Lake shrinks by third. (The sharp fall of the lake's water level will affect shipping and fishing as well as nearby residents' water supply)
China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang, has shrunk by one third over
the last three days due to a reduced water supply from the Yangtze River
and little rainfall.
At 8 am Wednesday, the lake's surface area was 1,490 square kilometers, a reduction of 679 square kilometers compared with 2,169 square kilometers on Monday, said the Jiangxi Provincial Hydrological Bureau on Wednesday.
The water level at the Xingzi hydrological station was 11.99 meters at 4 pm Wednesday, 2.13 meters lower than the average level recorded in recent years. The water level is falling by 30 centimeters every day.

NASA Photographs Show Eastern Basin of Aral Sea Totally Dried
New NASA photographs taken by satellite show Central Asia'
once-vibrant Aral Sea shrinking to levels possibly not seen in
centuries.
The images taken in August by the Terra satellite show that the sea's eastern basin, on the border of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, completely empty, the first time in modern times, said Philip Micklin, a well-known geographer and professor emeritus of Western Michigan University and an Aral Sea expert.
