On August 19, CRT Line 2 was running normally. Across the river, the road along Jiangbeizui was also submerged.
For the dispatch of hydraulic engineering, Chongqing actively communicated and coordinated with the Ministry of Water Resources, Changjiang Water Resources Commission and Sichuan Province in the upstream to minimize flood control pressure by jointly dispatching the Three Gorges, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba and Tingzikou reservoirs. The familiar road was nowhere to be seen on Nanbin Road, pictured here on August 19.
Chongqing Water Resources Bureau has sent eight supervisory teams to supervise and guide in the forefront along the riverside districts and counties, respectively for Hechuan, Beibei, Tongliang, Tongnan, Shapingba, Jiangbei, Yuzhong and Nan’an, so as to help carry out the evacuation and transfer of flood-threatened people. Lifeboats were pictured patrolling in the Jialing River on August 19.
