What will happen if Heyuan Reservoir collapses?

Flood disaster, casualties and water shortage.

1. After the dam breaks, a large amount of water in the reservoir area will be released instantly, forming a huge flood, which may scour the downstream along the river and cause serious flood disasters.

2. If there are people in the reservoir area when the reservoir collapses, there will be great life danger. In addition, flood disasters may cause more casualties and property losses.

3. If all the water bodies in the reservoir area are lost after the dam breaks, it may lead to the shortage of water resources in the surrounding areas and affect the life of local residents and agricultural production.
