A new wave of flooding emerged upstream in Yangtze River, China, on Saturday, and is now moving downstream — fast. It’s been raining for almost 50 days straight, often in deluges. There was three solid weeks of rain from Tibet now incoming.
Both Yellow and Yangtze rivers are experiencing extraordinary floods. So far, 44 million people have had to evacuate.
Massive floods are impacting cities. Rain forecast is brutal.
Some regions will see nearly 3 inches (70 mm) of precipitation per hour, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, a local weather center announced. The center advised local authorities to remain alert for possible flooding, landslides and mudslides.

The water levels of 433 rivers in China have risen over the danger mark since early June, with 33 of them rising to historic highs.
Data on water levels behind the dam is kept under strict control but is believed to be normal at 145 meters with an 180-meter capacity. Instead of using Three Gorges Dam for flood control, the water must be released. Dam operators must always prioritize the integrity of the dam and prevent topping.
The water behind the dam has risen dramatically in the last several days. The dam is expected to receive a new round of incoming water on the 21st, can the dam really hold?
China over the weekend warned of new floods and has now opened five more floodgates. This release will reach Wuhan on July 22. Wuhan city is only protected by a large embankment along the river, and a video shows that water was seeping through, and if it collapses, Wuhan residents will be submerged in 3 to 4 stories of floodwater. In the first video at 3:15 you can see an example of a river dyke elsewhere crumbling away.
In addition to the 40 million people affected by the massive floods, potentially 400 million more would be impacted should Three Gorges Damn be breached. CCP messaged this week, calling it a “100-year dam in a 200-year flood.”
The overwhelming majority of Chinese (and therefore U.S.) pharmaceutical production is located on the Yangtze River just below the creaking dam.
Rumors of Chinese banks collapsing are all over social media in China. Worried customers have descended on several banks to withdraw their money. Police took people into custody, accusing them of spreading rumors. Half of China’s important agricultural provinces have been impacted by the biggest flooding in decades.
An expert says this is creating a dilemma for the poorly constructed Three Gorges Dam. It seems they have no choice but to allow downstream cities to flood- and just hope the rain subsides.
Note the warped appearance of the dam structure. The Three Gorge is a concrete gravity dam at elevation of 181 meters. The elevation of Wuhan is 37 meters.
Simulation of upstream and downstream effects: Upstream threats are land and mud slides. There are no flood control dams above 3GD. The overwhelming flooding upstream and the silt and debris that is flowing down the other tributaries to the Yangtze is problematic and discussed in the simulation.
As early as 1988, Professor Lu Qinkan, former deputy chief engineer at the Ministry of Water Resources and a flood control and sedimentation expert, who had refused to sign the feasibility report as a flood control expert, made his arguments crystal clear in a journal article.
Why is the flood control capacity of the Three Gorges Dam project being questioned again?
“There are three types of floods that have occurred since 1949 along the Yangtze River:
1) Big floods throughout the entire river, such as in 1954;
2) Floods that are serious only at the upper reaches, such as the floods in 1981; and
3) Floods that have occurred due to local storms only at the lower and middle reaches, such as the floods in 1991.
The Three Gorges Dam project can only control floods from the Chuanjiang River in the upper reaches, and cannot control the floods from many of the large tributaries in the lower and middle reaches such as the Xiang, Zishui, Yuanshui, Lishui, Han and Gan rivers. The second type of flood, represented by the 1981 flood, was very serious in the upper reaches. The peak discharge at Chongqing of 85,700 m3 per second diminished to 70,800 m3 per second by the time it reached Yichang further down river as a result of channel storage. The lower and middle reaches were not affected at all. Therefore, the Three Gorges project is hardly necessary for this type of flood. It is unnecessary to state the obvious, that the Three Gorges Dam project is useless for the third type of flood.”
Therefore, it is clear that the Three Gorges dam project cannot lower water levels in the city of Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, nor can it reduce the severity of the floods in its surrounding areas. For floods that occur in both Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, downstream of Wuhan, the Three Gorges Dam project would be totally useless. So the dam’s flood-control capacity is limited.
Original broadcast documentary 11 years ago: “Is the Three Gorges Dam a Ticking Time Bomb?”
Amazing how many late model cars there are in the flood videos. These people were prospering.
Once again, a major disaster (new weather tech display?) that ticks off several boxes on the old NWO ‘to do’ list. Pretty impressive way to cover ones tracks if there was legit virus info/evidence in Wuhan or Shanghai.
Thanks WW for keeping us informed. Maybe this is a ‘dry run’ to work out the bugs for an Ethiopian/Egypt water showdown soon, while simultaneously thumbing your nose at whomever. Just a guess. Either way, catastrophies are good for business. Cui bobo ?
I’ve been keeping an eye on the China floods, never realizing the severity of the situation. One can only wonder if weather modification carried out by a hostile power(US,NATO)has anything to do with this.
It also makes you wonder if the same people who carried out the Covid19 hoax are behind this. Are the “powers that shouldn’t be” finally confident they can bring the population down to the 500,000,000 level they call for on the Georgia Guidestones?
With the shuttering of meat plants and crops rotting in the fields in the US, locust plagues in Africa, and the destruction of a large part of Chinese agriculture through flooding, will we see starvation on a global level? Only time will tell.
Something tells me that the 5 million people here in NZ might be excluded from the chaos. Our boarders are closed and we are essentially on an “Island Lockdown”.
I think population density is something to consider now…While Australia has half the population density as NZ , If you’ve ever been to the Northern Territory, you’d soon discover how ideal it serves as an open air prison colony…No where to run, brutal sun and heat, no shade, Cain toads, crocks, spiders, and drunken Aussies that know how to dispose of a body. About 3/4 of the inner crust is in the middle of nowhere and good bye

Incredible & frightening— I hadn’t heard any of this on the mainstream. Also incredible was that howling, roaring sound in your middle video [3 Gorges Dam] Simulation the government dismissed as a “quail”, but locals said was a dragon!
The description starts around 6:55 minutes, before the amazing sound afterward. To me, it sounds like a very large mammal howling & echoing through the mountains. It makes me wonder if there are any Australian recordings of “Yowies”, a cousin of Bigfoot and the legendary Anglo-Saxon “Wuduwasa” (Woodwose) “wood wailers”. What do you think?
My guess is they are testing another form of “voice to skull” technology.
Amazing stuff— thanks for that link.
I hadn’t heard a peep about this China flooding, though my husband unfortunately has the TV news (mostly FOX) on for hours each night. So much Corona virus, Corona virus, Corona virus and Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter that the newscasters can’t be bothered with other things going on around the world. What a bad joke they are. So thanks, Russ, for some real news.
Sorry off topic; but important! Get ready for involuntary detentions when you don’t ‘voluntarily’ isolate yourself. Happened to a Kentucky couple this weekend and as the contact tracing is now beginning to unfold and gain momentum, states are now preparing to deal with people who refuse by effecting ex parte detention orders from the courts.
Many of these governors have a contractual relationship with these companies making these tests and masks, so we know that these states are incentivized to force the matter regardless of ‘public health.’ We also know these tests are bogus and a positive or negative result means nothing as far as ones individual health.
Cui bobo ? Where’s spell Czech when you need it ?
The use of weather as a weapon was an integral part of US strategy during the Vietnam war. Whenever an impending NVA attack was detected, the Air Force made it rain like crazy to disrupt the approach march of the enemy. Since few paved roads were available to the NVA, and ammunition is enormously heavy and generally had to be transported by muscle power, Project Popeye, as the weather war was called, was very effective.
Is there a new Project Popeye playing out in central China? If so, the Chinese certainly put a target on their backs by not connecting the dam to the bedrock.
Doubt it’s the US doing the weather modification. The Chinese Satanic leaders are quite happy to be the initial testing ground for everything New World Order. It is illegal to use weather modification on another country…and an act of war. Not illegal to use on your own citizens…as most major countries have done.
The US has been quietly making war on China for the past several years. Why do you think every new virus appears in China, rather than truly filthy India and Africa? Why did the Chinese ram and nearly sink two US destroyers a couple years ago? It’s a war, but a new kind of war- one limited by nukes and public opinion.
