Rescuers gather before heading out to protect the river dike in Yongji County, northeast China's Jilin Province, Aug. 5, 2010. Rainfall reached 204 mm over the previous 24 hours as of 8 a.m. Thursday in central Jilin, the provincial meteorological station said. Constant rains had forced seven of the 25 medium and large reservoirs in Jilin City, including Fengman, Baishan and Xingxingshao, to discharge water, and their levels were falling, according to Jilin municipal government.
