China is expected to experience heavy flooding in some of its major river basins during flood season as this year s climate conditions are worse than normal, the China Meteorological Administration said.
Heavy floods may occur along the Pearl, Yellow, Haihe and Songhua rivers because there will be more rain than in previous years, the administration said.
At a recent work meeting, the Ministry of Water Resources Pearl River Water Resources Commission forecast that heavy rainfall may cause severe floods in two of the river s main tributaries-the Xijiang and Beijiang-during the main flood season from June to August.
