篇一：China drought and china zooshut
China tells people to stay indoors during sandstorm BEIJING (AFP) – China warned residents across a huge swath of the country's north including the capital Beijing to avoid going outside Monday as a sandstorm blanketed the area in fine yellow dust.
The meteorological
administration said a sandstorm that swept down from the Gobi desert Friday would continue to shroud parts of northern China stretching from the far-western region of Xinjiang to Beijing. "We advise friends in these areas to reduce their outdoor activities as much as possible," the
administration said on its website. "When you go out, please wear items to protect against the sand such as cotton cloths, masks and glasses to avoid the sand harming
your eyes and respiratory system."
Sandstorms are an annual occurrence in arid northern China in the spring, when
temperatures start to rise, stirring up clouds of dust that can travel across China to South Korea and Japan, and even as far as the United States.
Scientists blame a combination of deforestation, prolonged
drought and resulting increase in desertification in northern China. The sandstorm's impact stretched all the way to Hong Kong in southern China, where the
government said it contributed to record air pollution on Monday. On Saturday, South Korea warned residents of the capital Seoul as well as central and western regions to stay indoors due to the storm, Yonhap news agency reported.
In Beijing on the same day,
authorities issued a rare level-five pollution warning, signalling hazardous conditions.
The respiratory department at Chaoyang Hospital, one of the city's biggest, said it had seen more than 180 people come with health problems -- 20 percent more than on a usual day, state media reported.
The capital was still cloaked in a mustard-yellow haze () on Monday and residents
complained of coughing and noses clogged with grit, though the administration said the sandstorm was weakening. The storm comes as a severe drought grips the country's southwest, leaving an estimated 20 million people short of drinking water.
China drought leaves millions short
BEIJING (AFP) – Millions of people face drinking water
shortages in southwestern China because of a once-a-century drought that has dried up rivers and threatens vast farmlands, state media reported Wednesday. The drought has gripped huge areas of Guizhou, Yunnan, and Sichuan provinces, the Guangxi region, and the mega-city of Chongqing for months, with rainfall 60 percent below normal since September, the Global Times said.
Guizhou province has been particularly hard-hit, with 86 out of its 88 cities within the drought zone and more than 17 million people short of drinking water, the report said.
Millions of people also were said to be short of water in other provinces, according to various reports.
The Global Times said some rivers had dried up in parts of Guizhou and that local villagers in some areas were lining up to obtain emergency water supplies distributed by the government. China is prone to extreme
weather, and severe droughts are a regular occurrence throughout the country. However, the current water shortages reported in the southwest have been particularly acute.
Meteorological officials in Yunnan have said the drought was the worst in 100 years in some areas, the Global Times said.
The government announced last week that it had initiated hundreds of cloud-seeding
