Jinan, July 21 A heavy rain on July 19 complemented water supply of spring groups in Jinan. As of 8:30 Tuesday, the water level of Baotu Spring has risen from 27.67m to 27.78m, nearly increasing by 11cm, which is expected to rise continuously.


Reporters see water gushes vigorously in Pipa Spring, even flow on bluestone road around the spring. A few days ago, there was no water flow near Manao Spring. But now water flow out just like a small waterfall.


Though the water level of Baotu Spring has slightly risen, it is still lower than the orange warning line of 27.8m. Insiders say Jinan has entered flood period, and the spring flowing has passed the most dangerous period.
