River Levels Rise to Highest Level in Decades in Northeast China
Epoch Times ^ | 07/08/2021 | Kathleen Li

Floodwaters exceeded safety levels by up to 13.6 feet across 14 monitoring stations in Heilongjiang Province on June 27 at 8 a.m., according to the Heilongjiang Province Hydrology and Water Resources Center. Eleven of the 14 monitoring stations are along the Heilong River, two along the Nen River, and one at the Huma River.

A local authority also confirmed that 5 of the 14 stations were under flood emergency status for exceeding safety levels (the maximum designed flood levels). The Sandaoka, Zhangdiyingzi Township, Changfa Tunjiang section of the Heilong River was the worst, exceeding the warning level by 13.6 feet—3 feet higher than the safety guarantee level.

At 11:31 a.m. on June 27, the Songliao River Water Resource Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources reissued an Orange Flood alert, the second-highest in China’s four-tier flood warning system.

A flood peak of the Heilongjiang River that pushed the water level to 337 feet hit Huma County on June 26 at 8 a.m., exceeding the warning level by approximately 11 feet.

The Heilong and Nen Rivers are the two major rivers in Heilongjiang Province in the northeast of China. The Heilong River, known as the Amur River in Russia, is the tenth longest river in the world. The rivers within Heilongjiang Province have been divided into two parts with flood alerts issued by different authorities, Songliao River Water Resource Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources and Heilongjiang Province Hydrology and Water Resources Center.

China’s Ministry of Water Resources launched a level III emergency response on June 21 for the first major flood of 2021 on the Nen River.

Lu Yao (pseudonym), a local resident in Tahe County, Heilongjiang, told The Epoch Times that the houses along the river in Tahe County had been soaked by the water and the crops were also flooded.

We are going into a La Nina year (”The Girl”). Therefore the western hemisphere will be dryer than normal. The eastern hemisphere will have more rain. Expect droughts in North America, flooding in Asia and much needed rain in Australia.

Looks like myrtle beach s.c. 3 years ago. So whats the big deal in china? Hell, in m.b. the houses were dried out, drywall stripped and then they were put back on the market and people were still buying them! Today people are living in 100’s of homes that were under several feet of Water just 3 years ago.

I wonder if those houses were built on a flood plain? It wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

What about the Crimea River? Tough ruck, China. We’ve got an Obama that claims he can turn the tide. You can have him.

But, but, if the globe is warming, shouldn’t the water be evaporating?

This is so confusing.

Excellent. What I want, as a resident of the northern US, is dryness in the winter. We need all our droughts from November 15 to March 15. Less snow to shovel and plow, ya know.

Hopefully The Girl hangs on until spring.

If 3 gorges go the ccp will be severely damaged if not even worse than that. I would predict mass revolution especially in outer provinces

"Glowbull warming."

Yeah. I wonder are they craven enough to blame Chinese flooding on it?

Floods like this happen there all the time. They never fix it.

Here is 1998 for example, sitting on their roof.

Socialism could fix this problem by redistributing rain in an equitable and non racist manner.
