Authorities are concerned the swelling lake will burst as water from the Jianhe river in Beichuan county in China's southwestern Sichuan province rises behind the earthquake-created dam, the Xinhua news agency reported.
根据新华社报道,目前专家分析道,地震引起的山崩使得中国四川南部的北川县的Jianhe湖水位暴涨,随时有冲破河呗的危险.

"The lake ... may cause a devastating flooding if the barrier bursts," Xinhua said. Authorities want to control the flow of water -- rather than have the dam give way all at once -- by creating a spillway.
"如果堰塞湖冲破河呗,将带来十分巨大的灾难"新华社报道.专家希望通过炸开一个溢洪道来控制水流量---而不是使得河呗一次性被冲开.

Helicopters transported military experts armed with dynamite and heavy equipment to the site Monday morning. About 1,800 Chinese soldiers and police were already at the site.

More than 30 of the so-called quake lakes were created by the 7.9-magnitude quake that devastated the region on May 12.

Chinese officials Monday emphasized that the country's one-child policy allows families with a child killed, severely injured or disabled to have another child.
