Hangzhou<\/a> in East China’s Zhejiang province has used 18 reservoirs to discharge 210.96 million cubic meters of flood water brought by Typhoon In-Fa as of 2 pm on July 26, local media reported on July 27.<\/p>\n The highest water level of Gongchen Bridge in the city reached 2.68 meters, which surpassed the warning level, at 7 am on July 26. In response, the Sanpu drainage station initiated its four sets of drainage machines, with the forced drainage flow reaching a maximum of 200 cubic meters per second.<\/p>\n After 12 hours of continual operation, the Sanpu drainage station had drained 21.96 million cubic meters of water and Gongchen Bridge’s water level began to recede.<\/p>\n Hangzhou<\/a>‘s Chengxi River, which connects to the Qiangtang River, had the risk of river backflow after days of rain. To help the river reach a safe level, the Dadaosha pump station near Qiantang River was used to drain flood water for the first time since it started operation in 2011.<\/p>\n “Two hours after the pump station began operating, Dongmuwu River’s water level was reduced by six centimeters,” said Wang Jian from the Hangzhou Reservoir Management Service Center.<\/p>\n Another reservoir Qingshan closed all its gates at 6:40 am on July 26 to intercept the flood and to ensure the safety of Xixian Datang, an important flood barrier in northern Hangzhou<\/a>.<\/p>\n Media Contact<\/span>
