Massive flood creates a waterfall in a local Chinese market. Authorities say flood control is now at a critical stage: mobile.twitter.com/ChinaInFocusNTD
- China is now facing historic heavy rainfall and floods that are occurring at an early moment prior to the start of their annual flood season. The scale of the heavy rain and flooding can reasonably be said to be affecting roughly ~3/4 of the Yangtze River region. The reason why the Yangtze River region is significant, is because this river is what flows into, and through, the 3GD. Considering the current geopolitical tensions, the effects of these heavy rains and floods are likely to have a negative impact on China's economic and agricultural output and may even threaten the CCP's hold on power. In fact, recent information slowly emerging from China suggests this event will bring serious implications for the Chicoms, regardless of whether or not the Three Gorges Dam (3GD) experiences structural damage. So far information has been shared which both reports on, and shows evidence of, property and agricultural damage on a massive scale. The most important factor to remember here, is that all of these events are occurring at the start of their annual flood season (which runs from July-August), and even without the 3GD suffering from structural damage. Finally, to make this discussion even more interesting, Wuhan just reported a red alert rain warning. Since Wuhan is located downstream from the 3GD, it's plausible Wuhan will soon be flooded.
Thank you for lending your time with this matter.

But why did the image of the dam change over the years to become curvier and curvier? And let alone the surrounding areas weren't changed at all. Wouldnt this video just mean the dam is in some other random direction then what is shown?

>THREADLY REMINDER THAT BY THEIR OWN STATISTICS, OVER TWENTY SIX THOUSAND DAMS IN CHINA ARE STRUCTURALLY UNSAFE
>DEPUTY WATER MINISTER Somebody enlighten me. Do these people just make up and establish professionals in every single area of humongous failure that is about to happen? What other countries have a fucking Deputy Water Minister? Is that even a real thing? Did they literally just make that position up and filled it to make it seem like they have professionals working on exactly the issue they are currently entailing?
Wow that's just the shit ones. China is a big country aye?

>What is the chance that this will happen? Honestly, they are most likely just going to open the whole thing up and flood the shit out of downstream rather than loose the dam.

America almost certainly has a similar or equivalent job title somewhere.

Do people really think this dam will collapse? This has been predicted since at least 2017 and nothing has ever happened.
It might not be possible to open it safely at this point. Fully opening it could fail as it’s blocked by sediment and debris or it could cause the failure itself through other means.

There's reactors downstream, they're completely fucked either way.
It usually falls under a department of infrastructure. We call it Rijkswaterstaat, "Nation's Water Condition". They check the rivers, the dams, the dikes and levees, and with the advent of tarmac roads they've taken on road infrastructure too. It's typically a provincial thing too. China probably has a deputy water minister for each river.

I posted this video in the last thread, but I'll post it again because it has some fun facts:
1. Footage of concrete pouring at 2:02 and 9:30 2. Releasing water through the sluice gates (as opposed to the turbines) shakes the surrounding area as much as small earthquake. 3. The dam provides 1/6 of China's electricity. 4. Even if the dam itself remains undamaged, damage to the locks (perhaps from a bunch of flood debris floating downstream from Chongqing) would seriously hurt the Chinese economy.
Pictures 3 and 4 look like they are releasing water from the sluice gates, which they said they weren't doing yet.

If the dam fails, the Most likely scenario is that bypass gets clogged up by a lot of debris and water flow gets restricted allowing for catastrophic buildup leading to collapse t. Learned about dams since yesterday
