PlusEmptying China's 'Quake Lakes'Emptying China's 'Quake Lakes'The Associated PressWater is slowly draining out of a swollen lake in central China, thanks to a manmade spillway. The lake was created when last month's earthquake triggered a landslide that blocked a river. (June 6)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:Dateline: Mianyang, China]The largest of about 30 of China's quake lakes has begun draining.They were formed after last month's seven-point-nine magnitude earthquake.And the lakes could be a major threat to cities, towns and the refugees living below them.In fact ... The threat of flooding has forced authorities here to evacuate more than 250-thousand people. That's why the asian nation went to some extreme measures to drain the quake lakes. [Notes:NATS of explosion] Workers deepened a diversion channel on Friday ... and water began draining off early Saturday.But state media say that even though water was flowing into the specially built diversion channel....Engineers were still uncertain about controlling the discharge of water.And officials are worried that those made homeless by the earthquake will take refuge in the unstable structures. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)
