Fewer than 9 millimeters of rain has fallen in last three months, the lowest in more than 50 years. Nearly a quarter of a million people face a shortage of drinking water, while forecasters(预报员) warn the dry spell will continue. Since October, most parts of Shandong province haven't received a drop of rain. The drought has crippled (严重损坏)more than half of wheat crops, with nearly 15 percent severely damaged.Yang Zhendong, Director of Provincial Flood & Drought Control HQ, said, "The drought covers everywhere in Shandong Province. It's very serious."The hardest-hit city has been Linyi in the province's southeast. It is the largest prefecture-level city in Shandong. Just 5.8 millimeters of rain has fallen since last September, down 94 percent compared to last year's average.Chen Zhaohua, farmer of Junan County, said, "About three months ago, it rained a little, which just wet the surface of land. We haven't had a drop of rain since then. Look at my wheat - the roots can't go deep into the land without enough water. They are becoming yellow and dry."The drought hasn't just affected wheat crops. Drinking water supplies for people and livestock (家禽)are also drying up rapidly.1.
