In South China, where much of the area seems unable to shake off a drought that  last months.


Provinces including Hubei, Jiangsu, Guizhou, Hunan, and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region remain parched, and up to 120-thousand people have been affected.


Known as the "land of a thousand lakes," Hubei is suffering from a drought that has lasted for five months. A lingering drought in central China's Hubei Province has rendered 1,392 reservoirs virtually useless as only dead water remains in them.



One fourth of all small-sized reservoirs in Hubei were unusable with just dead water remaining in them which could only be pumped for use in an emergency.
