The Yangtze River basin has suffered the worst drought in 61 years.

Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, Hubei and many other provinces have encountered drought conditions, crops have been destroyed, rivers have dried up, and the creatures in the rivers have been sunburned. The relevant departments immediately activated the drought prevention level 4 emergency response. The year 2022 is indeed different, many provinces have encountered unprecedented difficulties, but when one side is in trouble, all sides support, and everyone's hearts are together, unite and help each other, and tide over the difficulties together.

In August 2022, more than nine provinces were hit by natural disasters.

In some areas, the heavy rain situation is more severe, causing floods and debris flows.

and other natural disasters, and the temperature in some areas has been above 40 degrees, and the surface temperature has also reached 50 or 60 degrees Celsius.

It really makes people have nowhere to stand, even if they wear shoes, they will feel the temperature on the ground, and some people even do some experiments, put the fruit on the ground and expose it to the sun, and finally it becomes dried fruit. The affected area of these provinces has reached 329.9 million mu, and many residents and creatures do not have enough water sources. <>

The provinces with the greatest impact are Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Sichuan and other provinces and cities. According to the research, the fire should be caused by high temperature, although many people rushed to the scene to put out the fire, but the situation is still not optimistic, the local residents are very tired, but they still insist on the first line of fire fighting. More than 70 counties and cities in Jiangxi Province have reached severe drought, and the affected area of plants has exceeded 11 million mu, causing economic losses of about 5.8 billion yuan.

The bridge piers in many areas are completely exposed, and the original water level is relatively high, but I never thought that the high temperature for nearly a month caused these rivers to dry up, and the high temperature has been lively, which may make the drought situation more and more serious, so the local residents must be psychologically prepared, and some areas are ready to use backup reservoirs.

Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, these areas are more severe in drought, the temperature is relatively high, and the precipitation is reduced.

Including Sichuan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei. Defense-level early warnings have been given in all these places.

At present, Chongqing and other areas in southern China are very dry, which has affected the daily life of residents.

China's current water resources can survive indefinitely.

In the wake of the rare heat and drought in the Yangtze River basin, many people are aware of the importance of protecting water resources, and since China is a country with very little water per capita, many people are worried that China's current water resources will be depleted.

Although water resources are extremely important for human survival, they are not non-renewable resources. Because water resources cannot disappear in a vacuum, but will exist in another form, it is precisely because water resources are recyclable that China's current water resources can survive indefinitely. <>

If water resources are not protected, there is a risk that water resources will be polluted, and if polluted water resources are used by humans, then our health will be seriously problematic. Although water resources can survive indefinitely, this is not the case with polluted water resources, so protecting water resources is protecting ourselves. <>

Although we use a lot of water every day, it doesn't mean that the water used is wasted. And those used water resources through evaporation, into the circulation system, after the completion of the water resources cycle, water resources will inevitably return to our side, because water resources can be effectively replenished, so China's water resources can be sustained indefinitely. <>

We don't need to worry about water depletion, as long as we protect it, we can always enjoy clean water. If there is no protection of water resources, then even if they can be recycled, it will not bring us healthy results.

It can last for hundreds of years, but if the heat persists, the water may not last long, and it will also lead to soil drying up and death, and according to the latest data released by the state, the current drought situation is generally manageable.

At present, China's water resources can still last for a while, and the impact of this high temperature weather on the local area is also very serious, it is recommended that the relevant departments should strengthen the protective measures in this regard, to avoid causing more serious high temperature impact, resulting in a serious shortage of human water resources.

It won't last long, but it should be okay in the short term. The main thing is that the continuous high temperature makes people more easily irritable.

I feel that China's water resources can still support many years at present, because China is not very short of water.

Most of the drought is caused by high temperatures, which evaporate relatively quickly. Due to the rapid evaporation of the water surface, the water source in the Yangtze River basin has gradually entered a period of drought, and the rainfall in hot weather is gradually decreasing, and the water supply in the Yangtze River basin is not very sufficient.

Recently, the weather has been relatively hot, and the drought in the Yangtze River basin has also become very severe, and the rainfall in this weather is inversely proportional to the rate of evaporation of the water surface, so the drought in the surrounding areas will be very serious.

1. Hot weather.

Due to the continuous emergence of high temperature weather in recent days, the drought in the Yangtze River basin will gradually increase, because the high temperature weather will evaporate the water source of the Yangtze River basin, so with the passage of time, the higher the temperature weather, the longer the duration, the faster the water surface evaporation, and then the drought in the Yangtze River basin will become more and more serious, this is a chain effect, in recent times there have been high temperatures in many places in China, such as the temperature in Chongqing, Sichuan is very high. <>

Second, the rainfall is reduced.

Due to the high temperature weather, the continuous rainfall will also be reduced, many places have not rained for more than 10 consecutive days, so in this case, there is not much water to replenish the Yangtze River Basin, so as time goes by, the high temperature weather continues, and the water in the Yangtze River Basin will become less and less, so in the Yangtze River Basin, the surrounding drought will become more and more serious, so it affects the surrounding crops and residents' water use. <>

3. Evaporation on the water surface.

Due to the high temperature of the day, so under the exposure of the sun, the speed of water surface evaporation is very fast, once the water surface evaporation rate is too fast, it will gradually decrease, especially in the Yangtze River basin exposed to the outdoors, the water source of the Yellow River basin is easy to become less and less under the continuous high temperature, so if the high temperature weather continues, the water surface evaporation will continue, so that the drought will become more and more serious. <>

Insufficient soil moisture can not meet the needs of pasture and other crop growth, resulting in a large reduction or extinction of yield. Drought is a widespread natural disaster, which not only affects agriculture, but also seriously affects industrial production, urban water supply and the ecological environment. In China, the normal growth of crops affected by water shortage during the growing period is usually called drought, and the reduction of yield by more than 30% due to drought is called disaster.

Areas where drought is frequent are called drought-prone areas.

High temperature and little rain. Prolonged periods of high temperatures in the Yangtze River basin, coupled with no rain, have caused drought in the region.

Because the weather is too hot, some of the small rivers have dried up and the water has evaporated, which has caused a drought situation, and we should take certain measures to save it.

The causes of drought in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are as follows:1. Rainy season.

After that, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Controlled by the subtropical high, the climate is hot and precipitation is low, and if there are fewer typhoons and other activities, evaporation will be greater than precipitation, resulting in drought.

2. As the temperature rises, the land pressure decreases, and the subtropical high pressure over the Pacific Ocean.

Hawaiian high pressure) gradually moved westward, and in a normal year, it controlled the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River from mid-July to mid-August. Under the control of the subtropical high pressure (Hawaii high pressure), the downdraft is very strong, and it is difficult to form precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Anhui provinces have affected 12.32 million mu of cultivated land, 830,000 people, and 160,000 large livestock have been affected by the drought.

The hot summer is the rainy season, but this year is quite different from previous years, the flood season has been depleted, the Yangtze River basin continues to be high temperature and little rain, the river water is less, the water level continues to be low, the water level continues to be low, the lack of water storage in small and medium-sized reservoirs has led to meteorological drought caused by lack of water in many places of the soil, after the incident, the local relevant departments immediately took measures to relieve the disaster, on August 17, 2022, the Ministry of Water Resources press conference introduced the Yangtze River basin drought and water supply, to ensure the autumn grain harvest of the relevant situation.

What are the characteristics of drought in the Yangtze River?

Since July, the precipitation in the Yangtze River basin has been less than that of the same period in normal years, and the number of high temperature days in the rainfall period has exceeded 20 days, and the number of high temperature days in the middle and lower reaches has exceeded 30 days, which is the main cause of drought in the Yangtze River basin. Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake were below the dry water level on August 4, 2022, and August 6, 2022, respectively, since 1971, the earliest. In the drought of the Yangtze River, we can also see that the water storage of the reservoir in Chongqing, Chongqing and Anhui in Sichuan is less than that in the same period of the year, which is also the main factor leading to the drought in the Yangtze River.

What are the impacts along the Yangtze River?

In the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake basin, Dongting Lake basin, there are a large number of people and large livestock in the arid area have encountered great obstacles to drought resistance when drinking water, there must be water, the Ministry of Water Resources immediately planned in advance after learning of the situation, in the face of this situation, we must ensure that there is no effective rainfall in the most unfavorable situation, formulate a regional water project scheduling plan in the basin, and implement it accurately, and do a good job in the connection between the scheduling of reservoir groups and water intake.

What is my personal opinion?

I believe that at present, it seems that China is still in the flood season, and while doing a good job in fighting drought, we must always tighten the string of flood control, overcome paralysis, and relax our mentality in order to better avoid the occurrence of unexpected situations.

The worst drought in the Yangtze River basin in 60 years has affected crops along the Yangtze River and their growth is not very good.

The Yangtze River basin has experienced the worst meteorological drought since 1961.

Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Anhui provinces (municipalities) have 12.32 million mu of cultivated land affected by drought, and 830,000 people and 160,000 large livestock have been affected by the drought.

Officials expect that before the end of August, the precipitation and water supply in the Yangtze River basin will still be on the low side, and the precipitation and water in most areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River may continue to be low in September, and the drought situation in Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and other places may further develop, and the water storage situation in the reservoirs in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is grim.

The worst drought in the Yangtze River basin in 60 years will affect the areas along the river from water scarcity and the inability of plants to grow.

If the water level drops, it will have a certain impact on the economy and crops on both sides of the Yangtze River, and it will also have a certain impact on water transportation.
