"Isn't the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River downstream?"
"Although the two rivers meet point is not on our side, and the floodwaters from the Han River won't flood us, they will back up the water from the upper Yangtze River, bringing unprecedented pressure to Hanwu, and at the same time, pushing up our water levels."
"Then why doesn't Master Xi recommend flood diversion?"
"Master Xi is not only concerned about the hundreds of thousands of people on the other side."
Han Yu looked at the time on the phone strapped to his chest and explained: "After repeated calculations, he and his colleagues came up with a set of data. Although this flood peak is ferocious and will cause the water level at Jingjiang to rise very high, it should not exceed the fourth flood peak. Moreover, the water level is very high, and the flow is swift, but the volume is not very large.
