China’s ministry of water resources said on Wednesday that the Pearl River basin in the south of the country could flood three more times in the coming days.
They are hereby calling for relevant preparations to be made.
The Xijiang, Beijiang, and Hanjiang rivers—three of the basin’s rivers—are expected to experience floods, the ministry said.
The heavy rain could also push the water levels of some of the basin’s small and medium-sized rivers above their warning lines, the ministry added.
The ministry has set key flood prevention tasks and ordered close monitoring of local weather conditions for all-out prevention.
The Pearl River is China’s third-longest river and its second-largest in terms of annual flow capacity.
The river runs through several regions, including Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi.
