China's Taihu Lake water levels rise beyond warning level due to heavy rainfall during main flood season.

China's Taihu Lake, the country's third-largest freshwater lake, is preparing for its "No. 2 Flood" this year as water levels have risen to 3.9 meters, surpassing the warning level by 0.1 meters due to heavy rainfall during the main flood season. Authorities are calling for increased efforts to drain water and strengthened inspection and defense of embankments in over-alarm-level river sections.
