According to the latest statistics of the State Defense Office, as of August 4, 52.53 million mu of cultivated land in the country was affected by drought, and 4.39 million and 1.74 million large livestock were suffering from dry drinking. 

The drought conditions in some areas of Hunan, Guizhou and Hubei provinces are serious and are developing. It is reported that since mid-July, most of the Jianghuai and Jiangnan areas have sustained high temperature and low rainfall, resulting in the disaster of 4.712 million mu of farmland in Zhejiang, of which 245,000 mu was harvested. 

The 12.6 million mu of farmland in Hunan Province was affected by drought, and nearly 1.38 million people had difficulty in drinking water temporarily. There are different degrees of drought in the 80 counties and cities in the province, and 36 counties and cities have reached drought and above. The sound of drought is anxious, and various departments and places have launched a battle against drought. On July 30, the National Defense General launched the national drought-resistance level IV emergency response, and sent 36 working groups to various places to help guide the local authorities to do drought relief work. On the basis of the early phase of the 1.65 billion yuan of the central government's drought relief funds, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance arranged a number of extra-large drought relief funds to support the dry areas.

All parts of Zhejiang actively resist drought and minimize drought losses. Hangzhou strengthened the unified deployment and management of drought-resistant water sources, transferred water to the basin and inter-regional water level of 19.523 million cubic meters; built a shading net of 128,000 square meters to ensure the survival rate of seedlings with poor drought tolerance, and implemented artificial precipitation for 16 times to make the city's drought Basically relieved. Huzhou cadres went deep into the front line to fight drought, and the agricultural technology department formed 65 disaster relief service teams to go deep into the fields to guide farmers to use water reasonably and save water. 

At the same time, the farmer was guided to reset the farmland and timely replanted the autumn grain. At present, all the land in the city has been replanted. In Hunan, in the mountain road of Xixi Town, Tunxi County, the sound of horseshoes is heard. The town organized the caravan water supply team to go to the Dazhai Village. I heard that the town came to deliver water. The Miao Village, which was quiet for many days, boiled up. Everyone happily picked up the bottled water. This is a microcosm of the drought relief services of the party committees and governments across the province. At present, all the party members and cadres in the province are organized into the village to find out the situation, to clarify the situation, and to actively organize water, water and water. At present, through the reservoir water supply, emergency water transfer, well water diversion, water supply, etc., the drinking water difficulties of 1.38 million people have been solved. There are no incidents in the province that endanger the safety of the people due to drought or water shortage or drinking unhygienic water. 

In Guizhou, in response to the recent intensified drought, the provincial party committee and the provincial government have repeatedly researched and deployed drought relief work. The disaster areas have actively adjusted the expenditure structure, increased the investment of rescue funds, and actively adopted water supply, well drilling, and subsidies. Guarantee the basic livelihood of the affected people. As of August 2, the province's province has invested a total of 51.508 million yuan in disaster relief, and rescued 639,000 people. The provincial agricultural machinery department invested 6.74 million yuan to guide the overhaul of more than 160,000 sets of drought-resistant machines. The Guizhou Provincial Department of Water Resources organized more than 5,000 water and drought resistance assault troops to fight drought, implemented more than 230 drought-resistant emergency water source projects, and invested more than 30,000 sets of drought-resistant machines, which solved the temporary situation of more than 210,000 people and more than 80,000 large livestock. Drinking water is difficult. 

According to statistics, since the occurrence of drought, the southern dry areas have invested more than 6.16 million people in drought-resistant labor (times), more than 200,000 electromechanical wells, more than 30,000 pumping stations, 590,000 sets of mobile drought-resistant equipment, and mobile water. 35,000 vehicles, through the reservoir water transfer, emergency water pumping and well pumping, accumulatively completed more than 50 million acres of drought-resistant watering, solved the difficulty of temporary drinking of 4.39 million, 1.74 million large livestock. It is predicted that there will still be no effective rainfall in the arid regions of the South in the next 10 days, and the high temperature weather will continue. 

The agricultural drought may be aggravated. Some people in the hilly areas will become increasingly severe due to difficulties in drinking water, and the drought situation is very serious. The State Defense General said that in the future, the drought relief work plan will be further refined, various drought relief measures will be implemented, and efforts to combat drought and reduce disasters will be made. According to the Chinese government network news, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Current High Temperature and Drought Defense Response" on the 4th. The notice requires full efforts to ensure normal production and living order and drinking water safety, and to ensure the safety of drinking water for urban and rural residents in the first place in drought relief work. The notice requires that all efforts should be made to ensure the normal production and living order and the safety of drinking water. We must do our best to do water and electricity supply and dispatch, high temperature heatstroke prevention, sanitation and epidemic prevention, traffic safety management, urban and forest fire prevention, etc., to reduce or avoid outdoor work during high temperature periods. It is necessary to ensure the safety of drinking water for urban and rural residents in the first place in drought relief work, to conduct a thorough investigation of the water shortage situation in the dry areas, to refine the plan for drinking water for different types of water shortage, to take water from wells, to adjust water, to raise water, and to deliver water. 

And counterpart support and other measures to protect the basic living water of the people. The notice proposes to strengthen drought monitoring and scientific dispatch of water resources. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and forecasting of rain, water and sensation, scientifically study the development trend of drought, and provide support for drought-resisting command and decision-making. It is necessary to make full use of mobile phone text messages, radio and television, and other means to release disaster warning information in a timely manner, and remind farmers to take various measures to reduce agricultural production losses due to drought. It is necessary to fully consider the current and later drought-resistant water demand, rationally use and deploy existing drought-resistant water sources, strengthen planned water use and water conservation, and coordinate the urban and rural residents' living, industrial and agricultural production and ecological water use to maximize the benefits of limited water sources. 

It is necessary to seize the favorable opportunity of rainfall, make full use of water conservancy projects to intercept rainwater resources, and strive to increase storage in Kutang. In areas with rainfall conditions, artificial rainfall enhancement should be carried out in a timely manner to improve soil moisture in dry areas. Notification requirements, comprehensive technical guidance and material funding support. All regions should strengthen drought-related technical guidance and services, organize water conservancy and agricultural technicians to go deep into the drought, help the masses implement drought-resistant field management measures, replant and replant in time, and actively carry out production and self-help. It is necessary to give full play to the role of the drought relief service team and carry out services such as emergency drilling, water supply and flow expansion. 

It is necessary to raise funds through multiple channels and increase investment in drought relief. It is necessary to mobilize drought-resistant equipment and equipment to meet the drought-resistant needs. The notice stated that it is necessary to effectively improve the basic capacity for drought and disaster reduction. In response to the problems and weak links in drought prevention, in areas where drought is normalized, the ability to enhance drought-resistant water supply should be placed in a more prominent position, and overall planning should be made to adapt to local conditions to build drought-resistant emergency water supply projects and improve drought. Focusing on monitoring capabilities and management services, improving drought and disaster mitigation systems, strengthening infrastructure and basic farmland water conservancy construction, and fundamentally strengthening the ability to withstand severe and severe drought disasters.

It is necessary to guide farmers to actively participate in agricultural insurance, urge insurance companies to strengthen claims services, and improve the level of agricultural disaster prevention. The notice required to prevent droughts and floods from turning sharply, and earnestly grasp the flood control and flood prevention work. At present, the country is in the midst of the “seven downs and eights” flood control period. At the same time as we are doing a good job in drought relief work, we must continue to make overall plans for local disasters such as heavy rainfall and typhoons. It is necessary to make early plans, arrange in advance, do a good job in mobilizing and checking the flood prevention organization, strengthen monitoring and forecasting of rainwater conditions, prepare for emergency materials, strengthen mountain flood disaster prevention, and ensure large rivers, large and medium-sized reservoirs, key flood control areas, and small and medium rivers. And small reservoirs and other weak links in flood control are safe. According to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the hot weather will continue to expand tomorrow, and it will show a trend of developing to the north. At 18:00 today, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued the highest level of high temperature orange warning for the eleventh consecutive day, while continuing to issue a drought yellow warning.
