CYPC steps up Three Gorges flood controls as reservoir inflow hits 38,000 cubic meters per second
  • CYPC ramped Three Gorges Reservoir flood-control operations as inflows topped 30,000 cubic meters per second on Aug. 4.
  • Peak inflow reached 38,000 cubic meters per second at 08:00, driven by heavy rainfall across upstream basins.
  • Average daily outflow increased to 19,000 cubic meters per second from about 14,000 since July 28 to create flood-storage capacity.
  • Pre-emptive releases reserved 1.39 billion cubic meters of flood-control capacity, supporting downstream flood safety during a critical flood period.
