Geographically, Henan spans four major river basins: the Yellow River, the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River. There are more than 560 rivers in the province, with a drainage area of 100 square kilometers.
Moreover, because the topography of Henan Province is high in the west and low in the east, and the eastern part is mostly hilly and plain, it is not easy to flood when the water potential is fierce in flood season, which is easy to cause waterlogging.
As we all know, the riverbed of the Yellow River in Henan is 6 or 7 meters above the ground on average, which is a veritable river hanging on the ground! It is a real bomb hanging over Henan.
From Dayu's flood control in history to Huaihe River control in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people of Henan have been fighting floods. However, due to its special location, once it encounters bad weather, floods will still bring great troubles to people's production and life.
Just like this catastrophic flood in Henan.
First, the city is seriously waterlogged.
In these disaster-stricken areas, urban waterlogging is serious and people's lives and property are seriously threatened. There were casualties, mainly property losses.
On urban roads, there are countless vehicles with blisters, and these losses are difficult to estimate. There are also shops flooded, goods flooded, and heavy losses. The residents living on the first floor were flooded, and the basement was flooded, resulting in heavy property losses.
Second, the flood storage area suffered heavy losses.
In order to alleviate urban waterlogging and prevent major rivers from breaking their banks, some villages located in flood storage areas were flooded, resulting in heavy property losses to their homes. Wang Yang, corn and other crops suffered heavy losses in autumn, and some even failed to harvest grains.
Third, the flooded enterprises suffered huge losses.
Some enterprises in flood storage and detention areas and low-lying areas were flooded, and their property suffered huge losses, which affected the delivery of some order business and had a huge direct and indirect impact. Nearly 100 cars were flooded in our community alone, and one car lost nearly 10 million. How much is the loss of cars alone in Henan?
There is still a long way to go to control water in Henan.
