GUANGZHOU, April 21 (Xinhua) -- A total of 38 hydrological stations at 24 rivers in south China's Guangdong Province have reported water levels surpassing the alert threshold as of 4 p.m. on Sunday, according to the provincial department of water resources.

Rescue efforts are also underway. A total of 652 people have been relocated and properly resettled in the Longgui Township in Shaoguan, according to the local officials.
