NEWSPAPER REPORT ON CHINA
Floods from small and mid-sized rivers and mountain torrents.
Floods and landslides affect many villages in the Miyun district of the capital, with therural town of Fengjiayu the most severely impacted, and electricity and communications
cut in some villages.
More than 3,000 people have been transferred out of the area.The flow into the Miyun Reservoir has increased, hitting a record peak of 6,550 cubic metres
per second.
Rain will intensify in most areas of the capital, with the expected cumulative rainfall in some areasreaching more than 100mm over six hours.
Beijing issued a warning on July 26 for geological disasters, including landslides and mudslides, after
intense rainfall unleashed, for a second time, a year's worth of rain on nearby Baoding.
Northern China has experienced record precipitation in recent years, exposing densely
populated cities to flood risks. Some scientists link the increased rainfall in China's usually arid north
to global warning.
The storms are part of the extreme weather pattern acoss China due to the East Asianmonsoon.
The Chinese authorities closely monitor extreme rainfall and severe flooding, as they
challenge China's ageing flood defences, threaten to displace millions and wreak havoc on
China's US$2.8 trillion agricultural sector.
