Authorities in Chongqing Municipality's Wuxi County evacuated more than
30,000 residents as of yesterday after a rockslide hit an under-construction
reservoir. More than 100,000 cubic meters of rocks and mud caved in at the
Zhongliang Reservoir on Tuesday night, blocking the Xixi River, the local
government said. Water was about 2 meters below the top of the dam early
yesterday.
