After Slamming Western Media "Hype", Chinese Officials Issue Highest Flood Alert As Three Gorges Dam Pushed To Limits

The Huaihe River Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources issued its highest flood alert Monday after the water level on the major river, located between the Yellow and the Yangtze Rivers, reached dangerous levels.

The water level at the Wangjiaba hydrological station on the Huaihe River reached 29.7 meters on Monday, well above the danger level of 27.5 meters.

The 1,000-kilometer river is a major waterway in China, is facing grim flooding risks over the next three days for parts of Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces.

Massive flooding upstream on the Yangtze River has also caused concern that the Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydroelectric power station in the world, is being pushed to the limit under the strain of massive flows of water.

thank you for posting, but that was slightly misleading. the warning is from a different facility on a differnt river.

that said, there is still a full media blackout on the dam, so who knows.

They've got a lot of flooding problems including the Three Gorges. It's kind of amazing to see.

I still don't think there'll be a catastrophic dam break but it's interesting to keep an eye on.

Interesting they even attempt to control the messaging on this. It's a giant freaking dam. If it breaks everyone will be well aware and internationally it will be readily apparent from satellite imagery. They'd be better off being truthful about this and trying to buy some street cred for when they need to lie about something that might actually be believable.

Where does your knowledge of China come from?

Extended family, friends, work, native fluency in the language and culture. Also lots of historical classics in Chinese.

No, I was not born in China/Taiwan. I can't tell you jack **** about Taiwan if I wanted to because I don't understand the politics.

Overly dramatic IMO but shows what could happen.

Anyone familar with fluid dynamics/ dam engineering?


Notice that appears to be a broken portion of the dam.
Edit: No 6 spillway.

Honestly, the simple fact that a country can UTTERLY silence 1.5 billion people and TOTALLY control all news should scare the living **** out of everyone.

This is considered a road map/planning example for Democrats.

I'd need to see a video or something.

Fluids get weird at high velocities and the slightest imperfections can cause weird ripples.

Unfortunately the video got taken down.

This guy can't help

Live feed was cut off :/

From the video, just looks like a dam in full wide open spillway conditions.

It's still going

It cut off at 2213 local time. The live feed, at least the one that's posted, it's just a regular video now with a start and an end. It is currently 0015 local time.

Ok I have a new link. Weird. It appears at the moment to be broadcasting nothing but a gray screen and some sort of white line.
