam break, the water level of Yichang City will be as high as 64-71 meters above sea level.
The article said that in this way, Yichang City is already 20 meters underwater, and local residents have little chance to escape, because half an hour after the dam break, Hong Feng has arrived in Yichang City, and the loss of people in Yichang City alone will be as high as 500,000.
Not only can Yichang not be maintained, Shashi cannot be maintained, the Jianghan Plain cannot be maintained, Wuhan cannot be maintained, nor can the Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Kowloon Railways. The flood affected the area all the way to Nanjing.
The article said that Hong Feng arrived in Wuhan within 10 hours and Nanjing within 1 day. A dozen or tens of meters high flooded across the building, it is difficult to imagine that the people can escape. It is difficult to count how many people drowned.
Wang Weiluo, a well-known Three Gorges Dam expert, also said that if the Three Gorges dam breaks, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will play until Shanghai is completed. Not only the floods, but also 2 to 3 billion cubic meters of sediment, the destructive power is more powerful than the floods.
