In my opinion, the once-in-a-century drought is an unusual natural disaster that caused a lot of serious problems. After reading this news, I have a stirring of emotion because of the meaning behind the news.
First of all, the drought caused a lack of drinking water thus villagers were difficult to get water. Since clean water is very important for living, so that I think the villagers must be unbearable and uncomfortable of living without drinking water.
I feel very upset when I heard that the villagers were lining up to obtain emergency water supplies because we are easy to get clean water anytime in our city and I have never thought about living without drinking water. Therefore, I feel we are so lucky to have a comfortable and convenient living environment.Moreover, this news can advise people to treasure the drinking water and understand the importance of clean water.
Next, the drought led to a decline in grain output, thus raise the crop and food prices. I am furious at the poor rescue from the government as the farmlands dried up but the farmers did not have water tanks to irrigate crops since the government did not invest in such projects.Therefore, the villagers were finding water resources and digging wells by themselves. I think the government should invest rural drinking water projects and irrigation facilities in the drought-hit regions so that it can stabilize the grain output and prevent social instability.
Last but not least, although we cannot stop the occurrence of natural disasters, we can prevent the natural disasters from protecting our planet. Since a lot of natural disasters are caused by environmental destruction and pollution, we can improve the environment in order to avoid the natural disasters. If the government can provide a suitable and immediate reaction, I think the effect of this drought can be reduced more.
Finally,I hope the drought will end as soon as possible and the life of the villagers can return to normal.
