The worst flood that hit the Haihe River Basin in North China since 1963 has exposed weaknesses in monitoring and forecasting capabilities for floods, said China’s Ministry of Water Resources (MWR) on Monday.
From July 28 to August 1, some 22 rivers in the basin experienced above-warning level flooding, and eight rivers reported the largest floods ever recorded, said MWR officials at a news conference. The disaster has caused 61 deaths, and millions of people were impacted.
Members of a post-disaster reconstruction working group recently walked into the flooded Xinle village, located in Wuchang city of Northeast China s Heilongjiang Province, to investigate and identify flood-hit houses. According to estimates, review of all the homes in 24 townships will complete in three to four days.
