A total of 53.36 million Mu (about 3.56 million hectares) of crops in China had been affected by severe drought by Saturday, said the Office of State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters.The drought, mostly in China`s southwestern provinces including Yunnan and Guizhou, had damaged crops and cused water shortage to both people and livestock.
In Yunnan, the worst drought-stricken province, up to 31.48 million Mu of crops had been affected, with 11.53 million Mu seriously damaged and 6.16 million Mu destroyed. About 5.97 million people and 3.59 million livestock from water shortage.The drought had also started to affect China`s northern regions, as several northern provinces had not seen rainfall for nearly 40 days with signs of drought showing up in farmlands.

In my opinion, the human destroyed nature environment is the main reason of the why the huge drought happened. Although the environment problems are much accounted by media, they still
happened in our daily life. I think the environment problems should be the one of the subject in primary school because it is a very important problem in the human`s future actually.
