Tibet local flood control and drought relief office has ordered departments concerned in Lhasa, Lhoka, Xigaze and Chamdo prefectures, where drought is serious, to fight against drought by restoring water conservancy facilities.

Tibet has started a third-degree emergency preplan for drought since moderate drought has hit most areas of the region due to very little rainfall and high temperature after entering summer days.
