'He also instructed all units to make sure that there there are no cases of overcharging for water supplies."

why charge at all? i thought this was a state of national emergency. ok, i know...

Readiness for what actions? Ready to do rain dance? There's not enough water! What the H. are they ready for? More BS announcements to fake show the Government is doing something.

You can BS some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

i thought the chinese had fixed the drought

CHINA HAS embarked on an unprecedented "water diplomacy" mission to alleviate the ongoing drought in Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam by discharging massive quantities of fresh water downstream from one of its dams in its southern region.

The emergency water supply from the Chinese Jinghong hydropower station will last one month from March 15 until April 10, marking the first time China has informed downstream countries in advance of its water-discharge schedule, said Nuanla-or Wongpinitwarodom, director of the Mekong River resources management office at the Department of Water Resources.
