Hundreds and hundreds of years of flooding yet they still can't handle drainage. What the fuck is their problem?

>>540415741It's kinda like chine tradition. Records usally are like " minor flood in the yellow river delta in the year 1735 little damage 367000 dead or missing"
>>540415741Their yellow river is both a blessing and a curse. It is very, very silty, which is where it got its name from. That silt deposit raises the river bed, expanding the width of the river and allowing it easily overflow during periods of heavy rain. That same flood also make the surrounding soil extremely fertile.Even dams aren't foolproof. The silt deposit decreases the water storage volume over time by raising the reservoir bed. You need constant dredging to remove the silt.Their entire civilization evolved around that river. Prioritizing group effort of building levees and flood management features and planning for the future by storing crops. Failure to do so result in mass casualty and usually the end of the dynasty.
>>540415741>What the fuck is it with chinks and flooding?to start, it's typhoon season.more directly, they generate a significant amount of energy from dams and hydropower.to maximize their power generation it's necessary to keep these reservoirs as full as possible at all times. then all it takes is a tempporary spike and it requires the floodgates to be opened to full capacity or risk the dam bursting.in the case of the case of the recent liulan dam, we can see the water level go over the top of the dam, which then washes away the dirt holding back the water and the dam fails.1/4

>>540415741400 million chinese live between two very large, very flood propense rivers and affluenta. They have multiple dams on these rivers, yet it is not enough. It is very hard to protect a billion people from flooding. It is like americans with hurricanes. You don't blame americans for the hurricanes, do you? The flood will happen no matter what, just like the hurricanes, and all that matters is the reconstruction.
>>540415741Yeah you live next to the fucking Himalayan mountains and see how well you do.
>>540415741It's an annual event.

>>540418377I think a lot of Chinese left China for shitholes like Brazil because no floods, right?
The boom/bust of Himalayan monsoon flooding results in high fertility soil and people in these areasThe real problem is NOT ENOUGH people are dying from it
>>540418145in addition to this, china has lost or cut down significant areas of forrest.normally, this greenery acts to buffer rain from entering waterways so quickly, exacerbating the impact of flash floods.to make matters worse, without tree roots binding dirt the nutrients are more readily washed away making recovery that much more of a challenge.
