The flood also destroyed 20,000 houses and 3.6 million mu (240,000 hectares) crop land. Meanwhile, traffic was cut on 76 highways and 441 km of electricity supply lines were damaged.

The total economic loss is estimated at three billion yuan (US$395 million).

The provincial meteorological bureau has forecast further rainstorms in the next week in Bazhong, Guang'an and five other cities in eastern Sichuan as well as some areas on the western plateau.

The neighboring Chongqing Municipality has also suffered from heavy rain since Wednesday. The municipal meteorological bureau warned the public to be aware of flood, landslide and mud-rock flow risks.

Meanwhile, forecasters have warned that the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, which runs through east China, had reached critical levels.
