Beijing, July 11 : China's Ministry of Water Resources on Monday activated a level-IV emergency response for flood risks in Shandong and Sichuan provinces.
From Tuesday to Friday, heavy rains will lash parts of Sichuan and Shandong, causing water levels of rivers to rise sharply, the ministry said.
Multiple rivers are expected to see water levels exceed their warning lines, according to the ministry.
China has a four-tier flood control emergency response system, with level I being the most severe response.
