What is a burst bank?

Breaking a bank generally means that the bank is washed away by water.

Specific meaning:

Breaking a dike means that water overflows the top of the dike, gradually taking away the soil built by the dike, and then the dike body becomes thin and soft, which can't stop the upstream water. When a dike collapses, it is called a broken dike. There is also the artificial breach of the dike, which is to protect most interests and sacrifice local interests. When the flood comes, the dike will be dug as needed to let the flood enter the predetermined flood storage and detention area.

River breach refers to the phenomenon that the water level in the basin rises sharply due to heavy rain, snowmelt, icing, storm surge and other reasons. After the water overflows the top of the dam, it gradually takes away the earth that built the dam, and then the dam becomes thinner and softer, which can't stop the upstream water, causing the river to wash away the dam.

Preventive measures:

Flood control is one of the natural disasters that human beings need to face for a long time, and dike breaking is one of the most serious factors causing flood control. In view of the occurrence of dike breach, it is an important response to formulate emergency plans for flood control and dike breach. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to monitor and evaluate the potential risk of bank break, and reinforce and deal with the areas prone to bank break.

Leaders at all levels should always keep a clear head and improve their understanding of flood control work. They must be highly vigilant. They should attach great importance to the problems existing in flood control work. In accordance with the requirements of "preventing floods, grabbing major risks, resisting major floods and saving major disasters", we should carefully find out the weak links in flood control work, be aware of them, and take immediate measures to rectify them.

Assess the situation more carefully, consider the existing problems more comprehensively, do all the preparations for flood control more solidly and fully, and strive for the initiative of flood control work. Adhere to the principle of "safety first, constant vigilance, prevention first and all-out rescue", adhere to the principle that construction is more important than grabbing, prevention is more important than grabbing, and grabbing is more important than saving, and adhere to the combination of engineering measures and non-engineering measures.

Adhere to the principle of combining geological engineering management with water conservancy project management. The design of flood dike project must be based on the geological data provided by the geological department. According to the geological conditions, the design unit should adopt the most appropriate and reasonable scheme in the design of dike structural members and foundation forms to ensure the safety of flood control dike quality system.
