On the 4th, it was learned from the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Development Center in Sichuan Province that in response to the red alert for heavy rain in the main urban area of Chengdu on July 3, the World Heritage site Dujiangyan, with a history of 2281 years, once again used its natural flood diversion capacity to control 66 million cubic meters of floodwater, acting as a "pressure relief valve" for the overloaded urban waterways, demonstrating once again the wisdom of water management of "dividing into four- six, and smoothing out the flood and drought".
