UPDATE on the 3 Gorges  dam and entire area upstream and downstream



The rains are not stopping

Heavy downpours in southwest China's Sichuan Province, the nearby megacity of Chongqing, and Gansu Province have left many areas submerged in water as the Yangtze River and several of its tributaries overflowed.



The severity of the rainstorms led China's Ministry of Water Resources to issue a stark warning late on Aug. 18 about the water level at the Three Gorges Reservoir, which is located on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.



The water coming into the dam is expected to reach more than 74,000 cubic meters per second in the morning on Aug. 20, the highest level since the dam was commissioned in 2003, the ministry said, according to a report by Chinese state-run media Xinhua.



U.S.-based think tank the Heritage Foundation warned in early August that excessive flooding put dams located on the upstream of the Yangtze River under increasing stress.



Should the Three Gorges dam collapse, the think tank said the massive torrent of water would affect millions living downstream, inundating cities including Wuhan and wiping out extensive cropland, with China already threatened by a food shortage.



In Sichuan, local authorities raised the flood control response to the highest level (level one) of China's four-tier system on Aug. 18, one day after raising its level from three to two, according to Xinhua. Floodwaters forced local authorities to evacuate more than 100,000 people on Aug. 18, some of them residents of Ya'an, who had to escape after the city's water banks burst on Aug. 17.





China has been grappling with heavy rainstorms since June. Floods have affected at least 54.8 million people in 27 provinces and regions, according to the latest data from China's Ministry of Emergency Management. But some Chinese netizens question the authorities' data and believe the true number of casualties to be higher.
