China's Ministry of Water Resources said Monday that a level-III emergency response for flood control has been initiated as floods hit south China's Pearl River basin.

Heavy rain will likely sweep the Pearl River basin from Monday to Wednesday, with the water levels of its main rivers, including the Xijiang, Beijiang and Hanjiang rivers, estimated to rise.

The ministry has sent working groups to Guangxi and Guangdong to guide flood control work.

China has a four-tier flood-control emergency response system, with level I being the most severe.
