The impact of China's worst drought in a half-century is deepening, as the parched weather that has left millions without enough drinking water is pushing inflation higher and adding to widespread power shortages.
Reports said Thursday that the power company in Shanghai, the country's commercial center, says some stores and factories may have to close in the hottest days of summer to cope with power shortages. The city is also scrambling to protect its drinking water from being overly tainted by salinity due to higher tides as the flow of the Yangtze River weakens.
Upstream, farmers are watching crops wither and struggling to save their livestock, while inland shipping has been obstructed by low water levels.
