A DROUGHT since September had affected 909,000 people in east China's Jiangxi Province, a spokesman for the provincial flood control and drought relief office said yesterday.
The drought had cut off normal water supplies in some rural areas. "Villagers in Fengxin, Jing'an and Leping counties have to carry drinking water by trucks," said Sun Xiaoshan, deputy director of the office.
"The water levels of four of the province's five main rivers hit record lows and are still dropping.
"The self-cleaning ability of rivers has decreased significantly due to the drastic fall of volume, posing a threat to public health."
The provincial government had stepped up monitoring and supervision over enterprises that may cause pollution, Sun added.
The drought was expected to end between January and February, he said.
