YICHANG, July 21 --The Three Gorges reservoir on Friday saw its highest
flood peak this year, but with no disruption of operations.
Located in central China's Hubei Province, the Three Gorges project, the
world's largest hydroelectric project, had a water flow of 43,000 cubic
meters per second at 8:00 p.m. Friday.
"We managed to keep water level under 144 meters by opening 16 of the 23
sluice gates to ease the flood pressure on the mid-lower reaches," said
Zhao Yunfa, a senior official with China Yangtze Three Gorges Project
Corporation (CTGPC).
The rising water level, due to the continuous rainfall on upper reaches
of the Yangtze River, has posed a threat to vessels between the dam and
Gezhou Dam Project, the first giant water conservative project built over
Yangtze River in 1989, 38 kilometers downstream.
"The water level is expected to fall gradually tomorrow," noted Zhao.
