The night is deep, and the command hall of the Jingzhou Flood Control Command Center is brightly lit, smoke swirling, with phone rings continuously chiming.
The water level of this flood peak has unexpectedly surpassed the sixth time, putting the entire line of embankments on both sides of the Jingjiang in emergency, the Yangtze River embankment, which has been soaked in floodwater for over a month, is at risk and fraught with danger.
All the civil dikes that could be opened to divert the flood have been opened, the upstream Gezhou Dam hub and several reservoirs that could be scheduled have been scheduled, even the Geheyan Reservoir on the Qingjiang mainstream more than 100 kilometers upstream is operating with risks.
