As the Yangtze River enters a dry water period, the water level in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River drops rapidly. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the Yangtze River and the stability of the logistics supply chain along the river during the dry water period, the Yangtze River Waterway Administration maintained and dredged key waterways. Since early October, the real-time water level in the Yichang section of the Yangtze River has fallen below its lowest level in the same period in nearly 10 years. The low water level has had a great impact on the smooth flow and safety of the waterway. In order to ensure the smooth shipping safety of the Yangtze River and the stability of the logistics supply chain along the river, the Yangtze River Waterway Administration strengthened the analysis and judgment of water conditions and arranged for four dredging construction vessels to enter three key waterways in the Yichang section of the Yangtze River for maintenance and dredging. Up to now, the total construction time has been 1,502 hours, and nearly 186,000 square meters of earthwork have been dredged. At the same time, the waterway department has stepped up on-site inspection efforts, arranged for several first-line production teams to continuously sail and adjust the beacons, making every effort to ensure the safety of cruise navigation during the dry water period of the Yangtze River.
