Revolutionary Flood Control Measures Proposed for Yangtze River in Hubei
The article discusses the challenges faced in controlling floods in the Yangtze River in Hubei province. The main issues identified include inadequate flood planning, poor river-lake relationships, weak dike segments, and operational difficulties in flood diversion areas. Solutions proposed include strengthening dikes, increasing channel flow capacity, establishing flood retention basin security, and constructing controlled reservoirs. The researchers anticipate improved flood control after completing the Three Gorges Project.
