A dyke is being dug to
channel water flooding into Bijiaxiang, Northwest China¡¯s Shaanxi Province, back
into the Weihe River, September 11, 2003. About 4,000 cubic meters of
water is expected to flow through the 200-meter-gap per second; 5-10 days will
be needed to discharge of the water. Weihe River is a tributary of the Yellow River
where recent heavy rains have forced water levels to
soar.[newsphoto.com.cn]
