The most over populated nation and the most rapidly growing economic in Asia may face shortage of rice in the forthcoming months as the Chinese media reveals that south China are suffering from serious drought. The water levels on two major rivers in Jiangxi and Hunan, the two rice-growing provinces has dropped to historic lows leaving almost no water for agriculture.

Almost every year we hear the news of drought and floods in the country.
