ULAN BATORmegamillionscosttoplay, Augmegamillionscosttoplay. 7 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia's National Agency for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring reported on Wednesday that water levels in major rivers across Mongolia have surpassed warning thresholds due to continuous heavy rainfall.
As of Wednesday morning, several key rivers, including the Tuul, Kherlen, Selenge, Onon, Orkhon, and Kharaa, have exceeded their warning levels by 20 to 195 centimeters. The agency has indicated that these levels are expected to rise further in the coming days.
Heavy rains have impacted large areas of the country, particularly the central and eastern regions, since late July. In response, the agency has issued a warning for the public, especially nomadic herders living along the flooded rivers and tourists, urging them to take extra precautions to guard against potential disasters.■
