Yangtze River Suffers Serious Dry Season | Two people stand on the bank of Yangtze River in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province on December 2, 2007. The Yangtze River Administration under the Ministry of Transportation issued an emergency warning on December 5 to remind cargo ships on the longest river in China to avoid being stranded in the low water due to the lingering dry season. Since November, the average water level in the middle reaches has decreased by 1.5 meters than normal, mainly because of less rainfall in the dry season. (Xinhua) |
