Chapter 857: Chapter 583: Theory Can’t Be Applied to Reality
By mid-June, so areas in the south and the Yangtze River Basin experienced heavy rainfall, causing floods to seemingly blossom everywhere.
Major floods successively occurred in the Xinjiang, Fu River, Changjiang, Xiu River, and Le’an River in the Poyang Lake system.
The flood peak at igang on the main stream of Xinjiang reached 29.84 ters, exceeding the historical highest water level by 0.48 ters, with the flow rate reaching 12,200 cubic ters per second; the flood peak at the Lijiadu Hydrological Station on Fu River reached 33.08 ters, also exceeding the historical high, with a corresponding flow rate of 7,000 cubic ters per second!
The flood peak at Duchenkeng on Changjiang reached 34.27 ters, surpassing the historical highest water level by 0.85 ters. The flood peak of Xiu River reached 22.82 ters, nearing the historical high!
The Jianfu Min River main stream, which experienced major flooding two months ago but only ranked third in history, was influenced by upstream tributaries Jianxi and Futun Creek, resulting in the largest recorded flood. The flood peak was 16.9 ters, with a corresponding flow rate of 32,800 cubic ters per second, reportedly a once-in-a-century event!
It’s worth ntioning that whether to invest in flood control infrastructure makes a significant difference.
Fuzhou City successfully withstood this century’s flood on the Min River, protecting the city’s safety, thanks to previously reinforced and raised nearly forty kiloters of urban flood embanknts.
Imdiately afterward, Xiguang province’s Guijiang experienced the largest flood in history. On the 24th, the flood peak at the Guilin Hydrological Station reached 147.7 ters, with a flow rate of 5,200 cubic ters per second.
Indeed, Guilin’s landscape is unmatched.
Yet, yesterday’s TV news reported that most of Guilin’s city area was flooded, averaging more than 1 ter in depth. Reportedly, if not for the upstream Qingshitan Reservoir retaining a large amount of floodwater, the subrged depth in Guilin City could have increased by another ter!
Just after the National Flood Control Headquarters deployed flood prevention work for Guijiang and Guilin City, Wuzhou’s flood prevention situation beca very severe.
Xiao Yu, having visited few places, wasn’t just poor at geography; he never studied it. Just as he located Wuzhou on the map, TV news reported Nenjiang experiencing its first flood peak, with the main stream flood peak at 170.34 ters!
"Over 170 ters, taller than a twenty-story building, it’s frightening."
Dongdong is in the middle of taking the high school entrance exam, which is a big deal, so Sister Han Ning and Brother-in-law Jiang Kun both took leave to go to the East Sea.
Acting Director Chen Zikun of Linghai Police Station went to Changhang Police Academy for training two months ago and won’t return until mid-July. The Deputy Instructor Zhang Ping from Linghai Police Station is on an exchange assignnt at the Changhang Guzhou Branch.
Although Bailong Port Police Station, like Dongqi Police Station, is one of the most leisurely stations under the Changhang Bureau, it can’t be left unattended. Xiao Yu hasn’t gone to Sanhe these days. He is on duty at Bailong Port with Gong Jian and his police academy intern, Xiao Chen.
With nothing much to do, he could only watch TV.
Seeing him muttering, Xiao Gong said, "Captain Yu, Nenjiang should be in the mountainous area. If it were here, we’d be dood!"
Xiao Yu stood up again, looking at the "Map of China" on the wall, furrowing his brows and said, "Where exactly is Nenjiang, why can’t I find it?"
"Let
see. It’s impossible not to find it."
Xiao Gong and Xiao Chen ca over to help, and after searching for a long ti, the three finally found it.
Feeling his chin, Xiao Yu said puzzledly, "North at the top, south at the bottom; so Nenjiang is in the north. But there are no big rivers or seas up north. How can it flood there?"
"Captain Yu, there are big rivers up north."
"What big rivers?"
"Heilong River. Secretary Yu ntioned before that the Heilong River also has a shipping police bureau, at the sa level as our Changhang Police Bureau."
Just as Xiao Gong finished speaking, Xiao Chen laughed and said, "What Heilong River, that’s the Songhua River!"
Turns out it wasn’t just him who was poor at geography...
Xiao Yu laughed and turned back, saying, "Did you hear that? It’s the Songhua River, not the Heilong River. If you can’t rember, just think of century eggs, eating century eggs will remind you of the Songhua River."
Xiao Gong felt embarrassed, just thinking of how to cover up the awkwardness when the phone on the desk rang, and he quickly picked it up to answer.
"Chief Han, what’s up, yes, yes, alright."
"Sister Ningning?"
"Hmm, she asked you to take the call."
What does she want, could it be Luo Wenjiang is up to sothing on the Dunship while I’m away?
Xiao Yu hurriedly took the call, fearing that the "territory" he painstakingly reclaid might be taken away by the Water Police Third Team again: "Sister Ningning, you’re looking for ?"
Han Xiangning opened the window and gazed at the distant river, holding the phone and asking, "Have you called your dad these days?"
Xiao Yu was stunned for a mont, then said, "I haven’t called him. He called ho, but it was my grandpa who answered."
"Don’t you miss Little Crocodile? There’s nothing going on at Bailong Port, so why don’t you give your dad and mom a call?"
"I... I forgot. I’ll call later."
"Xiao Yu, it’s not that I’m saying this, you’re twenty-six now. You have a child, you can’t just play around."
Even Secretary Yu is afraid of the "Boss Lady
