AN island city in east China's Zhejiang Province began rationing water yesterday due to the continuing drought.
Residents in Zhoushan will only be able to use running water for five hours a day, as 20 of the city's 29 reservoirs are unable to supply water due to low water levels.
Rainfall in Zhoushan was just 150 millimeters from January to May - the lowest in the city's history.
On the island of Xiazhi, where Zhoushan is located, water is supplied by desalinizing saltwater or is imported from inland regions.
