Text of report in English by official Chinese news agency Xinhua (New China News Agency) [Xinhua: "4th Ld-Writethru: Water Level of China's Main Quake Lake Keeps falling, Water Quality Concerns"] Mianyang, Sichuan, June 11 (Xinhua) - The water level of the Tangjiashan quake lake in southwest China's Sichuan Province kept on dropping on Wednesday, while experts warned that dangers remain.

Water churned through a drainage channel and engulfed empty towns Tuesday after Chinese soldiers blasted away the debris that kept an earthquake-formed lake threatening more than a million people downstream.

MIANYANG, China - Water poured from a massive lake formed by China's deadly earthquake in a carefully engineered diversion Saturday to ease the threat of flooding for a million people in the disaster zone.

Chinese experts, after days of around-the-clock work, say they have drained half of an earthquake-created lake, largely ending the threat of it bursting.
