Beijing, June 1, 2025 – The Haihe River Basin officially entered its flood season at 8:00 AM today, June 1st, according to an announcement on the “Haihe Water Conservancy” WeChat official account. This marks a critical period for flood control and disaster preparedness in the region.
The Haihe River Basin, a vital area encompassing Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and parts of Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Inner Mongolia, is susceptible to flooding during the rainy season. The Haihe Water Conservancy Commission (Haihe Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters Office) has initiated a 24-hour flood prevention duty system effective immediately.
The Commission will collaborate closely with local flood control and drought relief headquarters, water resources departments (bureaus), and affiliated units across the basin. This coordinated effort aims to ensure a swift transition into flood season readiness, with continuous monitoring of weather patterns and close surveillance of rainfall and water levels.
The announcement underscores the importance of proactive measures to mitigate potential flood risks and safeguard communities and infrastructure within the Haihe River Basin. Authorities are urging residents to stay informed about weather forecasts and heed any warnings issued by local officials.
The Haihe River Basin’s entry into flood season serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges posed by climate change and the need for robust flood management strategies to protect vulnerable populations and ensure sustainable development in the region.
