This is the best summary I could come up with:

As the flooding emergency in western Beijing turned deadlier at the beginning of this week, taking out bridges, washing away dozens of cars at a time, and wreaking havoc on the city, the decision was made to divert the raging waters.

But with the initial rescue effort focused on Beijing with its much larger population, officials there said they were desperately short of watercraft for the task at hand.

Fire brigade rescue teams were there in large numbers at a staging post on dry land, and boats were lined up along a road which had become a river.

Anger has only increased after Hebei’s Party Secretary Ni Yuefeng proudly declared that his province would act as a “moat” to protect Beijing.

The problem is that the flood relief system is simply designed this way, according to Wang Weiluo, a Chinese engineer who now lives overseas after criticising China’s construction of the Three Gorges Dam.

On the road from Zhuozhou back to Beijing, there is a bridge across a river flat which is surrounded on either side by a sea of debris - there are fridges, industrial drums and enough timber to build quite a few houses, along with basketballs and the soft padded flooring of the type children play on in pre-schools.
