The water level of the Huaihe River has been dropping in its middle reaches
as the flood crest flows downstream.
According to the Huaihe River Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters,
water level at Runheji and Zhengyangguan had dropped below the warning lines
Monday.
In contrast, water level of the Hongze Lake in the lower reaches has been
rising.
Jiangsu Province, in the lower reaches of the river, has taken measures to
facilitate the river's water flow to the sea.
Still, the Huaihe River flood control headquarters urged all localities along
the river to keep high vigilance to safeguard the safety of the embankments.
