Affected by upstream water and continuous rainfall, the water level in Jiujiang section of the Yangtze River rises rapidly. By 20: 00 on July 20th of 12, the water level of Jiujiang Railway Station in the Yangtze River had reached 22.8 1 m, only 0.22 m away from the historical highest water level of 23.03 m at 1998, and the over-alert water level was 2.8 1 m, so the flood control situation was grim.

Jiangxi Provincial Government Information Office, Provincial Emergency Management Department and Provincial Water Resources Department jointly held a press conference on flood control and disaster relief in the whole province. Since June 6, 2020, Jiangxi has experienced three rounds of concentrated rainfall, and local floods are serious. At the press conference, Xu Weiming, deputy director of Jiangxi Provincial Emergency Management Department, said that it is unlikely that there will be a 1998 flood in Jiangxi Province in the later period.

Extended data:

The flood control situation in Jiangxi Province is severe and complicated. It entered the flood season on March 4, 2020, 28 days earlier than in previous years, making it the earliest province in China. Since June, the flood disaster in Jiangxi Province has been escalating, especially since June 6, which has experienced three rounds of rainfall concentration. The multi-station floods in Jiangxi, Fuzhou, Xinhe and Raohe exceeded the warning, even exceeded the history, and local floods were serious.

"However, according to the analysis of current rain conditions and weather trends, it is unlikely that there will be a 1998 flood in our province in the later period." Xu Weiming said that the main reason is that since 1998, Jiangxi has carried out large-scale water conservancy construction, the flood control engineering system has been improved, and the ability of monitoring, forecasting and early warning of water and rain conditions has also been greatly developed.

The daily management, maintenance, inspection and defense during the flood control period have also been strengthened. "Generally speaking, our flood control capacity has been greatly improved." Although 1998 flood will not occur, according to the analysis of the Yangtze River Committee, there is more precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in July and August, and there is plenty of water in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. At present, the water level in the lake area is high, and there is a great possibility of regional flood in Poyang Lake.
