[Number of Rivers Exceeding Warning Levels Nationwide Since the Start of the Flood Season is Significantly Higher Than the Five-Year Average] At a press conference held today by the Ministry of Water Resources on the situation of flood and drought disaster prevention, it was learned that the cumulative average rainfall across the country this year is 170 mm, 5% higher than the average for the same period in previous years. Since the start of the flood season, the flood situation in major rivers across the country has been generally stable, with 146 rivers in 18 provinces experiencing floods exceeding warning levels, 50% higher than the five-year average (96 rivers), most of which are small and medium-sized rivers. Starting June 1st, my country will fully enter the flood season, with southern regions entering the main flood season. Water resources departments will strengthen their duty and early warning systems, enhance flood response to small and medium-sized rivers, and ensure the safe passage of water conservancy projects through the flood season.
