Daizhihua said that two years ago found that hypoxic death of the fish, but nothing so serious this time of the year. In his view, the high watermark, and fish is not easy to hypoxia, but since the last few days, because more water for power generation in the reservoir area, compared to the level in previous years this period down three or four metres, sharp decline in the water level, caused the death of fish hypoxia. Experts say the water level drop of death of fish induced by hypoxia In charge of fisheries Deputy Mayor Zhou xiaocong believes that the drought this year, reservoir was less, combined with the impoundment of the sinanjiang hydropower station is the power, in the absence of water, or water power than less, declining water level in the reservoir area will be relatively fast. At present, the SI river water level in reservoir area of hydropower station in the South, compared to previous years the highest time period had declined by more than 20 meters. He said: "the water level drop too quickly, fish easier to hypoxia. ” Said Zhou xiaocong, SI South River hydropower station reservoir area more than fish cages to more than 2,600, at present, farmed fish were found dead downstream of the dam, upstream of the current most serious, as to the specific cause of fish mortality, "is also being investigated, more serious disasters, rural communities and come up with conclusions, had been reported in the County, asking them to come forward to solve. ” Fisheries technical extension station in Yunnan province through investigation that the expert group, resulting in fish cage culture of cause of death, tentatively identified as the water level is too low, the water level dropped too fast causing partial oxygen, current trends in disasters has continued to spread downstream.

According to the agreement, 860 m-900 m water level fluctuating between normal changes, but daily fluctuations should not be more than 5 meters, over to inform the mojiang County. The staff member said, power generation, flood discharge can lead to water level variations, current, water level in the reservoir area was 862.9 meters, only 2.9 meters from the dead 860 meters. Dead water levels mean, at this level, taking water from the reservoir area to generate electricity. But last year the water level went from dead only 2.9 meters of water level of the position, and the water level in the reservoir area in recent days, hydropower stations within the scope of the express.
