Pingchuan Flood

The Pingchuan Flood refers to a significant inundation in the Pingchuan area, typically caused by heavy rains, rapid snowmelt, or dam failures. It results in large amounts of water overwhelming river systems and flood channels, leading to widespread flooding of homes, farms, and infrastructure. Such floods can threaten lives, displace residents, and cause economic damage. Managing these events involves early warning systems, improved drainage, and flood control infrastructure to reduce impact and protect communities from the devastating effects of water surges.
