三峡水库水位跌破160米 腾库速度为近5年最快

　　新华社宜昌5月1日电（记者谭元斌）三峡水库加速腾库迎汛，5月1日14时水位已跌破160米，速度为近5年最快。

　　中国长江三峡集团公司发布的水情信息显示，1日14时，三峡水库入库流量10200立方米每秒，出库流量16100立方米每秒，坝上水位159.66米，坝下水位64.80米。2012年至2015年，三峡水库坝上水位跌破160米分别在当年5月10日、5月13日、5月5日、5月5日完成，今年的腾库速度为近5年最快。

　　为了给长江流域今年可能发生的大洪水腾出库容以保障防洪安全，4月22日起，三峡枢纽逐步加大下泄流量。27日20时，三峡水库出库流量达到17000立方米每秒，为近期峰值，也创下了历史同时刻的最高纪录。

　　4月22日14时至5月1日14时，三峡水库坝上水位由163.98米消落至159.66米，消落高度达4.32米，平均每天消落0.48米。目前，三峡水库已释放约六成防洪库容。

　　三峡集团向家坝、溪洛渡两大水库的水位也在平稳消落。1日14时，向家坝上游水位378.81米，距离370米的防洪限制水位已不足9米，溪洛渡上游水位559.54米，已降至560米的防洪限制水位以下。
