CNS, Nanchang, October 14 (reporter Wang Jian)-14th, xingzi station again dropped below the water level of Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake 10 meter low water level, the Lake District back into the dry season. At present, water levels in Poyang Lake far below the mean value over the same period for many years, and Lake area, water on ecological environment impact.
　　Poyang Lake serious "shrunk" water level below 10 meters into the dry season
Since late July, local severe meteorological drought in Jiangxi province, continuing China's largest freshwater Lake Poyang Lake water supply within the Yangtze River, severely "underwater". According to the Ministry of water resources statistics in early September, drought has caused nearly 2 million acres of crops in the province.
Since then, the xingzi station of Poyang Lake water levels continued to fall. On September 19, the star stage 11.96 m, entered a period of low water in Poyang Lake, on September 27, stars stage of 9.97 meters, Poyang Lake into the dry season.
The end of September, the 17th Typhoon of the year, "Catfish" rainfall, five water increased, sustained rise of water level in Poyang Lake, to October 4, xingzi station of 11.20 meters of water level, after a slow retreat. As of 14th, at 16 o'clock, stars stage 9.96 meters, below the multi-year average of 4.75 meters over the same period.
　　Beach "Grassland" frustration of fishermen abandoned ship
Every year from September to November, this is peak fishing Poyang Lake, but this fall, because the Lake than in previous years is too "thin", fisheries resources are greatly reduced, some fishermen but ashore to abandon ship.
Beijing, reporter in the lakeside area of Jiujiang city, Jiangxi province, this week saw long Lake about 2 months earlier than those of bare transforms into a lush "Prairie", part of the Lake District "wind low as cattle and sheep," the splendour of the.
Regrettable is that beautiful grassland behind the scenes is the degradation of wetland ecological environment of Poyang Lake region. Experts said the decline in fisheries resources will affect 100,000 of thousands of wintering migratory birds in the Lake District for food, migratory birds to forage in the pond farm, "birds are competing for food" contradictions or intensified, suggests an increase in wetland compensation.
Jiangxi provincial Water Conservancy Department, experts say low low water level of Poyang Lake year after year, shows that of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake hydrological situation has undergone major changes.

中国最大淡水湖变成沙滩草原(图)

　　中新网南昌10月14日电  (记者 王剑)14日，中国最大淡水湖鄱阳湖星子站水位再次跌破10米枯水位，湖区再度进入枯水期。目前，鄱阳湖水位远低于多年同期均值，对生态环境及湖区生产、生活用水产生影响。

　　鄱阳湖严重“缩水” 水位跌破10米再进枯水期

　　7月下旬以来，江西局地出现重度气象干旱，境内中国最大淡水湖鄱阳湖水量不断补给长江，严重“缩水”。据水利部门9月初统计数据，干旱导致该省近200万亩农作物受灾。

　　此后，鄱阳湖星子站水位持续走低。9月19日，星子站水位11.96米，鄱阳湖进入低水期；9月27日，星子站水位9.97米，鄱阳湖进入枯水期。

　　9月底，受今年第17号台风“鲇鱼”的降雨影响，五河来水增加，鄱阳湖水位缓涨，至10月4日，星子站水位11.20米，之后再度缓退。截至14日16时，星子站水位9.96米，低于多年同期均值4.75米。

　　湖滩变“草原” 渔民无奈弃船上岸

　　每年9月至11月，本是鄱阳湖捕捞作业的高峰期，但这个秋天，由于鄱阳湖较往年过于“消瘦”，渔业资源大为减少，部分渔民无奈弃船上岸。

　　中新网记者本周在江西省九江市滨湖地区看到，长时间裸露的湖滩较往年提前约2个月变身为丰茂的“草原”，部分湖区一派“风吹草低见牛羊”的壮丽景象。

　　令人遗憾的是，美丽草原景象的背后是鄱阳湖区湿地生态环境的退化。有专家称，渔业资源的减少将影响数以十万计在湖区越冬的候鸟的觅食，候鸟可能到鱼塘农田觅食，“人鸟争食”的矛盾或将加剧，建议加大湿地生态补偿力度。

　　江西省水利部门专家表示，鄱阳湖连年出现低枯水位，表明长江与鄱阳湖的水文情势已发生了重大变化。
