China Declares First Major Flood of 2025 in Luanhe River

On Monday, water conservancy authorities declared the first major flood of 2025 in China, affecting the Luanhe River. This river is situated within the Haihe River Basin in northern China.

The Luanhe River's water levels have increased due to recent heavy rainfall. The Haihe River Water Conservancy Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources reported that at 4:30 a.m. on Monday, the inflow rate at the Panjiakou Reservoir on the Luanhe River's main stream reached 2,270 cubic meters per second.

This event signifies the initial flood of 2025 for the Luanhe River and, concurrently, the first for all major rivers across the nation in the same year. Authorities anticipate a peak inflow rate of approximately 4,000 cubic meters per second at the Panjiakou Reservoir later on Monday.

Beijing, also part of the Haihe River Basin, has been impacted by heavy rainfall in recent days. The torrential rains have led to the evacuation of over 3,000 residents in the Miyun district, a suburban area of Beijing.

China has been numbering floods since 1998. This system serves to inform the public about which rivers are experiencing flooding and to raise awareness about flood prevention. It also prompts flood control departments to assess the risk of embankment failures and to intensify patrols and inspections of embankments and flood control measures.

Floods are a natural disaster, but it’s great to see how quickly the authorities react!

Declaring a flood for the Luanhe River is alarming. We need better solutions, not just declarations!

Flood management might be a complex task, but I believe our authorities are doing their best.

The government talks a big game about awareness but doesn't take substantial steps to prevent flooding.
