The water level of Poyang Lake in Jiangxi has dropped by nearly 5 meters in a month

July 31, 2022, near the waters of Duchangji Mountain in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi, tidal flats and wetlands are exposed.

Since the water level of Poyang Lake exited the warning line on June 27, the water level has dropped by 5 meters in a month. Affected by the high temperature and little rainfall and the enhancement of the pull-out effect of the Yangtze River, the water level of Poyang Lake has dropped significantly, and it has continued to lose weight. Currently, the water level continues to drop. A large area of ​​tidal flats and wetlands in Poyang Lake emerge from the water surface, providing a large area for migratory birds to perch and forage.
