2011年六月六日,七日北京,路透社消息。
本周二,中国官方媒体称紧随影响中南部的旱灾之后,本周末袭击中国的暴雨将会给一些地区带来致命的洪涝灾害。
降雨缓解了百分之三十九的受旱耕地,大约是两百三十万公顷(8880平方英里)。其中包括湖北和湖南省的一些粮食主产区。据《人民日报》引述国家防汛抗旱总指挥部办公室的报告:在周五到周一之间一些干旱地区降水达80毫米。但是东海岸的江苏省仅有平均3毫米的降水,旱情已然严峻。长江流域附近的一些地区遭受了50年以来最为严重的旱灾,近几个月这些地方的降水量比往年的正常值减少了40~60%。作物受到了严重威胁,水力发电站也中断了蓄水发电以缓解下游的旱情。根据新华社的消息:在西南的贵州省,缓解了干旱的洪水在黔西南布依族苗族自治州望谟县已经导致9人死亡,13人失踪。
来势凶猛的降雨导致河水泛滥,淹没了县城和村庄。使得6000多人无家可归。
旱灾打击了农作物种植,中断了水力发电。这等于为三年来处于高位的通货膨胀火上浇油。
在今年第一个季度庄稼遭受旱灾后,降雨将会增加农民对于种植年中期稻米的信心。
旱灾已经波及了是百万公顷的耕地。灾情最严重的是位于长江中下游的五个省份:湖南,湖北,江西,安徽,江苏。官方数据显示:这五个省份的稻米产量,占了全中国稻米总产量的近五成。但是在去年第一季度的稻米的产量仅占全年一亿九千六百万吨稻米的百分之十六。
原文: China drought retreats after heavy rains
BEIJING, June 7 | Mon Jun 6, 2011 8:33pm EDT
(Reuters) - A drought that has gripped parts of central and southern China has retreated after downpours over the weekend that brought deadly flooding to one area, official media reports said on Tuesday.
The rains shrank the area of farmland affected by drought by 39 percent to 2.3 million hectares (8,880 square miles), including in the major rice-growing provinces of Hubei and Hunan, the People's Daily reported, citing the national flood and drought relief office.
Parts of China along the Yangtze River basin and nearby have been enduring their worst drought in 50 years or more, with rainfall 40 to 60 percent less than normal over recent months, damaging crops and cutting power from hydroelectric dams.
Some dry areas enjoyed rains of up to 80 millimetres (3.1 inches) between Friday and Monday, the People's Daily said. But Jiangsu province on the east coast received only about 3 millimetres average rainfall, leaving parts of it still parched.
In the southwest province of Guizhou, the easing of drought swung to flooding that killed 9 people and left 13 missing in Wangmo County. Torrential rains there overwhelmed the local river and flooded the county seat and other towns, forcing 6,000 people to move, Xinhua news agency reported.
The drought has damaged crops and exACerbated a power shortage by cutting power generation from dams, adding a slight bump to near three-year high consumer inflation.
The rains will add to farmers' hopes that they will be able to plant mid-year rice crops after early-season plantings suffered under the drought.
The drought has hit millions of hectares of farmland, mainly in the five provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze.
Rice acreage in these five provinces accounts for nearly half of China's total rice area, official data show. But early-season rice accounted for only 16 percent of China's total rice output of 196 million tonnes last year. |
