Floods Cut Water Supplies for 300,000 in China

People in northeastern China, was cut water supplies because heavy rain in the North Korean caused flooding.The residents in Tonghua city in Jilin province had been without tap water for two days because the floods damaged pipes. Many houses in Tonghua did not have water for two days because of the floods.Over 300 workers were move to fix the pipes.

So, the residents help by sent fire trucks to deliver water for domestic purposes aside from drinking to residential communities in the city.

Storms in Jilin have killed or left missing more than 100 people in the past few days. About 1,000 people have been killed this year in floods which have devastated some areas, mostly in central and southern China.Weather forecast predict that the heavy rain are rained until the end of the week.

In my view, people cannot predict an incident when it happens, so people should prepare themselves and government should maintain an infrastructure.
