The water level rose 19 meters, causing some houses to be flooded. Chongqing Pengshui launched full-scale rescue efforts.

Yesterday, widespread heavy rainfall occurred in many areas of Chongqing, and multiple townships in Pengshui County experienced mountain torrents. Local residents can be seen in photos taken in Gaoqiao Village, Taiyuan Town, Pengshui County with roads submerged by mountain torrents and multiple cars washed away by floods. In addition, due to the mountain torrents, there have been slope collapses and road closures in many areas of Pengshui, and local authorities have organized personnel for emergency relief efforts. CCTV reporter Mou Liang is currently in Ditang Township, Pengshui County, and he mentioned that this is one of the hardest hit areas by the heavy rainfall. Due to the rapid rise of river water, some houses have been flooded. From yesterday evening until now, the accumulated rainfall in this area has reached 304 millimeters. At the same time, a large amount of precipitation from the mountains has also gradually accumulated in the rivers, causing the rivers to gather and unable to discharge in time. As a result, the water level in the Ditung River basin has risen by 19 meters. Currently, the water level is decreasing very slowly.
