Beichuan earthquake site was flooded.

During the continuous rainstorm, all the earthquake sites in the old county of Beichuan were immersed in the flood, and the deepest water in the old town of the old county was more than 7 meters. The ruins of Beichuan Hotel, the graves of the victims and other important protected areas were all flooded. Some scholars and netizens believe that the protection of earthquake sites has "smashed hundreds of millions of yuan in Shui Piao" and "wasted people and money".

In this regard, the relevant government departments said that the investment in the earthquake site in the old county was less than 654.38 billion yuan, and the flood in the old county was mainly caused by the elevation of the river bed.

Repeated flooding of the disaster site is the "sequela" of the earthquake.

The reporter learned that the Beichuan earthquake site has been hit by floods and mudslides many times since the completion of 20 1 1. 20 1 1 During the flood season, Beichuan Hotel site was flooded three times.

So why are the ruins of the old county repeatedly flooded during the flood season? Jing, director of the propaganda department of Tangjiashan dammed lake management and Beichuan old county protection headquarters in Mianyang City, said that it was caused by many factors such as the "sequela" of the earthquake, among which the riverbed was raised. First, the old Beichuan county is located in the valley between two mountains and one ditch, with low terrain. Secondly, after the Wenchuan earthquake, most of the hills around the old county are fractured limestone, which is easy to form landslides and collapses and become the source of mudslides. Thirdly, after the Wenchuan earthquake, the riverbed in the ruins area has risen by 10 to 15 meters compared with that before the earthquake.
