What is the situation of the largest resettlement site in Zhuozhou?

According to the reporter, Zhuozhou Vocational Education Center is the largest resettlement site in the rainstorm and flood disaster in Zhuozhou. At present, more than 2000 trapped people have been resettled here.

This resettlement site will be opened from the evening of July 31st, and there is a dedicated catering enterprise to ensure the three meals a day for the resettlement population. At the same time, basic living materials are also prepared here. The medical room of Zhuozhou Vocational Education Center School itself also has medical staff on duty, providing medical security services to the public.

In addition, enthusiastic people have come to donate supplies, including towels, blankets, blankets, and other daily necessities.

What are the difficulties in rescue?

It is understood that some trapped people are still in a state of power outage and power outage, and rescue teams find it difficult to determine the specific location and number of trapped people. They can only guide search and rescue work through personnel who are familiar with the local situation.

In addition, due to the turbid water, rescue personnel are not aware of the underwater situation. Some rescue kayaks on site were scratched by sharp objects, increasing the difficulty of rescue efforts.

When can power be restored?

The reporter learned that some residential areas in Zhuozhou City have seen a decrease in water accumulation. The local power department is carrying out emergency power supply work for eligible residential areas, which can ensure basic electricity needs such as lighting, elevators, and charging.

For some residents in flood storage and detention areas, considering the possibility of electric shock and other issues, they are still in a state of power outage. The power department will decide the next step of work based on the water level and water situation.

Where do the floods in Zhuozhou mainly come from?

Li Na, Deputy Director of the Water Resources Department of Hebei Province, introduced that the rainfall in Zhuozhou was very heavy this time, with an average rainfall of 398 millimeters in the city.

In addition, multiple rivers converge in Zhuozhou, with the maximum flood peak of 4500 cubic meters per second in the upper reaches of the Beijuma River. At the same time, there is also water from Fangshan District in Beijing, and the water from the Liuli River and Xiaoqing River also exceeds 3000 cubic meters per second, which has a great impact on the flood control of Zhuozhou.

Li Na introduced that although the precipitation has ended so far, due to the process of river water level falling, it is predicted that there will still be 300 to 400 million cubic meters of water passing through Zhuozhou in the later stage.

Hebei opens 7 flood storage and detention areas

How effective is it?

This flood involves four river basins in Hebei Province - Daqing River, Yongding River, Ziya River, and North Canal. At present, Hebei Province has opened a total of seven flood storage and detention areas in the three river systems of Yongding River, Daqing River, and Ziya River.

Among them, the Xiaoqinghe and Langouwa flood diversion areas are located around Zhuozhou and are also two flood diversion areas of the Hebei branch of the Daqing River system. They converge the water from the Baigou River and the Nanjuma River through the Xingaifang spillway in Xiong'an to Dongdian, then through the Dongdian flood storage and detention area, passing through the Tianjin Duliujian River, and finally gathering in the Bohai Sea.

These two flood storage and detention areas have played a significant role in the entire Daqing River flood control engineering system, effectively reducing the downstream flood control pressure.

When can the flood storage and detention area recede?

At present, the rainfall has stopped and the water level of the entire river is in a continuous process of falling, but attenuation still requires time.

For the flood storage and detention areas that have already been put into use, a large amount of water has already entered the farmland of the village, and the process of water withdrawal in the flood storage and detention areas requires a process. In areas with high terrain, the water recedes relatively quickly, while in areas with low terrain, the water recedes slowly. The fast ones are estimated to fade away in about a week, while the slow ones may last longer, reaching about a month.
