What is the terrain like in Zhuozhou?

The terrain of Zhuozhou City is generally characterized by high in the west and low in the east, and the terrain is relatively flat. The whole territory is located in the front inclined area of Taihang Mountain, which inclines from northwest to southeast. The highest altitude is 69.4m, the lowest altitude is 19.8m, and the ground slope is about 1/660. The landform is influenced by the alluvial of Juma River, and there are two terraces in the north and south, with the height difference ranging from 2 to 4 meters.

Zhuozhou city is adjacent to Beijing, located in the northwest of North China Plain, southwest of Beijing, and at the south gate of Gyeonggi. It is located between east longitude115 44'-115' and north latitude 39 21'-39 36', bordering Gu 'an County in the east and Gu 'an County in the west. The horizontal distance from east to west is 36.5 kilometers, and the vertical distance from north to south is 25.5 kilometers, with a total area of 75 1 square kilometer.

Zhuozhou topography caused flood disaster.

Topographically, Zhuozhou is located at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and the terrain is very flat. When Typhoon Du passed through Zhuozhou, it happened to be blocked by Taihang Mountain. Coupled with the influence of cold air, it is very prone to short-term extreme rainstorm.

Extreme rainstorm weather may occur all over the country, but Zhuozhou has a special terrain and the flood disaster is more serious. All kinds of rain from Taihang Mountain come down to Zhuozhou, because there are too many rivers in Zhuozhou, such as Yongding River, Baigou River, Xiaoqing River, Liulihe River, BeiJuma River, Huliang River, etc., and the rain from Beijing finally flows to Zhuozhou. Zhuozhou became a catchment basin.

And because Zhuozhou is not a mountainous area like Mentougou in Beijing, Zhuozhou is a plain land. After the flood reached Zhuozhou, the drainage was not so fast. In addition, continuous rainfall and slow drainage can easily lead to long-term floods.
