China: Nujiang River Rages in Yunnan, Torrents Sweep Through Area

This is the dangerous moment that the Nujiang River turned into a raging torrent, triggering a powerful flash flood after days of relentless rainfall. On May 31, 2025, in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, the video showed the Nujiang River surging with muddy, turbulent water. Fueled by continuous heavy rain and intensified by orographic lift, the river’s water level rose sharply, unleashing a devastating mountain flood. Water tore through the region with alarming force, visibly inundating the riverbanks and sweeping away debris in its path. According to preliminary data, rainfall across the Nujiang River basin exceeded historical averages by more than four times. Along the Dulong River in particular, rainfall over a three-day span surpassed 300 millimeters, with some areas experiencing over 100 millimeters of downpour in just a short period. The severe flooding damaged roads, farmland, and communication infrastructure, effectively cutting off transportation to several villages. The video ended with torrents of floodwater continuing to rush downstream, leaving behind a landscape of destruction.

North Jiangsu Canal Water Level

HUAI'AN, CHINA - JUNE 20, 2024 - Aerial photo taken on June 20, 2024 shows a large number of ships waiting to be locked upstream of Huaian Lock on the North Jiangsu Canal. Since June, the water level of Huaian section of the Subei Canal has continued to fall under the influence of factors such as increased agricultural water use and drought. In order to ensure the normal operation of the navigation lock during the period of low water level, the northern Jiangsu Navigation Management Office launched an emergency plan, repeatedly consulted with the water conservancy department to ensure shipping water, increased water transfer and replenishment efforts, and fully guaranteed the shipping demand of the northern Jiangsu Canal. As of 16:00 on the same day, the downstream water level of Huaian Lock on the northern Canal of Jiangsu Province is 6.1 meters, which has met the navigation needs of most heavy-duty ships, and Huaian lock is speeding up the release of ships to relieve the pressure waiting for the lock.
