Xinhua BEIJING, Feb. 9 comprehensive news, since last October in northern China continued below normal precipitation in winter wheat region, Hebei, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong and Henan , Shaanxi, Gansu Province, eight outcrops in parts of the drought and continued development, growth was seriously affected crops in some areas, drinking water difficult. According to weather forecasters, most recently the Middle East precipitation will occur, but limited role for drought mitigation, drought will continue. For the sustainable development of drought, the department launched the emergency response, and local act quickly to seize the favorable opportunity of rise of temperature, moves Seedlings

scheduling, according to Ministry of Agriculture, agricultural condition, as of February 4, 9611 Eight acres of Winter Wheat drought-hit, accounting for eight provinces 35.1% of winter wheat planting area, accounting for eight provinces 21.7% of arable land, drought winter wheat area and output eight provinces account for the country than Bacheng. threat.

official program of the preparation of drought emergency response departments start

present, Shandong, Hebei and other parts has been 3 consecutive months without effective rainfall, Hebei, Shanxi, Jiangsu and other provinces outcrops in parts of the drought and sustainable development. National Headquarters, Ministry of Water Resources made a number of drought mitigation measures. First, take emergency wells, construction of the temporary increase in water diversion facilities, methods, and strengthen Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces of 8 drought watering. Second, to the end of February in accordance with the situation still did not effective precipitation, the implementation of the Yellow River and other emergency transfer, to ensure the Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Henan, Gansu and other six provinces arid drinking water safety.

National Headquarters, Ministry of Water Resources drought-hit nine provinces in organizing the program of development of drought, based on the current drought and follow-up time, no effective precipitation for some adverse circumstances, the preparation of the program of the Ministry of drought

for the current drought situation, the Ministry of Agriculture decided to start on February 4th Grade drought emergency response, increase drought resistance in spring wheat region in the north tube of the guidance and support, immediately to the Jiangsu, Anhui and other provinces sent the drought led by the Secretary of the Working Group Secretary, in-depth serious drought in spring drought management supervision and guidance work.

Agriculture Minister Han Feb. 7 to Hebei, Shandong Agricultural drought on the current research work. He stressed that the agricultural sector at all levels to do everything possible to have a good summer grain harvest, and win the first battle and stable development of grain throughout the year. He pointed out that the agricultural sector at all levels in accordance with the requirements of the central, positive action, drought resistant, anti-long drought resistance in winter and spring drought.

2 9 February, the Ministry of Agriculture will hold a national drought video conference to promote the work of the spring tube, spring management of drought insurance for re-mobilization of the work, and then deploy, and then implement, and to Hebei, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Anhui , Shandong, Henan and other provinces and then the Secretary under the Secretary to send six working groups led to drought relief, drought throughout the spring tube supervision and inspection preparation and progress of the work.

for the continuing drought in some northern provinces, the ministry has also launched a technology emergency response of emergency plans, take effective measures to drought mitigation. Prior to the establishment of Science and Technology full Committee of Experts on the role of agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation, has held business federation, put forward specific recommendations to strengthen disaster dynamic tracking guidance. Meanwhile, the use of remote sensing monitoring system, combined with artificial surface observations, satellite remote sensing of crop simulation models and other diversified information, conduct disaster monitoring, strengthening of disaster information judged, and the dynamic tracking guide, provide a scientific basis for government decision-making.

the central government to invest 1.2 billion, focusing on drought support the 600 county-level severe drought provincial teams, the standard 10 yuan per mu subsidy arrangements for winter wheat drought poured 800 million yuan in subsidies to arrange Central drought supplies 2 billion reserve fund, earlier issued a number of subsidies and funds invested nearly 60 billion yuan, and the timing of construction of some water sources such as emergency project investment. Make inter-basin water regulation emergency drought and water conservancy construction work.

precipitation, drought water moves around the Fun increase investment, devising drought Seedlings battle.

wheat production accounts for a quarter of China's Henan Province, drought has 2089 acres of winter wheat, the wheat for the 220 million cubic meters of water, more than 110 million cubic meters a year earlier, drought in the Yellow River irrigation water plays an important role in wheat.

for severe drought, Shandong Province, Heze since the end of last year's Yan Tan open gates, the Yellow River has a total of more than 20 water diversion culverts open the drought. At present, Shandong Province, has started two drought response. Nearly 8 million into drought-relief funds, repair, playing more than 30,000 eyes new wells, built more than 20,000 small and medium sized water works and financial arrangements at all levels of the Drought priority projects.

since late September last year, continued dry in the northern region of Anhui Huaibei, continued drought, as of now, Huaibei area along the Huaihe River since 1961 meteorological drought as the worst winter drought. According to weather forecasts, for two days with a rainfall in most parts of Anhui Province, the process will be based on weather conditions, seize the opportunity to carry out artificial rainfall operations in due course, to maximize precipitation.

According to statistics, Shaanxi Province in the field has reached 443 million mu of crops have been affected area, winter and even drought has become the province Fangzong from six cities in the Guanzhong (district) to start anti-drought disaster Ⅲ level emergency response action to rapidly organize and mobilize social forces into drought. Department of Finance allocated an emergency ahead of the province before this year of food subsidies and general subsidies for agricultural capital 2.438 billion yuan to support the province's cities and counties in drought insurance income and spring plowing. Payment before the end of February FAO hands.

to fully mobilize the masses to the enthusiasm of drought reap a bumper harvest, Hebei Province, decided to drought in the country watered wheat subsidy of 10 yuan per mu based on the provincial capital city and county levels and then raised 58.7 million yuan of emergency on the current 587 million mu of wheat affected by the drought and then given 10 yuan per mu, the cumulative subsidy. In addition, Hebei Province, the agricultural sector organization requires in-depth production line technicians to check soil moisture content, checking growth of the seedlings, check the disaster as soon as possible for different regions, different types of wheat drought management program. Pay close attention to water conservancy facilities around the repair and maintenance, to ensure irrigation season apply, get along with.

Middle East and most of the rain and snow to alleviate the drought situation is limited in

According to the Central Meteorological Station forecast in the next two days, the most eastern (including the eastern part of Northwest China, eastern Southwest China, Huang western and southern Huai, Jianghan, JAC, South, South west and north, etc.) will have a precipitation process. Today, southern Shaanxi, central and southern Henan, northern Anhui sleet or snow may occur along the weather.

meteorological analysis, the precipitation help Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, south, northern Anhui and Jiangsu northern winter wheat region increased soil moisture, but limited role in easing drought; north of east, central and northern Shandong and other arid no precipitation, the drought will continue.

by cold air, the afternoon of 9 western and southern Hebei Province, will appear scattered light snow or snow, but little rainfall in central and southern wheat-growing areas, mostly in the 1 mm below the meteorological ease the effects of drought is very limited.
