Jiangxi will start artificial precipitation enhancement by aircraft at the end of March next year. Why are you doing this?

I believe that friends who pay attention to the news know that Jiangxi has suffered a serious drought crisis this year. This time, the high temperature in Jiangxi has continued since July, and high temperature warnings have continued to appear during the summer vacation. Recently, Jiangxi Meteorological Bureau also issued a report, indicating that there is high temperature, little rain and dry weather in Jiangxi. Moreover, affected by this temperature, Jiangxi has been dry for 1 14 days, and even the soil moisture has been less than 40%.

In a blink of an eye, 65438+ 10 has ended, and the arrival of 165438+ 10 did not bring good news to Jiangxi. The average precipitation in the province is still 20-50% less, and the drought continues. In order to alleviate the local drought in Jiangxi, Jiangxi decided to use airplanes for artificial rainfall, which will last until the end of March next year. Many friends will be very curious after hearing about artificial rainfall, why should artificial rainfall be used to solve the drought in Jiangxi? According to Jiangxi official reports, it shows that the plane's route will take off from Nanchang Changbei International Airport, passing through Nanchang, Xinjian, Fengcheng and Linchuan.

For Jiangxi, the drought has a very serious impact on the local residents in Jiangxi, and it has also seriously affected the ecological environment in the inland of Jiangxi. The most obvious is the drop in the water level of Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province, although many friends have heard of the news that the water level of Poyang Lake has fallen to a record low. Poyang Lake itself is the largest freshwater lake in China, which has important cultural significance. Poyang Lake was affected by drought this year, and the water level continued to drop. The drop of water level in Poyang Lake has also brought serious replenishment impact to migratory birds wintering in China this year. Every year, Poyang Lake has a large number of rare migratory birds. As the water level in Poyang Lake drops, not only fish and shrimp production in Hanoi is reduced, but also the nearby aquatic plants wither ahead of schedule.

Secondly, the reduction of precipitation will bring serious production problems to some farmers in Jiangxi. According to the photos taken by residents near Poyang Lake, we can see that many farmers' land has cracked and can no longer be cultivated. Because of long-term water shortage, the soil is not suitable for growing crops. Faced with these necessary problems, Jiangxi decided to carry out artificial rainfall by plane.
