长江荆江河段南岸高北岸低,洪水严重威胁着荆北地区的安全。防御洪水的荆江大堤一旦溃决,死人不是几千几万,而将是几十万,甚至更多。同时,荆北溃堤还将造成长江改道,使荆北恢复到历史上的云梦泽。即当地群众说的“荆北变洞庭”。那伯这是暂时的,但也是不堪设想的毁灭性灾害。更为严重的是将导致汉口甚至武汉三镇的淹没。 The south bank of the Jingjiang reach of the Yangtze River is low on the north bank. Floods are a serious threat to the safety of the Jingbei region. Once the flood of the Jingjiang levee once ruined, the dead are not tens of thousands, but will be hundreds of thousands or even more. At the same time, the embankment of Jingbei will cause a diversion of the Yangtze River and restore Jingbei to its historic Yunmengze. That is, the local people said “Jingdong become Dongting.” That Napo is temporary, but also unimaginable devastating disaster. More serious is that it will lead to the inundation of Hankow and even the three townships in Wuhan.
