A ferocious drought hit the entire Qianxi County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, drying up 23 out of 27 small-sized reservoirs, 242 out of 262 mountain pools, and 27 out of 33 freshwater lakes till August 23, causing more direct economic losses in agriculture than last year's one-in-100 year drought.
