Floodgates opened at multiple dams in Anhui, in more severe situation

Floodgates were opened at multiple dams in east China's Anhui Province to discharge floodwater, after the province continued to see heavy rainfall, said local authorities on Monday. 

The water level in several rivers and lakes in Anhui have exceeded the warning level, including the Huaihe River's Wangjiaba Station and Zhongmiao Station at Chaohu Lake.

Hefei, the provincial capital, has upgraded its emergency response for flood control from second to the highest level on Friday, said local authorities.
