Due to heavy rainfall, water levels in the Minjiang and Jialing Rivers, as well as the Three Gorges section of the upper Yangtze River, have significantly increased. The inflow to the Three Gorges Reservoir surged rapidly, reaching 50,000 cubic meters per second at 6pm local time on July 11, meeting the flood standard. The Yangtze River Water Resources Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources officially announced the formation of the “Yangtze River 2024 No. 2 Flood” in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In preparation for the upcoming peak flood, the Three Gorges Dam began discharging water on July 9.
