9月14日8时，三峡水库水位达到164.69米，三峡船闸由五级补水运行转换为五级不补水运行，较去年提前了8天，允许过闸船舶的最大吃水按4.2米控制。

On September fourteenth 8,Of the three gorges reservoir water level to 164.69 meters,The three gorges lock by fresh water running into a category five not running water,Compared to last year the 8 days in advance,Allow the biggest draft of vessels passing by 4.2 meters control.

　　今年三峡水库在前期调洪的基础上开始蓄水，逐步抬升水位，原则上9月30日蓄水位按165.0米控制，10月底或11月份争取蓄至175.0米。至9月14日8时，三峡坝上水位已达到164.69米，按照设计运行要求，三峡船闸由五级补水运行转换为五级不补水运行。结合三峡船闸上下游水位组合计算的门槛最小水深情况，长江三峡通航管理局决定自9月14日起将三峡船闸允许过闸船舶的最大吃水由之前的4.0米调整到4.2米。

This year in the three gorges reservoir on the basis of the flood regulating start filling,Gradually lifted water level,In principle, September 30 storage level to press 165.0 meters control,The end of October or November for storage to 175.0 meters.To September 14, 8,The three gorges dam water level has reached 164.69 meters,According to the design operation requirements,The three gorges lock by fresh water running into a category five not running water.Three gorges ship lock and downstream water level combination calculation threshold minimum depth situation,The Yangtze river three gorges navigation administration decision since September 14 will allow the three gorges ship lock of vessels passing by the maximum draft before the adjustment of 4.0 meters to 4.2 meters.

　　据测算，提前8天时间可增加船闸通过量约16万吨。允许过闸船舶的最大吃水提高到4.2米以后，5000吨级标准船舶可以满载过闸，为航运企业营运效益提升创造有利条件。

According to the calculation,8 days ahead of time can increase the lock through the quantity of about 160000 tons.Allow the biggest draft of vessels passing up to 4.2 meters later,5000 t standard ship can load a brake,For shipping enterprise operational efficiency ascension create favorable conditions.
