How high was the flood level in Beibei in 1981

On July 16, 1981, the Jialing River and the Yangtze River were flooded. At 14 o'clock, the water level of the flood peak of the Jialing River in Beibei reached 208 17 meters; At 21 o'clock, the water level of the Yangtze River in Cuntan, Chongqing reached 191 41 meters, which was second only to the great flood in 1905 in history. The Chaotianmen Flood Marker, which records the once-in-a-century flood on July 16, 1981, is at an altitude of meters above sea level, with a net increase in height compared to the low water level.

Due to the 24-hour drop of the flood peak, there is no wind and wave damage in the inland river, and the efforts of the army, the army and the citizens during the flood are less affected than the disaster.

At that time, the water level of the Yangtze River was meters, and the water level of the Jialing River was meters, and more than 220,000 people were affected by the disaster.

On the morning of July 16, 1981, the Caiyuanba Riverside Market by the Yangtze River had long been flooded; Ciqikou River Street by the Jialing River has been flooded; The Chaotianmen ferry was closed in advance. The water of the Jialing River has been ** to the stone ladder of Jiangsi River Street in Qianguomen Town, about 10 meters away from the street.

The great flood of the Jialing River in 81 years, in the Lingguanxia section of the Gansu section of Shaanxi (that is, the place where Du Pengcheng wrote about the night walk in Lingguanxia in 54 years), the railway more than ten meters high from the riverbed, the railroad tracks were washed away, and now you can pass by by train or car, and you can still see the old tunnel The railway was rebuilt there in the year, my father worked at the Yangdian Food Station in Liangdang County, and often sent pork to the railway construction site, and my mother sent raw bean sprouts to carry the burden, which may be about 20 miles back and forth. Kudos to them.

It was particularly dangerous, flooded many places, and caused a lot of damage.

In late August, although Chongqing did not receive much rainfall, the continuous rainfall in the Sichuan Basin led to the formation of the Yangtze River Flood No. 5 of 2020. This flood converged in Chongqing, and it passed through Chongqing, which is why Chongqing's river water overflowed the red water level mark of 81 years at a very fast speed, creating the highest water level in Chongqing in the past few years. <>

This flood directly caused the Jialing River and other hydrological stations in Chongqing to exceed the guaranteed water level; The flood also directly inundated many locations in Chongqing's urban area, such as Chongqing's Waterfront Park Square, Ciqikou Ancient Town, and the dock of Chaotianmen Square. Chongqing is a mountain city, and its uneven terrain is the hallmark of the city, and many of its low areas will be submerged when floods come. <>

Chongqing's bustling business districts were also affected by the flooding, which overflowed Binjiang Road, often flooding buildings on the first floor. The shops in the lower terrain of Hongya Cave were also completely submerged; Not to mention the ancient town of Ciqikou, located on the edge of the Jialing River, which quickly fell as early as not long after the flood; The road at the entrance to the ancient town was submerged, the shops facing the street were also submerged, and the people's property suffered huge losses. According to official statistics, 200,000 people in Chongqing were affected by the floods and more than 20,000 shops were submerged.

It is worth mentioning the optimism of the people of Chongqing, many people run to the vicinity of Binjiang Road to go to the river, it may be that the people of Chongqing grew up on the Yangtze River since childhood, and seem to have a special love for the river. Even though the flood brought disaster to Chongqing, fortunately there were no large numbers of people**. The official advance of the water level has caused people to move many important properties in advance, and losses are inevitable in the face of natural disasters, and the only way to reduce the number of personnel is the best result.

Homes can be rebuilt, and floods will eventually pass, but the relevant departments still have to make emergency preparations, after all, no one can ** when natural disasters will come.

Due to the continuous rainfall in the Sichuan Basin region, a flood was formed, and the flood passed through Chongqing, exceeding the red water level mark of 81 years. Some attractions in Chongqing were inundated; In addition, some shops in low-lying areas have also been submerged, affecting the lives of the people of Chongqing and seriously affecting economic development.

It's serious. Because the flood in Chongqing not only inundated most of the urban area, but also caused huge economic losses.
