Dawn broke and the rain finally stopped.
After Secretary Wang got up, the first thing he did was not to wash his face or brush his teeth, but to lead two local experts newly assigned to the "First Team" straight to the nearby Diao Xiankou Gate, seeking Party cadres stationed at the gate to understand the situation.
Whenever flood control is discussed, "dangerous sluices" are always mentioned, showing how perilous the gate becomes when floods arise.
The Linghai Reserve Camp is stationed here; if the sluice gate at Diao Xiankou were to collapse under their nose, allowing floodwaters to surge into the dam and flow into the Dongting Lake basin along the Huarong River, it would result in human casualties and massive economic losses, and be a tremendous dereliction for the Linghai Reserve Camp!
It's noteworthy that although the gate is located in Shishou, it wasn't built by Shishou City, but by Ronghua County in Nanhu Province, and is managed by Ronghua County in Nanhu Province.
