The water level in Taihu Lake is the lowest in the same period in 20 years. What is the reason for this phenomenon? What effect will it have?

The main reason for the lowest water level in Taihu Lake in the same period in 20 years is that the weather is too hot, which leads to the continuous sunny and hot weather and the slow decline of water level in Taihu Lake. However, the local authorities have taken corresponding measures before this, and it has not adversely affected people's lives, just like before.

It is very hot in summer, and cities in China are affected to varying degrees. In the continuous high temperature, the summer water level of Taihu Lake reached the lowest level in 20 years, but it did not have any impact on people's lives. In fact, this is inseparable from the measures of diverting water from the Yangtze River to Taiwan that have been quietly implemented for more than 20 days this year.

What happened?

Since the implementation of the measures of diverting water from the Yangtze River to Thailand, the water from the Yangtze River has been introduced from the Wangyuhe Changshu Water Control Project to make the water quality meet the requirements, and the water from Taihu Lake has been supplied to the surrounding areas of Taihu Lake, Jiahang Lake and the upper reaches of Huangpu River along the Wang Yu through the Wang Ting Water Control Project to ensure people's lives are not affected. At present, the water supply safety of water sources plays an active role.

What is my personal opinion?

I think according to the local weather forecast, the Taihu Lake basin will still be sunny, hot and rainy for some time to come. Taihu Bureau said that it will continue to do a good job in diverting water from the Yangtze River to Thailand to ensure the safety of water resources and water ecological water environment in the basin, and will also pay close attention to the occurrence and development of typhoons and the changes of water and rain conditions in the basin.

What should we pay attention to in hot summer?

As we all know, in the hot summer, people will feel very uncomfortable, so the heatstroke prevention and cooling work needs to be solved urgently, and we must be cautious about heavy rainfall. After the water level in Taihu Lake was lowered, no cyanobacteria blooms broke out, and the diffusion in the main stream such as Taipu River still sailed as usual. The above data show that it's not too late to mend, and we must pay attention to the water resources and water ecological water environment in Taihu Lake Basin.
