On July 28, Fujian Province was struck by the year's most powerful typhoon, which brought with it strong winds and torrential rainfall that swept across the region. The province faced an unprecedented deluge, leading to severe flooding and presenting significant challenges to local authorities and residents.

Upstream dams may have to release more, its to compensate for that possibility, as well as any potential problems at 3g we dont know about
It is getting older and Chinese concrete and angle iron doesn’t have a great worldwide reputation
Czar Kerry needs to over there and scold them for all the pollution and carbon they are unleashing.
If we could arrange this for San Francisco, it might wash most of the poop and addicts off the streets.
Unfortunately, the cockroaches and politicians would survive.
I frood you rong time.

People are saying that there’s a huge silt buildup on the lake side of the dam that’s hurting the dam’s structural integrity when the lake fills too much.
Have seen several videos of the china flood in the Taipei news.
I watched the construction of the 3G dam as much as I could. They didn’t seem to be building in a way to flush silt. And the watershed that fills that thing is huge but yet they did little to nothing to clean the slopes that were going to be flooded. So, yeah, if silt clogs the locks and gets up to the hydro intake areas it will be in werry, werry seriwish twubble.
>They didn’t seem to be building in a way to flush silt
Yeah, they also kicked out all the EU/US technicians when the techs told them the rebar they were using wasn’t enough and the cement needed to be seated deeper into the bedrock (as the dam’s built on a river delta).
I expect the chicoms didn’t have to hear it from the Bidum Gang that the 3G might be a target. Never mind the main dam. Those locks are in range of a volley of Tomahawks and if even one door got hit chyna would never be the same. Another reason for Xi to be polite. And remember , they’ve been a bit testy over the USS Kentucky parked at a dock in South Korea. And the Kentucky can open those vertical launch tubes and fire while dockside-—should somebody get snippy.
There is that problem too. They have to dredge periodically to remove it.
There’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.
One of the things I remember about how they prepared the damsite was how they cleared the overburden. A thousand or so gooks with shovels, picks, buckets, and water hoses worked for something like two years to get the loose stuff off. They made little ditches and ran water down them to carry the mud away from the digging.
Only after they got the loose stuff off did he chicoms suck it up and buy a dozen bigaxx Caterpillar D9’s to do the heavy moving.
His ego couldn’t take the welcome Blinken got.

ZHUOZHOU, China (AP) — China’s capital recorded its heaviest rainfall in at least 140 years over the past few days as remnants of Typhoon Doksuri deluged the region, turning streets into canals where emergency crews used rubber boats to rescue stranded residents.
The city recorded 744.8 millimeters (29.3 inches) of rain between Saturday and Wednesday morning, the Beijing Meteorological Bureau said Wednesday.
Beijing and the surrounding province of Hebei were hit by severe flooding because of the record rainfall, with waters rising to dangerous levels. The rain destroyed roads and knocked out power and even pipes carrying drinking water. It flooded rivers surrounding the capital, leaving cars waterlogged, while lifting others onto bridges meant for pedestrians.
