Reality of Chinese floods:
👉The monsoon period in China is from July to September
👉The current flood started due to non stop 45-50 days rain during summer. Ever heard such things earlier
👉3 gorges dam height is biggest dam in world, basic function flood control
👉Its height is 175 mtrs n yesterdays water level is 164 mtrs. In last 10 days height increased by 12 mtrs
👉At current inflow rate it will take atleast 8-10 days for water reaching highest level
👉All talk about dam overflowing, 50 ft above its max level r all hearsay
👉The backwaters of 3 gorges dam extends 600 km
👉Lot of misleading reports about China not releasing enough water n chance of dam break
👉Wuhan, Nanjing, Shanghai important cities of China r already flooded due to rains n water release from dams
👉Only relief for China at the moment is industrial activity in these cities has not been affected due to floods
👉China is doing a delicate balancing act at this point
👉Only half the amount of inflow is released from dam to avoid complete flooding n shutdown of industrial
activity in important down stream cities
👉But not releasing enough water is increasing flood level in upstream cities, notably 3 rd largest Chinese city Chongqing 175 lac population which is 450 km away
👉China is hoping rains intensity slows down in coming days so that
controlled release of water from dam happens w/o worsening the already bad situation
👉Till date this flood has destroyed 9 % crop area, damaged properties worth billions, gave big blow to already stressed commercial activities majorly situated across the river banks
👉There is every chance of outbreak of some water borne disease due to areas being submerged for over a month in water
👉Geopolitics makes use of all vulnerabilities of enemy nation. By casting doubt on breakage of dam countries r sowing fear in minds of foreigners invested in
China
👉Everyone wants foreign co move out of China n choose their or their allies destination
👉This is factual position about Chinese flood
👉Difference between max height of dam n river level is 110 mtrs
👉If dam really collapses due to some sudden happening, crores will be washed away
👉Water with height of 50-80 mtr will gush out of dam with speed of 100km/hr
👉It will be very horrible scene
👉I will like CCP dismantled n China civilized, not destruction of common men.
