Xiamen City, Fujian Province will invest another 6 million yuan to fight drought

The municipal finance will allocate more than 6 million yuan for drought prevention and anti-drought measures, such as rural drinking water projects, excavation of large wells and small motor wells in Tian Tou, construction of emergency drinking water sources, as well as deep digging of ponds and dredging of streams and canals.

Up to now, the drought-affected area of farmland crops in the city has reached 110600 mu. Among them, Xiang'an District 42900 mu, Tong'an District 34700 mu, Jimei District 8500 mu, Haicang District 4500 mu. The disaster area is 35800 mu and the harvest area is 300 mu. At present, the drought has not caused difficulties in drinking water, and the city's domestic water supply is basically guaranteed.

According to the forecast, the total rainfall in November is 40mm to 50mm on the island and 50mm to 60mm outside the island. Such rainfall can only moisten the surface, it is difficult to form runoff and cannot increase the capacity of the reservoir. The meteorological department is ready to carry out artificial rain enhancement once the weather conditions are met.
