Poyang Lake bottomed out, and the stone bridge "Thousand Eyes Bridge" in Ming Dynasty showed its true meaning. Can the water level be restored in a short time?

The water level is difficult to recover in a short time.

Basically, during the dry season of Poyang Lake every year, the Thousand Eye Bridge in the Ming Dynasty will surface. In the flood season, Qianyan Bridge will be submerged in the water. In 2022, due to the continuous high temperature and little rain, the Thousand Eye Stone Bridge submerged in Poyang Lake in Guangxi was four months ahead of schedule, revealing its true colors. The high temperature and dry weather in Guangxi for more than two months eventually led to a sharp drop in the water level of Poyang Lake, which made the ancient stone bridge appear in people's field of vision earlier.

Poyang Lake bottomed out. Yan Qian Bridge, a stone bridge in the Ming Dynasty, showed its true colors.

Due to the weather, Poyang Lake has evaporated a lot, and with high temperature and little rain, the lake has basically bottomed out. Compared with the same period last year, the water level has dropped by more than 4 meters. This led to the early exposure of Yan Qian Bridge, a stone bridge in Ming Dynasty. This stone bridge is the only channel connecting the two sides of the strait in the Ming Dynasty. Later, due to soil erosion, the bottom of the lake gradually rose, and the Qianyan Bridge was slowly submerged in the water. Only in the dry season can people be lucky enough to see its beauty.

Relevant departments have launched emergency response to drought.

Although we were lucky enough to appreciate the true face of the stone bridge in Ming Dynasty and feel the splendid culture in ancient times, this year's drought is very serious, which has seriously affected people's lives and crops, and this influence has become negative, even affecting the drinking water safety of local citizens. Therefore, relevant departments initiated intervention measures and launched emergency response to drought. And sent a number of working groups and experts into the dry areas to monitor, and formulate corresponding countermeasures according to the monitoring results to cope with the more severe drought.

Can the water level be restored in a short time?

According to the current situation, it is unlikely that the water level will be restored in a short time. After all, the drought time is too long, coupled with the continuous high temperature, the evaporation is very large. As a local department concerned, it can only appropriately increase the water storage capacity of the reservoir to ensure that it can cope with the negative impact of drought.
