CRI听力:Drought Causing Water Shortages in Henan

2014-07-29来源:CRI

A drought in the central part of China has been affecting tens of thousands of people living in Henan.

The drought has damaged over 900-thousand hectares of fall grain crops, and is also causing drinking water shortages.

Shi Haibo is with Henan's Flood Control and Drought Relief Office. 

"About 910,000 hectares of autumn grain crops across the province have been affected. About 140,000 hectares are in serious condition. The water supply to towns and cities in Henan is being ensured. But 185,000 people living in the mountains are being impacted, along with 46,000 heads of livestock."

The drought is also causing power outages in the provincial capital, Zhengzhou, along with the city of Pingdingshan.
