China News Service, Chengdu, August 16 (Reporter He Xi). Currently, Sichuan has entered the critical 'seven-down-eight-up' flood prevention period. The flood season is characterized by both drought and flooding, sharp transitions, and frequent short-term heavy rainfall and extreme local weather, leaving Sichuan Province with a grim flood prevention and disaster reduction situation. Recently, reporters visited flood prevention front lines in Dazhou, Guangyuan, and other areas in northeastern Sichuan to conduct on-site research on regional flood prevention and disaster reduction, major water conservancy project construction, and the implementation of smart flood prevention, aiming to provide a panoramic view of Sichuan's pragmatic measures to coordinate safety and development and comprehensively build a basin water safety barrier.

Translation note: ‘七下八上’ (seven-down-eight-up) is a common Chinese term for the most critical period of flood season, occurring from late July to early August.
