Just 10 Minutes Ago - How China Repaired 200 meters Dam Breach (WORTH A WATCH) Dongting Lake

Wait a minute, why are these Chinese trying to cross this river without building a bridge, or are they throwing trucks full of earth fill into what seems like a flowing river? But why are they doing this? Well, hold on; we'll cover this aspect later in this video, so make sure to watch till the end.

Hello everyone, we’re back with another awesome episode covering the latest story from China. On July 5, 2024, around 4 pm, local authorities of Dongting Lake in northeastern Hunan Province, China, discovered a serious piping and erosion-related incident at the dike. Dongting Lake, the second-largest freshwater lake in China, has a depth of around 100 feet at its center. So, it’s a MASSIVE LAKE. Although it’s regulated with a dam across the Taiping Stream entrance, things can get out of control during floods. That's what happened on that sad day.

The authorities immediately commenced their rescue efforts to seal the leak. However, the leak escalated into a breach, significantly tearing the structure. Recognizing the imminent danger, officials commenced a large-scale response. Reinforcement efforts began on an embankment located approximately 2 kilometers behind the breached dike, serving as the second line of defense.

As of 2 p.m. Sunday, a total of 4,739 professional rescue personnel, 469 vehicles, 318 pieces of equipment, 144 large equipment sets, and 170 boats had been deployed to the breach site. The priority became safeguarding lives. Nearly 7,000 residents living near the breach were evacuated to ensure their safety. Time was of the essence as the surging water threatened to inundate entire neighborhoods.

Before the breach, Hunan Province experienced 17 consecutive days of heavy rainfall, the longest period of regional heavy rain since 1961. The intense rainfall led to high water levels in Dongting Lake, the highest in the past four years. The next crucial step involved sealing the breach. The challenge was immense. Emergency crews utilized a rapid response strategy, deploying a significant number of dump trucks loaded with rock and earth fill.

A strategy was devised to stabilize the edges of the breach to prevent further expansion. The plan included widening the unloading platform to ensure smooth material delivery and implementing measures such as alternating shifts and continuous machine operation to maintain high-intensity sealing efforts. The response to the Dongting Lake dike breach showcased a remarkable display of collaboration. Emergency services, engineers, and construction crews worked tirelessly day and night. Their coordinated efforts, along with the rapid deployment of rock fill, ultimately proved successful.
