Chapter 233 Flood and Waterlogging Prevention(1/2)
The center of the typhoon is still some distance away from Linghai, but the typhoon has already brought strong winds and rain to Linghai. It can be said that the four confluences of "wind, storm, tide and flood" have caused the water level of the Yangtze River to continue to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There are water level gauges installed on the anti-collision piles on both sides of the barge. Although they are not as accurate as those of the water conservancy department, they can be used as a reference.
The command and dispatch room was requisitioned by the city's Typhoon and Flood Prevention Headquarters. Han Yu's external communication now can only rely on the VHF radio on 001. In addition, more and more cadres from various units came to the barge to accept tasks despite the rain.
Han Yu simply moved to 001 and was on standby.
With the help of 001's searchlight, we can clearly see that the highest tide level in Bailonggang waters has reached 5.2 meters, and the warning water level is 5.6 meters.
The latest weather forecast warns that there will be strong wind and rain from tonight to the day after tomorrow, with showers or thunderstorms, heavy to heavy rains, and local heavy rains. The rainfall will reach 100 to 250 mm in the process, and the maximum gusts will be 9 to 11 on land and along the river, and in sea areas
Levels 11 to 13.
The rain is pouring outside, and several water conservancy gates along the river are continuously draining water into the river. This means that within a few hours, the entire northern branch of the Yangtze River will exceed the warning water level!
This means that Linghai must be prevented from flooding inside and outside from floods. No wonder cadres from various units came to report one after another. Even the officers from the Communications Unit of the Public Security Bureau came with radios and more than a dozen walkie-talkies.
Han Yu didn't know what the city leaders were busy with in the command and dispatch room. He fell asleep and couldn't sleep, so he picked up the walkie-talkie again and called the Bailong Port Ship Lock.
"General tone, general tone, I, Han Yu, how high has the water level in the inland river risen?"
"It has been raining for several hours. The fields are draining into ditches, the ditches are draining into small rivers, and the small rivers are draining into big rivers. Several large gates along the river and at the seaside cannot drain the water at all. The water level has risen very fast. Bailong Port has already risen.
to 2.35 meters, and the Linghai section of Binqi River rose to 3.43 meters."
The warning water level of Bailong River is 2.6 meters and the warning water level of Binqi River is 4.0 meters.
The inland water network is different from the North Branch of the Yangtze River. The drainage to the Yangtze River and the sea is very slow, but the drainage to the inland river from the shore is very fast. It is conceivable that the warning water level will be exceeded before the Yangtze River.
Han Yu realized how serious the flood situation was and didn't know what to say. Political Commissar Ding walked through the "old antique" and climbed up to 001.
He didn't hold an umbrella or wear a raincoat, so he just ran here in the rain.
Han Yu quickly opened the hatch and asked eagerly: "Political Commissar, what's wrong?"
"I just received a notification from my superiors that the water levels of the Yangtze River and inland rivers will surge tonight. A comprehensive inspection in the afternoon found many problems. Mayor Dai asked 001 to immediately enter the inland rivers to assist the Transportation Bureau, Water Conservancy Bureau and towns along the river in clearing obstacles to flood flow.
Dam ridges, cages, miscellaneous ships and various illegal structures."
"001 drives into the inland river. What should we do if there is danger on the river?"
"Things have their own priorities. First execute the order to prevent your fingers."
Political Commissar Ding looked back at the cadres from various units who were boarding the boat, and took out a list from his pocket: "There are six dam heads and ridges in Songji River, Niankuang River and other dams; Bailong River, Huangjiagang, Sanyu Shu River
When there are fourteen miscellaneous boats in the river, there will be more cages in the river."
Han Yu took the task list, frowned and asked: "The dam head and dam bank can be dug, where can the miscellaneous boats be towed?"
"You are just assisting. Where to drag it without affecting flood control, please ask the officials of the Transportation Bureau."
"There are fish raised in the cages. If the cages are cleaned, the fish will run away. Aquaculture farmers will definitely not want to do so."
"At this time, it is best for those aquaculture farmers to consider the overall situation. If they do not consider the overall situation, they will assist the transportation, water conservancy and agricultural departments to force the removal."
"yes!"
001 is not 002, there are not that many seats for people to sit.
The few cadres who had just boarded the ship saw that the command cabin door was closed and did not want to be exposed to the rain outside, so they all squeezed into the engine room.
Political Commissar Ding opened the door and took a look, and then explained: "The river embankment needs to be strengthened or even raised. The city defense department is urgently raising woven bags, stones, geotextiles and wood. The total amount is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of tons.
Cadres and masses on the embankment are waiting for flood control supplies.
The shipping company has barges but no tugs. During a typhoon, it is too dangerous to transport flood control supplies into the Yangtze River. Once those supplies are loaded onto the barges, you have to go to several docks in Linghai to help pull the barges over."
They not only need to enter the inland river to help clear obstacles in the river to ensure flood discharge, but also help transport flood control materials...
Han Yu did not dare to waste a moment, so he quickly contacted the ship lock dispatcher to ask someone to arrange passage through the lock, and then climbed up to the second-floor cab and sounded the whistle to set sail.
It rained continuously for several hours, and the roads on the bank, especially the field paths leading to remote rivers, were muddy. Many cadres and masses who were temporarily summoned to excavate the dam head and dam ridge were unable to pass. They all followed the Bailong River at the request of the police.
Boat.
The bow, stern, side of the ship, and even the sides of the second-floor pilothouse were all crowded with people.
Although most of them were wearing raincoats, the rain was so heavy that some of them were soaked in water.
In accordance with the requirements of the transportation bureau cadres who led the team, Han Yu sent the people involved in flood control to designated locations one by one, and then assisted the cadres in cleaning the cages in the rivers, the barriers at the gates or river mouths, and towing away debris that had been floating in the flood channels for a long time.
Boat……
Before the work was finished here, another call was made to haul flood control supplies.
I was busy from 8 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. the next day. I was exhausted until I transported the last six ships of stones to the riverside and waited for the Water Conservancy Bureau and township cadres to organize the masses to board the ships and transport more than 600 tons of flood control materials ashore.
Return to ground.
As a result, we sailed to Bailong Port and were about to berth the "Old Antique". We learned that 001 had completed the tasks assigned by the Linghai Typhoon and Flood Control Headquarters and the Port Supervision and Traffic Control Center asked on the traffic control channel if we could rescue a car that was blown away by a typhoon at night.
Cargo ship at anchor.
There were four crew members on board, the engine room was flooded again, and the ship was out of control.
Human life is at stake!
Han Yu could only cheer up and adjust his course to rescue.
When the out-of-control cargo ship was found, it was about to sink due to severe flooding.
It is not only difficult but also dangerous to drag it to the shallows. After all, 001 only has 200 horsepower, and an accident may cause 001 to be dragged into the bottom of the river.
But the cargo ship is in the main channel. If we only save people and let the ship sink, it will affect navigation safety.
Han Yu immediately dismantled the fire pump and used 001 fire-fighting equipment to help drain the cargo ship. At the same time, he urgently requested the traffic control center to recruit nearby barges to help reduce the load.
The rescue continued until 8:17 in the evening, when the cargo ship that had almost turned into a "submarine" finally showed its freeboard...
Not only did it save four lives, it also saved a ship full of cargo.
The boat owner's family expressed their gratitude. When Han Yu woke up, there was another banner at the Yanjiang police station. Lao Zhang, who had just sent the boat owner's family away, was outside discussing with Jin Weiguo where to hang it.
Han Yu got up and walked out of the dormitory, yawning loudly and asking: "Zhang Suo, there is no place to hang up?"
"We are short of money, we are short of people, we are short of everything, but we are not short of banners. The command and control room, conference room and two duty rooms are all full, and even the 001 command cabin is hung up on all four sides. There is really no place to hang them."
"Hang up in your dormitory."
"My dormitory has been hung up on three sides. If it is too many, it doesn't look like a dormitory. I can't sleep at night."
Yanjiang Police Station has been stationed on the Yangtze River in the past few years and has participated in countless rescue operations. In addition to the banners it received during the crackdown on ticket reselling six years ago, the number of banners now adds up to no less than a hundred.
Han Yu looked at the water level scale on the anti-collision pile, then looked up at the sky where it was still raining heavily, and said with a smile: "If you can't hang it, give some to the bureau. We don't care about it, the bureau does."
"They were all given to us. It doesn't matter if we transfer them to the bureau. Moreover, the banner has a title and a signature on it."
The young man worked hard and achieved great results. Lao Zhang didn't want to talk about the banner anymore, so he pulled him into the duty room and asked with a smile: "Are you hungry?"
"Kind of."
"Lao Qian left some rice for you, heat it in the rice cooker."
"Where's Captain Wang?"
"Captain Wang was a little dizzy, so I asked Xiaoyu to accompany him to the health center."
"Dizziness?"
"He had high blood pressure."
Han Yu thought about it and asked: "Where's Uncle Zhu?"
Before Lao Zhang could speak, Jin Weiguo smiled bitterly and said: "The terrain of his house is low, and their area was flooded. He went back early this morning."
There are floods every year, and low-lying areas are flooded.
Han Yuzheng didn't know what to say. Lao Zhang raised his arm and looked at his watch: "If you're not particularly hungry, then you can eat later. Huang Jiangsheng is back. He and Zhang Erxiao know that you are back too. They came here in the morning."
He came once again at noon and asked you and Xiaoyu to go to their place for dinner."
"What's the meal for? Are they in trouble?"
"You are old friends. You can't have dinner if you have nothing to do. Besides, Huang Jiangsheng is just like you now. He rarely comes back once in a while. Since we are all back, of course we have to get together."
"Okay." Han Yu hadn't seen Huang Jiangsheng for a long time and wanted to catch up with Huang Jiangsheng.
Lao Zhang smiled and continued: "The case of the theft of transformers has come to light. Suo Ding called me this morning and said that not only five transformers were stolen from us, but six were also stolen from Changzhou and the Development Zone. He and Fang Zhiqiang
Through the locations of several drainage outlets, we roughly figured out the trajectory of those bastards' crimes.
Then the troops were divided into three groups. They checked the waste material collection point and the power transformer manufacturing enterprise. They visited and questioned several people near the drainage gate. They followed the path of the gang of bastards and visited the people along the river, especially those who were watching the fishing nets at the gate.
.”
This is a big deal!
Han Yu subconsciously asked: "Is there anything gained?"
"Yes. First of all, the time when several transformers were stolen was roughly determined. It should be in mid-June this year. Because there was waterlogging during the spring flood, the transformers were all there. And there was an old man who was looking at the fishing nets and saw two old ones.
The transformer ship passed through the lock, and he helped put the net in the way."
"Does the old man who was looking at the fishing net remember how many people were on the boat and what they looked like?"
