1日8時，三峽水庫下泄流量減少到3.5萬立方米每秒。預計湖北長江中游各站水位將逐步回落，長江防汛形勢趨緩。但7月18日入伏后，湖北大部地區以陣性降雨和晴熱高溫為主，農田失墑快，加上前期降雨時空、蓄水分布不均，鄂北、鄂東北、江漢平原北部旱情蔓延。
Wuhan (CNS)--As floods subside in Hubei, a severe drought has started to overtake part of the province.
As of 8:00 am today, outbound waters from the Three Gorges Dam calmed to a flow of 35,000 cubic meters per second. Other power stations in the middle section of the Yangtze River are also expected to see water levels drop gradually.
However, in contrast to other settlements alongside the Yangtze, the north part of the Jianghan Plain, which is located in eastern and central Hubei, and some northern and northeastern parts of the province are suffering a terrible drought.
By Wednesday, dry conditions had affected nearly 3.5 million mu (577,000 acres) of farmland, 78,000 large livestock and 397,000 local residents in cities that include Xiangyang, Suizhou, Jingmen, Xiaogan and Huanggan.
On July 31, the Hubei government responded by allocating 50 million yuan in total, with 30 million for flood control and 20 million for drought relief.
