Liaoning transferred more than 70,000 people, and 295 flood fighting and rescue teams fought day and night. Why did Raoyang River burst its banks?
On August 1 day, 2022, serious water seepage occurred in the pipe gallery of the fourth section of the tree on the left bank of Raoyang River. Panjin flood control headquarters immediately launched the first-level emergency response to flood control and mobilized personnel and materials for emergency rescue. But the dam was broken when it was built, and the width of the breach was about 20 years later. The next day, the width of the gap reached 50 meters. After that, the severe flood disaster caused huge disasters in many counties and townships, with more than 400,000 people affected, an affected area of more than 654.38+10,000 hectares, and direct economic losses of more than RMB1300 million.
The sudden heavy rainfall in Liaoning province led to a sudden increase in river water volume and turned it into a flood. The Aoyang River has not been flooded for many years, and the riverbanks around the Yanghe River have not been maintained for many years, and the maintenance efforts are not enough. This is why the Yangtze River and the weather are coming. At a place not lower than the flood, the strength is broken and the width of the breach is still increasing. Then people and crops nearby were seriously affected. Fortunately, after that, several flood control teams stopped the dam and repaired the breach, and the disaster situation improved.
From this incident, it shows that rivers should be consolidated and maintained regularly to avoid such sudden weather conditions and sudden floods. This disaster is also a heavy loss. I hope that the heavy rainfall will stop as soon as possible and the disaster will pass as soon as possible.
