China has swung into gear to fortify its flood-defense network ahead of what may be a heavy flood season, with 97 rivers across the country having already exceeded warning levels as of Thursday.
Observers said the Three Gorges project will be able to handle greater flooding than last year, so there's no need to hype the "deformation theory."
Along the Yangtze River basin, 47 reservoirs have been prepared to relieve floods, with a total flood control capacity of 69.5 billion cubic meters. Most of these reservoirs have been discharged to full levels, Wang Wei, an official with the flood and drought disaster prevention office of the Ministry of Water Resources, told state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) on Thursday.
The water level of the Three Gorges Reservoir was 150.83 meters as of Wednesday, and it is expected to fall under the flood limit before June 10 as planned, Wang said. The Yangtze River Water Resources Commission urged local authorities to be on 24-hour alert and set up a reporting system to cope with severe flood concerns.
The Ministry of Water Resources said that China is likely to see floods in seven major river basins, CCTV reported. Since May, at least 97 rivers have exceeded warning levels, a rise of about 10 percent from a year earlier.
Rivers in parts of southern China are experiencing record highs. In the coming weeks, precipitation is expected to rise further, Sun Chunpeng, director of the hydrological information and forecast center under the water resources ministry said in an interview with CCTV on Wednesday.

Good news.
They need some disaster to knock them down a few pegs.
Let it flood, let it flood, let it flood…
Three Gorges Dam would be a nice spot for a tomahawk strike.
I hope the flooding doesn’t kill 500,000 CCP government officials... with some new disease.
Most of these reservoirs have been discharged to full levels
Ya got yur ‘Great Reset’ and then ya got yur ‘Great Flush’ ..
I hate seeing major disasters hit any ‘civilized’ nation but considering it may take multiple flushes to get rid of the CCP and PLA, let it pour.
Probably climate change induced anyway.
I hope they got good flood insurance.
No flushing of the river will kill any CCP members - they will all be long gone - only the poor will remain to drown.
True, most of the elite&party agents left China long ago.
They live in villas , penthouses, work in research institutions and corporations and such where they can steal proprietary info and hobnob with others to gather trade secrets.

Make it rain!
That's if it hasn't already collapsed. Bloggers have pointed out that googling satellite maps of the area show a CGI rendering of the dam, in place of the warped and damaged dam. Magnifying the bridge shows a fake image superimposed on the surrounding terrain. Previous images have shown a heavily damaged, warped dam close to collapse.
The communists will use peasants to form a dam. Who cares if millions die. They got plenty more....
