Huangguoshu Waterfall is facing the worst water scarcity in its history as the city is hit by a severe drought that has made over 90 percent of the river and reservoir dry up.
Rare drought has seriously cut down fresh flower output in Yunnan province, China's largest fresh flower production and export base, driving up market prices, the provincial flower industry office said Saturday.
Severe drought has affected 51 million Chinese and left more than 16 million people and 11 million livestock with drinking water shortages, China's State Commission of Disaster Relief said Friday.
