Guangzhou, China (March 15, 2025) – As the Chinese Ministry of Water Resources officially declared the start of the flood season on March 15th, the Pearl River Water Resources Commission (PRWRC) has immediately mobilized its flood control operations in response to heavy rainfall across the Pearl River Basin.
The PRWRC, under the Ministry of Water Resources, has announced that it is taking swift action to implement comprehensive preventative measures to mitigate potential flood risks. The declaration comes as many areas within the Pearl River Basin have experienced significant rainfall in recent days.
The Pearl River, known for its substantial annual runoff, is a vital waterway for South China, supporting agriculture, industry, and the livelihoods of millions. The early arrival of the flood season, coupled with the intensity of the recent rainfall, has prompted the PRWRC to prioritize proactive flood control strategies.
While details of specific measures were not immediately available, the PRWRC emphasized its commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of residents in the Pearl River Basin. The commission is expected to release further information regarding its flood control plans in the coming days.
Looking Ahead:
The Pearl River Basin’s vulnerability to flooding necessitates continuous monitoring, advanced forecasting, and robust infrastructure. As the flood season progresses, the effectiveness of the PRWRC’s measures will be crucial in protecting communities and minimizing potential economic disruption.
