China's largest freshwater lake sees decreasing water level (3/4)

Photo taken on November 30, 2013 shows shrinking Poyang Lake in Hukou county of east China's Jiangxi Province. As China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake has recently seen a sharp decrease of water level to a record low of 7.93 meters. In early November, Poyang was reduced to streams, with some parts of its vast lake bed becoming pasture or sand after the lake's annual dry season arrived on October 19. [Photo/IC]
