The Ministry of Water Resources shall closely monitor the weather situation, roll out flood forecast by river and key station, and timely discuss and judge. The Pearl River Water Resources Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources launched the three-level emergency response for flood control and issued river flood early warning to the society in a timely manner. In view of the drought in some areas in the north, the Ministry of Water Resources organized the Yellow River, Huaihe River and Haihe River Water Conservancy Commissions to work with the water conservancy departments of the provinces in the dry areas to study the drought emergency dispatching plan. 456 large and medium-sized irrigation areas in the dry areas can divert water and should irrigate as much as possible.
