The ongoing debates on climate change and global warming have been gaining in significance following the severe drought in Southwestern China, and the vicious winter storms which have hit the North, resulting in some of the worst winter weather in over 40 years.

The Yellow River is the longest river in Northern China. Its waters are used to irrigate almost 15% of China's total arable land, and in turn, around 140 million people.

But the regional drought and lack of rainfall in 2009 has meant that the Yellow River's water reserves have been plummeting. The Yellow River Conservancy Commission says the river's water levels had fallen 30% compared to previous years.
