Due to the influence of heavy rainfall clouds, several areas in this city have experienced heavy rainfall today. The Shanghai center Meteorological Observatory has updated the yellow warning signal of rainstorm to the blue warning signal of rainstorm at 11:00 on June 24, and the municipal flood control headquarters has synchronously adjusted to the level IV response action of the city's flood control stations.
The eastern part of Chongming District has severe waterlogging, making it difficult for residents to travel. In order to timely and comprehensively clear the drainage, relevant department staff rushed to the site for disposal as soon as possible.
At around 7 o'clock this morning, Zhang Liang, the director of Zhongxing Town Water Affairs Office in Chongming District, led his staff to several flooded areas to conduct on-site inspections. In Xingdong Group 8, Zhongxing Village, Zhongxing Town, the village river was waterlogged due to the rainstorm, and the villagers' house foundation was basically at the same level as the river water level. The staff immediately used submersible pumps to drain water. The terrain of Fuxu Village in Zhongxing Town is relatively low, and some factories in the village have been submerged. The situation has been alleviated by timely drainage.
"The situation is generally stable. Since the beginning of the rainy season, Chongming has experienced multiple rainfall events. The town has formulated flood control emergency plans, strengthened duty preparation, household promotion, and material reserves, and strictly implemented a 24-hour flood control duty system. To prevent the water level from rising due to heavy rainfall, we have been pre discharging and pre lowering the water level of some village level rivers since yesterday." Zhang Liang said.

The emergency firefighting and rescue workstation in Zhongxing Town has also played a role in flood prevention work. Workstation owner Song Saijin said that once villagers seek help, the workstation will immediately organize rescue personnel to rush to the location and use water pumps for drainage. "If the location is within the Zhongxing Town area, we can ensure that we arrive at the scene within 5 minutes of receiving the report for disposal."
At around 8 o'clock this morning, the cumulative rainfall in Xianghua Town had reached 112.5 millimeters, and several streets were severely flooded. Motor vehicles were slowly driving in the accumulated water. It is reported that after receiving the disaster warning issued by the district flood control office, Xianghua Town immediately entered a state of readiness and used drainage pumps, submersible pumps, and other means to pump and drain water near the Nanheng Yinhe River. Around noon, the accumulated water in the southern area of Xianghua Town was basically drained.
The reporter learned that in the northern area of Xianghua Town, the original Beiliu Dam has been moved outward, and a temporary dam has been built under the newly built bridge. The water level in the northern area of Xianghua Town exceeded the normal water level at one point. The relevant person in charge of the town stated that because the accumulated water in the southern region has been basically drained, the water level of the inland rivers in the northern region will gradually decrease.
Shi Wenjun, the director of the Haitang Station in Hengsha Township, told reporters that from 23:00 on June 23 to 8:00 on June 24, the process rainfall in different areas of Hengsha Island ranged from 120 millimeters to 160 millimeters, with an overall rainfall exceeding 100 millimeters. "The normal water level in Hengsha is 2.2 meters. A few days ago, we used a water gate to pre discharge and pre drop the water level. The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, the water level was lowered to about 1.4 meters, emptying the 'capillaries' of the inner river. At around 5 o'clock this morning, due to the high external tide, we started a strong discharge, and at around 7 o'clock, we turned off the strong discharge pump to start self discharge. The highest water level in the inner river in the morning was about 2.5 meters. After a series of efforts and the easing of rainfall, the water level in the inner river dropped to about 2.35 meters in the afternoon. It is expected that the water level will drop by nearly 20 centimeters at night on June 24th, returning to the normal level."
