CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The upper level of the Three Gorge Hydro-junction reached 174.03 meters, less than one meter of the new experimental level at 2 a.m. on November 2nd, 2013.

According to news released by the principal of Gradient Scheduling and Communication Center at the Three Gorge Hydro-junction, the supervision on the rainfall of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River shows that the rainfall has covered most parts of the valley, which will replenish the water yield in its main stream and branches, and ensure impound volume. With current conditions, the impoundment to 175 meters can be finished by early to mid-November. (Translated by Li Li, Fathom Language Limited)
