Farmers in a flood diversion area in the lower reaches of the Hanjiang River in central China's Hubei Province, a major tributary of the Yangtze River, move their grain to higher and dry land to prepare for flood diversion October 5, 2005. With continuing heavy rainfalls, water level of the Danjiangkou reservoir keeps rising, forcing the reservoir to discharge at 14,000 cubic meters per second. In order to ensure the safety of Wuhan and other cities along the Hanjiang and Yangtze rivers, flood diversion is planned and villagers in the diversion areas in Dujiatai and Caidian have to move to higher lands.
