From June to September 1954, the Yangtze River Floods were a series of catastrophic floodings that occurred mostly in Hubei Province. Due to unusually high volume of precipitation as well as an extraordinarily long rainy season in the middle stretch of the Yangtze River late in the spring of 1954, the river started to rise above its usual level in around late June. Despite efforts to open three important flood gates to alleviate the rising water by diverting it, the flood level continued to rise until it hit the historic high of 44.67 m (146.6 ft) in Jingzhou, Hubei and 29.73 m (97.5 ft) in Wuhan. The number of dead from this flood was estimated at around 33,000, including those who died of plague in the aftermath of the disaster.

  • Banjir Sungai Yangtze 1954 merupakan serangkaian bencana banjir dari bulan Juni hingga September 1954, yang sebagian besar melanda Provinsi Hubei. Karena volume curah hujan yang luar biasa tinggi ditambah dengan musim hujan yang panjang di tengah bentangan Sungai Yangtze pada akhir musim semi tahun 1954, mengakibatkan air sungai naik di atas level biasanya sekitar akhir Juni. Meskipun sudah membuka tiga pintu air untuk mengurangi kenaikan air dengan cara mengalihkannya, namun banjir terus meningkat hingga mencapai titik tertinggi yang bersejarah 4.467 m (14.656 ft) di Jingzhou, Hubei dan 2.973 m (9.754 ft) di Wuhan. Jumlah korban tewas akibat banjir ini diperkirakan sekitar 33.000 orang, termasuk mereka yang meninggal akibat wabah penyakit pascabencana. (in)
  • 1954年长江洪水指1954年6月至9月之间的江淮水災,是中华人民共和国历史上最严重的洪灾之一。长江中下游、淮河流域,湘、鄂、赣、皖、苏5省有123个县市受灾,农田受淹4755万亩,受災人口1888万人,死亡3.3万人,京广铁路近100天不能通车。此次水灾水量、水位均大于1931年江淮水災,是“近百年来罕有的特大洪水”,尤以湖北省受洪水的影响严重。 (zh)
