On August 6, 2009, the largest flood peak in the Yangtze River in five years passed the dam smoothly
On August 6, 2009 (June 16, 2009 in the lunar calendar), the largest flood peak of the Yangtze River in five years successfully passed the dam. On August 6, 2009, the Yangtze River's largest flood peak in five years successfully passed through the Three Gorges and is moving downstream. Benefiting from the regulation and storage of the Three Gorges Reservoir, the flood control pressure on the main and tributaries of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River has been slightly reduced, but all parts along the Yangtze River are still waiting to ensure smooth transit of flood peaks. Starting from 8:00 on August 6, the largest flood peak since the Yangtze River entered the flood season began to pass through the Three Gorges Dam, with a peak flow passing through the dam of 55000 cubic meters per second. The flow rate is second only to the flood of 60500 cubic meters per second that occurred on September 8, 2004. The safety monitoring data shows that when the flood passed through the hub building, all indicators were within the specified range, there was no abnormality in the geology along the reservoir area near the dam, and the hub project was operating safely and normally. In order to reduce the flood control pressure on the Hubei section of the main stream of the Yangtze River and the Jingnan Fourth River, the Yangtze River Flood Control General Administration has implemented interception and storage dispatch on the Three Gorges Reservoir starting from 18:00 on August 4, and the maximum discharge flow will be controlled at no more than 40000 cubic meters per second. The water level of the Three Gorges Reservoir slowly rose from the flood limit level of 145 meters to 149.40 meters at 20:00 on the 6th. Monitoring by the Hydrology Bureau of the Yangtze River Commission showed that the water levels at Hankou Station and Shashi Station continued to rise at 20:00 on the 6th, reaching 23.52 meters and 41.42 meters, and the water level at Yichang Station dropped slightly at 50.84 meters. After the Three Gorges Reservoir started regulation and storage, it is expected that the water level in the Yangtze River section in Hubei will not exceed the fortification level. The Jingnan Four Rivers will generally exceed the fortification level, but they will not exceed the warning level, and the flood control pressure will be greatly reduced. In response to the flood process in the Yangtze River and the Jingnan Four Rivers, the flood control department of Hubei Province held a special meeting and chamber of commerce to study the response to the deployment and inspection of the Yangtze River and the Jingnan Four Rivers, and required all localities to strictly organize deployment and inspection in accordance with the provisions of the plan, promptly discover dangerous situations and hidden dangers, and quickly organize disposal to ensure flood control safety. On the over-fortified 186.8-kilometer embankment section in Songzi City and Gong 'an County in Jingzhou, 2253 cadres and masses are deploying and inspecting, and no dangerous situation has been found. Comments: The Three Gorges has begun to play a flood prevention function. Thanks to the staff of China's water conservancy front.
