At 11 am Thursday, the water flow in the monitoring station 90 kilometers upstream from the barrier lake was 1,320 cubic meters per second. Water flow in the station 70 kilometers downstream from the lake, however, dropped from 1,900 cubic m/s at 8 pm on Wednesday to only 200 cubic m/s, said the authority.
Changjiang Water Resources Commission said it has asked monitoring stations to report data every 10 minutes.
The scale of the landslide is vast and several bridges, fields and villages were affected. Bolo township, where the landslide occurred, has been isolated after a bridge to the township was inundated, Qamdo authorities said.
