Ice Run Reported at Lower Reaches of Yellow RiverThe river's estuary is likely to be frozen in the upcoming days. The density of the ice run at the Dongpinghu and Macha river section is as high as 90 percent with an ice layer ranging from two to eight cm covering the water. The largest iceberg is 100 sq. meters in size. The provincial government has organized thousands of people into emergency teams to prevent the possible danger of breaches along the embankments that may develop due to an increased flow of water with the coming of spring. To ensure a normal supply of water to the Tianjin Municipality, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters asked Xiaolangdi Reservoir to discharge water at a flow of 350 cubic meters per second.
