Affected by the high temperature weather for many days, the water level in the Huangpu River in Shanghai has recently appeared in the same period of nearly 20 years. Its tributaries have a river section because of the low water level. Last week, nearly a hundred vessels were congested due to unable to pass. On the morning of August 29, Jimu Journalists discovered on the coast of Dalu River that the congested river section had been relieved.

According to the news of CCTV Finance on August 27, recently, due to the high temperature of many days, the water from the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake has roughly decreased by 30%. The water level connected to the Dianpu River has dropped more than 20 centimeters. Nearly a hundred sand shipping vessels outside the Diandong pump gate cannot be passed due to the low water level, and the vessels are blocked under the Dianpu River Bridge on Longyu Road.

At about 10 am on August 29, Jimu reporters saw on the Dianpu River near Xinjing Port that the congested river channel had been relieved before, and a sand ship was slowly advancing. However, the water level is still low, the beach coating is exposed in large area, and the bridge pier on the river almost all expose the water. Citizens walking by the river said that the congested boat was solved last weekend, and the water level of the river this year was much lower than in previous years.

Two canal ships were parked under the Dianpu River Bridge on Shuiqing Road. The crew said that they came from the Huangpu River and prepared to pass through the storage pump gate, because the water could only be paused. Because of the sea, the Huangpu River will rise at noon every day, the water level of the Dianpu River will also rise, and their boat can continue at noon. The crew also experienced the "blocking boat" a few days ago. Because the air conditioner at night would noisy to the coastal residents, they could not turn on the air conditioner and slept on the top of the cabin at night.

There are still large -scale beaches in Dianpu River

According to Shanghai media news, experts from the water department said that the main reason for the decline in water levels such as the dry flow of Huangpu River is the decrease in local high temperature and rain and upstream water. Around August 26, the water level of the Dianpu River was significantly reduced compared to the same period of the previous year. In addition, some of the peripheral channels were in a state of suspension due to maintenance. There were multiple freight ships on the Dalu River in Longxun Road Bridge. The risk of stranding risk, the relevant departments notified the ship to wait on the spot.

Relevant parties said that with the decline in Shanghai's temperature and the slowdown in the upstream drought, and the rising tide position brought by the tide flood, the pressure of the relevant ship gate will slow down.
