"Fuck," Tao Dehua stuck his butt out and looked at the hydrological monitoring on the computer screen.
Hydrological monitoring not only monitors the depth of water, but also includes changes in water changes, quality and other aspects. The hydrological monitoring of the Babanxia Hydropower Station not only monitors the water conditions at the hydropower station, but also monitors the water conditions upstream every hundred kilometers or so.
There are several monitoring points with a total length of about 500 kilometers.
In the computer monitor in front of Tao Dehua, the hydrological monitoring is continuing to rise. I don’t know when it has just passed the critical point and is approaching the warning water level. This situation only occurs during the flood season in May. It has been a month now.
Didn't show up.
The water quality also changed, becoming abnormally turbid and showing a lot of debris.
"The weather forecast didn't say there will be heavy rain recently?" Tao Dehua turned his head and looked at the night sky outside the office with a confused look on his face. The stars were blinking mischievously at him.
"Bang Dang" The door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in her fifties asked anxiously: "Xiao Tao, what's going on in the hydrological monitoring?"
Tao Dehua still didn't come out of the trap. He pointed at the computer and said confusedly: "It seems like it's going to explode?"
The woman turned to look at the screen and said anxiously: "Oh no, no, no, I don't know what's going on. Both the flood outlet and the water outlet of the power station are blocked. The water channel is blocked and the water is very slow."
Tao Dehua asked in surprise: "Why is there a blockage? I'm surprised. There has been no heavy rain reported recently. How come the water level keeps rising all of a sudden?"
"Oh, you are so weird, call the station manager quickly. If the water level rises again, it will overflow the dam, and something big will happen," the middle-aged woman said, jumping to her feet.
Tao Dehua quickly picked up the phone to report. Not long after, the stationmaster of the Babanxia Hydropower Station and several other major leaders all crawled out of bed and quickly arrived at their posts.
The stationmaster frowned and asked very puzzledly: "What's going on? Why did the flood outlet and the water outlet suddenly become clogged? Could it be that they are all blocked?"
"Stationmaster, it's not all blocked, but there may be only one or two holes left, so I'm reporting to you right now." Pointing to Tao Dehua, the stationmaster asked, "What's the current status of the water level?"
"The water level here at the hydropower station has begun to reach the warning level. The water level continues to rise two hundred kilometers away. The rise is gentle at three hundred kilometers away. There is no abnormality at the monitoring points five hundred kilometers away," Tao Dehua said.
"What happened, what happened..." The webmaster anxiously walked back and forth in the office, a little undecided, and the cigarette he was holding in his hand was broken.
"Stationmaster, we have to order the water to be released. If it's too late, the dam will overflow," someone reminded.
The station manager pursed his lips and said with a slightly pale face: "Hurry up and contact the managers of the water stations in the middle and lower reaches and tell them that the Bapanxia Hydropower Station is overflowing. I will report it to the leaders."
Hydropower stations cannot just open the gates and release water casually. This involves a very tedious process, and big problems can easily occur if you are not careful.
Except when there are floods or droughts, the water flow speed and water level of large rivers such as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River have a standard, and the standards are very strict. It does not allow the water level to be too low, nor is it allowed to approach the warning level.
It has always maintained a stable direction.
Of course, natural causes are excluded.
For example, according to the current situation, the Bapanxia Hydropower Station is upstream. If the water level suddenly rises and water needs to be released, the river in the middle reaches will quickly fill up with water. If there are ships operating or other projects,
A sudden rise in water level would be a disaster. For example, if the downstream is cut off, and the middle and upstream are released simultaneously, if there are people in the cutoff river at this time, they may suddenly be washed away by the flood.
This is just the simplest situation. There are countless projects on the entire Yellow River, such as hydropower stations, sluices, flood control measures, etc. If you suddenly release water, God knows what impact it will have. No one can predict it.
Therefore, there is an emergency situation in Bapan Gorge now, but we absolutely dare not release water without authorization. We must at least contact all water stations and some engineering facilities from the upper reaches to the middle reaches and obtain their permission.
Human life is at stake, property damage is at stake, no one dares to take it lightly!
For a time, the Bapanling Hydropower Station was filled with the roar of wind, cranes, and vegetation.
"Let's release the water." About ten minutes later, the hydrological monitoring on the computer had exceeded the warning water level. The stationmaster let out a long sigh and uttered three words.
The gate was opened to release water, and the flood outlet and the water outlet were opened at the same time. But there was no surprise. What was surprising was that the water level was still maintained at a high level. Looking out from the office window, the water flow from the water outlet was like that of a child.
It feels like peeing, very small and even.
"What is the cause of the blockage? Have they been found out?" the stationmaster asked with a livid face.
"There's a lot of silt and a lot of debris..." Tao Dehua said with some uncertainty: "Many of these debris are the carcasses of livestock, many, many, but what I can't figure out is...
There is a very obvious blockage in the middle of the sluice gate. It is very large. Because the water is too muddy and there is a lot of mud and debris piled there, it is difficult to see clearly what it is. It does look a bit like
·······”
"Stop hesitating and say it," the stationmaster said with a frown.
"The size is a bit like a ship, it must be over 100 meters tall," Tao Dehua said.
"Are you kidding? Even a sunken ship cannot be blown away."
Tao Dehua whispered: "I just said it looks like a ship. Who knows what it is?"
The webmaster asked: "Can't figure it out?"
“The water is too muddy and the water level is too high”
"Open all the gates and try to release the flood water. If the delay continues, the dam will be overflowed. We all are waiting to take the blame and resign," the stationmaster said helplessly.
The entire Babanxia Hydropower Station immediately entered a state of full alert. An hour later, engineers and water conservancy experts arrived. At dawn, two more gates were finally opened, and the water level began to slowly drop. This temporarily saved the hydropower station from collapse.
It was washed away by the flood, but the blockage zone in the middle of the dam that Tao Dehua mentioned before still exists, and there is no way to solve it.
After dawn, the water level dropped, and the most dangerous situation was over. Then two boats drove to the center of the river to salvage the accumulated debris in the water, and several divers sank underwater to investigate the specific situation.
About half an hour passed after the divers entered the water, and the situation was temporarily cleared.
"A huge boulder lay across the outlet of the dam. An iron chain was caught on the boulder and wrapped around the gate."
The webmaster, Tao Dehua and everyone else were all stunned in disbelief: "How could such a large stone be rushed over..."
