Chinese farmers carry buckets of watercalong a dried up field in Huangpi, central China’s Hubei province on May 9, 2011. The drought plaguing central China for months has left more than one million people without proper drinking water and crimped output of hydroelectric power, China’s second-biggest energy source, as water levels at nearly 1,400 reservoirs in Hubei province have fallen below the operational level, according to government figures.
