The flood waters, which have inundated an area of over 2,000 square miles, are flowing southward along the Tasha River into the Hwal River, and are now 'threatening to inundate Anhwei Province through the bursting of the banks of the Hwai. Experts believe that the Yellow River will be diverted from its course into the Gulf of Chihli as a result of the floods, and will instead flow into the Yangtse River somewhere in the vicinity of Nankirig, taking the course of the Hwai River through Anhwei Province.
