North Jiangsu Canal Water Level

HUAI'AN, CHINA, on June 20, 2024, an aerial photo is showing a large number of ships waiting to be locked upstream of Huaian Lock on the North Jiangsu Canal. Since June, the water level of the Huaian section of the Subei Canal is continuing to fall under the influence of factors such as increased agricultural water use and drought. In order to ensure the normal operation of the navigation lock during the period of low water level, the northern Jiangsu Navigation Management Office is launching an emergency plan, repeatedly consulting with the water conservancy department to ensure shipping water, increasing water transfer and replenishment efforts, and fully guaranteeing the shipping demand of the northern Jiangsu Canal. As of 16:00 on the same day, the downstream water level of Huaian Lock on the northern Canal of Jiangsu Province is 6.1 meters, which is meeting the navigation needs of most heavy-duty ships, and Huaian Lock is speeding up the release of ships to relieve the pressure waiting for the lock.
