多地“喊渴”的河南省，每天正“豪饮”着相当于3个西湖水量的黄河水，全力抗旱保秋。河南黄河河务局27日发布的消息说，该局已开启引黄口门40座，黄河水正通过这些口门源源不断地涌向受旱区。截至6月27日，今年河南引黄河水总量达22.9亿立方米，创1977年以来历史同期引黄河水新高。
Zhengzhou (CNS) -- The Yellow River Henan Bureau announced on Wednesday that in order to relieve drought-hit regions across the province it had opened 40 gates in the dike containing the Yellow River.
By Wednesday, Henan had absorbed a total water volume of 2.29 billion cubic meters released from the Yellow River. On a daily basis it absorbs an amount triple that in the West Lake.
As of May, the average rainfall in the province fell dramatically, by more than half the average, triggering urgent demands for irritation of provincial rice, corn, and cotton fields.
The Xiaolangdi Reservoir is enforcing a water and sand transfer plan, which is expected to increase water flows to its thirsty basin.
