As of 8: 00 a.m. on September 10, the water level of Poyang Lake Duchang Hydrometric Station was seen at 11.89 meters, and the water level of Xingzi Station, which is the landmark hydrometric station of Poyang Lake, has dropped to 11.98 meters.
According to the local hydrology department, on July 20, Poyang Lake's water level fell below the low water line - which is at 12 meters - making 2023 the earliest year to enter the dry period since 1951.
It is expected that rainfall in Jiangxi Province will not be frequent in September, therefore Poyang Lake will enter a continuously receding period under this circumstance.
