Normally surrounded by water in August, a pagoda-topped island in China's Poyang Lake is now fully visible, testifying to the dramatic impact of a long drought and heatwave on a vital part of the country's irrigation infrastructure.
China's biggest freshwater lake, Poyang is known as the "kidney" because of the role it plays in regulating the flow of the Yangtze river in central Jiangxi province, taking on floodwaters in the normally wet summer and then receding dramatically during the dry autumn and winter.
Poyang's hydrological functions have also been eroded over the years by sand mining and the construction of the Three Gorges and other large-scale dams upstream. "This year it's been dry for ... almost two months. The water was supposed to recede in the middle of September, but this year... it dried up in the middle of July," he said.
