Yea, when there is a hurricane or a earthquake, people will see the tragedy like house dropdown and people dying with blood, broken arms and legs, but when it refers to a drought, most people have no sense of its damage ability.

Yes! It’s a fish inside a drought mud and dead.
It happened in YUNNAN, China where the worst drought in decades has left millions of people without water and caused more than 1,000 schools to close, officials said Thursday.
Of course, unofficials number will be much more.
“The situation here will get worse in the coming months before it gets any better, but hopefully with more wells and water being diverted to those in need, we can help ease the situation,” said Ma, who like many Chinese officials would give only his surname.
The drought, which has left southwestern China suffering since last year, has affected about 61 million people and left more than 12 million acres (about 5 million hectares) barren in Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing and Guangxi, the official Xinhua News Agency cited the Ministry of Civil Affairs as saying.
How pathetic I am, I feel no hope for the official GOV guy.
“Cloud seeding hasn’t been very successful, so even though we are drilling for wells and diverting water from dams to people in need, new areas will begin to suffer as long as there is no rain,” said Ma.
No details were given on the cloud-seeding efforts. China has been experimenting with weather modification for decades, using a technique known as cloud-seeding to induce rainfall, though international scientists say there has never been proof that such methods produce results.
Anybody, if you can, please help them.
