Drought hits China's largest fresh water lake

The water level of the lake declined, shrinking the water area to 1,340 square kilometers, less than half the average 3,419 square kilometers measured during the same time of past years. The Poyang Lake entered the low water season, two months ahead of normal.[Photo/CFP]
