甘肃境内黄河干流局段堤防现险情

甘肃省水利厅20日披露，截至8月上旬不完全统计，甘肃境内黄河沿岸出现堤岸坍塌受损77处4.7公里、浸水沉陷38.3公里，水毁泵站、渠首等299座，白银、兰州、临夏3市(州)2.2万亩滩地被淹，影响和损失1.15亿元人民币。

Lanzhou (CNS) -- Nearly 80 sections of embankment along the Yellow River in Gansu Province have been severely damaged by heavy rainfall as of August 10, resulting in economic losses of 115 million yuan, the local bureau of water resources said earlier today, citing incomplete statistics.

The authority said 299 pump stations and canal heads were destroyed by flooding and 1,467 hectares of riverfront land in the cities of Baiyin, Lanzhou and Linxia were submerged.

Two dikes in Lanzhou also collapsed on July 31 and August 9, the bureau said.

The maximum flow at the Lanzhou section of the river is expected to reach 4,000 cubic meters per second in mid and late August, which means flood control work is still heavy.
