A dyke is being dug to
channel water flooding into Bijiaxiang, Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, back
into the Weihe River, September 11, 2003. About 4,000 cubic meters of
water is expected to flow through the 200-meter-gap per second; 5-10 days will
be needed to discharge of the water. Weihe River is a tributary of the Yellow River
where recent heavy rains have forced water levels to
soar.[newsphoto.com.cn]
