Severe Drought in China
Maidi Village, Jinzhong Town, Huize County. This mountain area is severely hit by the drought and it's not possible to plant any crop in high altitude this year. The villagers' and farmers' lives have been affected severely. Farmers have been reclaiming the water from the bottom of the reservoir, but they estimated that the drought will not cease soon, so they plan to plant short growing cycle cabbage.

Drought in Yunnan
In the fall of 2009, severe drought hit southern China, causing drinking water shortage in the area. In March and April 2010, Greenpeace helped setting up water pumps powered by solar energy for some villagers in the Yunnan Province.
The drought is another chilling reminder of what climate change has in store for the whole globe unless we revolutionize the way we make and use energy.
