Counties surrounding the Poyang Lake in east China’s Jiangxi Province have actually taken a variety of steps to deal with the food lack for migratory birds as an outcome of the low water level induced by the months-long dry spell.
Since of the extended severe heat, the Poyang Lake went into the dry season 105 days earlier than normal this year. The sharp decrease in water volume has actually resulted in a reduction in feeding birds.
Approximately 100,000 migratory birds have actually currently gotten to the Poyang Lake for the winter season up until now, and the number is anticipated to grow. Regional authorities have actually maintained over 66 hectares of unharvested paddy field, consisting of almost 500,000 kgs of grain for the birds to survive on up until next spring. All at once, the impacted farmers are being properly compensated.
In addition, 16 tracking and patrolling stations were developed 15 days earlier than in previous years. In combination with the caution and tracking system of the Poyang Lake wetland, 53 workers were appointed to carry out 24-hour tracking of the migratory birds, wetlands, and fisheries.
By digging ditches to draw water and draining pipes the inner lake, the federal government has actually supplemented 525,000 cubic meters of water for the Changhu and Shahu locations of the Poyang Lake, efficiently supplementing the water source required by migratory birds.
According to the weather report, Jiangxi will continue to experience cloudy and rainy weather condition over the next 7 days, and the water level of the Poyang Lake will gradually increase.
