According to Chinese media such as China Dotcom, a large pit was recently found at the bottom of the Tianqi Reservoir in Shappingba District, Chongqing City.
The reservoir is known to be about 60 soccer fields.
The sinkhole was large enough to fit a few adult men, but the depth was unknown.
Local residents claimed that water and fish began to disappear a few days ago. Water swirls were also seen around the pit as the water drastically fell. As a result, the bottom of the reservoir was dry like a turtle shell, and some places were filled with water like small ponds.
Some residents estimated that it was due to the impact of the construction of a highway under construction nearby.
Experts said the sinkhole may have been caused by geological tectonic fluctuations, underground cavitation and other factors, and further investigation and confirmation are needed to determine the specific cause. The authorities also reported that they are seeking advice from experts.
Netizens who watched the video said "Isn't there a river under the reservoir?", "Fish moving through the tunnel"", "Man-made environmental disasters"", "Residents must be anxious."" give a back reaction.
